Скачать или смотреть Europe's First Cities Burned Down Every 70 Years: The Cucuteni-Trypillia Enigma

Thousands of years before Athens or Rome, Europe saw its first cities rise... and then systematically burn to the ground.

Welcome to the baffling world of the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture, a sophisticated Neolithic civilization that built enormous "mega-sites" in Eastern Europe, housing tens of thousands.

In this cinematic documentary, we uncover the evidence for these vast, orderly proto-cities and explore their stunningly intricate pottery and mysterious female figurines. But the central enigma remains: Why did the Trypillians deliberately incinerate their own settlements in a cycle repeating roughly every 70 years?

Was it practical pest control? A ritual purification? Or a profound belief in the life cycle of the settlement itself? We delve into the theories behind one of ancient history's most perplexing practices.
