Throughout the world there are many different interesting sites to visit with many different interesting people and cultures. One of these many sites is Leubingen, located in Germany. The people must have been very intelligent; the cranial capacity was much larger than ours by about 7%. They probably stemmed from the first several tribes that originated into the Indo-European race around 4,000 years ago. These sites of the German peoples show an extreme reference to a higher power. They became a large and religious culture.
The graves or diggings of Leubingen, in the Kingdom of Sommerda in Thuringen date back before 3892 + 10 years ago, and Helmsdoin, Kingdom Mansfelder Land in the state of Saxon-Auhalt 3645 + 60 years ago. The tent-formed wooden sites which were covered in silt and protected by spears, and also for protection they used stone packs and covered them with dirt. The hill grave had a height of 8.3 meters and a width of about 34 meters. There is not a noted age of this site because it was there before people were but archaeologist's estimate that Leubingen is over 5,000 years old. This site has always been known to the people of Germany because it is in a semi populated area.
At the site, they found golden rings, armed rings, hair pins, golden spiral rolls and a big grave cover. With the golden, luxurious objects their graves are symbols of the rest of the area and culture. The two graves are symbols of the Aujetifzer Kelfur.
Similar Graves have been found in Dieskav, Saalkreis, and in Nienstedt as well as Leki Male in Poland. The items found in Leubingen, show the extreme complexity of the people:
-Bronze arrowheads
-axe heads (bronze)
-many intricate tools
This site can be considered of great importance because you can find artifacts
from the past and have a better understanding to these people’s culture
and way of life.
