Archaeologists have made an incredible discovery in the Wda (Wdecki Park Krajobrazowy) landscape park near the village of Stara Rzeka in northern Poland. They have discovered 50 ancient burials containing treasures that are 2000 years old.

These burials were filled with priceless artefacts, including ceramics, brooches, amber beads, silver jewellery and other valuables.

The discovered burials were divided into two groups: pit and urn. These ancient artefacts date back to the 4th century AD and belong to the Germanic people known as the Goths, who inhabited northern Poland between the 1st and 5th centuries AD.

Several valuable artefacts have been found in these ancient burials, including two silver necklaces, two silver fibulae and a necklace of small silver beads that were made with snake motifs. Interestingly, these weapons and jewellery came from different regions: from Scandinavia in the north to the Black Sea in the south.

Archaeologist and researcher Olaf Popkiewicz discovered this ancient burial site while walking along the banks of the Wda River. He noted that the artefacts found were in excellent condition. Thus, it is possible to obtain more information about the time and culture of the Goths.

The archaeologists said that their research is only part of the excavations they are carrying out in the region. They plan to continue working at the site to study all the artefacts in detail and preserve them for future generations.

As a reminder, a tunnel used for covert military operations was found under the ruins of an old castle in Poland.
