*Interesting.  Many of my ancestors (and entirely from the paternal side of my family) are from Slovakia.  Gives a glimpse of ancestors.

Might be some early Celtic civilization, already heard about an early culture that must have had a far reaching trade network with early European textiles found as far away as China.

Re: Europe's Oldest Civilization Discovered

The celts where one of the peoples that migrated westwards they appear to have been originally from what is now turkey. They also had a small amount that moved eastwards and that is why one of the peoples of China has a tendency to red hair and their ancient tombs have in them people similar to the celts the romans fought.

It appears the celts where a very advanced people and their knowledge and culture spread further than they actually physically spread. This has been found by research into the skeletons of people from Russia to Ireland and Scotland. Though attired and using celtic equipment many where found to be of the indigenous people that where present for millenia before.

Re: Europe's Oldest Civilization Discovered

Depends on how you define a civilization. The culture of trade has existed far longer than any other. The ones who didnt trade died out. Those who did, prospered. Therefore civilization has functioned at its peak along the traderoutes of the world: always changing, discovering new things, ideas, and philosophies.
