World's Earliest Maps? Asset of broken stones covered with manmade lines and squares, discovered at a 5,000-year-old sacred site in Denmark, may be some of humankind’s earliest maps, according to archaeologists. The researchers think the stones are symbolic maps of local landscapes and were perhaps used in ceremonies by Stone Age farmers who hoped to magically influence the sun to increase the productivity of their Farmlands. Pieces of 10 of the "map stones" or "landscape stones” were found in June, during an archaeological dig of a round, earth-walled ‘village’ at the Vasagard archaeological site on Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic Sea. Excavations in the area since the 1990s have revealed hundreds of broken flat stones decorated with patterns of straight lines starting off from a central point. They are called "sun stones" or "solar stones” ("solsten"in Danish) because of their resemblance to a drawing of the sun. ‘Archaeologists have said these artifacts are likely from the ceremonies of a Neolithic sun- worshipping religion that existed about 5,000 years ago. But the map stones are inscribed with a set of totally different pattern of squares and lines that look like Fields, fences and plants, said archaeologist Flemming Kaul, the senior researcher in prehistory at the National Museum of Denmark. "There was one particular stone that seems to be rather complicated, and we allagree that it looks like some sort of a map — not a map in our modern sense, but a stylized map," Kaul told Live Science. "And I could see some similarities with rock symbols from the Alpsin northern Italy, dated to the same period of time, which are interpreted as symbolic landscapes — and that is what | believe we have Found now." The most detailed of the newly discovered map stones went on display in October at the Moesgaard Museum in Aarhus, Denmark. It measures about 2 inches (5 centimeters) across and has been broken into three pieces. One triangular piece has not yet been Found, the researchers said. Kaul said the stone was probably crushed during an ancient ceremony, like what the researchers saw with many sun stones also Found at the site. The pieces were then placed in the ditches that surround the sacred area sometime between 2900 B.C. and 2700 B.C., according to the archaeologists.‘The stones found in Denmark were worshiped by ancient farmers. Itis believed that the lines on solar stones resemble landscape marks. ‘The symbols on map stones are the same as those on the rock symbols in the Alps. The stone with the most work on it is not whole. ‘Many of the stones had been destroyed on purpose.Reading Part 1 Read the text and the statements.

On any other July evening the park near my house would be bustling wth activity. Children playing, mothers pushing prams ... Anyone not on the beach on such a warm day would most definitely be there. But on this particular July evening, nearly 40 years ago, something seemed amiss. The streets were empty. ‘As were the beach and the park. Everyone was in their homes, glued, it would seem, in front of their television sets. Transfixed. Waiting for something great to happen. Iwas there too of course, Almost too young to remember. And probably wouldn't remember the event itself had it not been shown over and over again for many years to come, being etched as it were in our memory. But what I could never forget is the atmosphere, the sense that something great was about to take place. It wes there on the Faces of the grown-ups. In the vay everyone sat quietly in anticipation. ‘And then, there it was. A fuzzy image of a strange vehicle landing on a dry surface. Out came twomen dressed in strange white suits and watking in a very peculiar way. And that was it. July 16, 1969 Apollo 11 became the first manned mission to land on the moon. Ever since it has been disputed many times over. Many have said that it wes all filmed inastudia. That t was the hoax of the century. Maybe they are right and maybe they are not. Maybe it was all make-believe. But what was not fake was the Feeling of hope it put in our hearts. If we could walk on the moon then thesky was, the limit. What could possibly be out of bounds for us from nowon? And then, just for the briefest of moments we sat awe-stricken as we knewthat we were watching history being made.People would spend the werm afternoons in the park. People were waiting to see their favourite TV show. The event has been broadcast many times since then. ‘The atmosphere was light and festive ‘The people shown on TV acted strangely.Reading Part 1 Read the text and the statements.

Mr Warren's secretary had warned me on the telephone about the automatic gates. ‘Drive up to within two Feet and they will open automatically. Sounds sinister, | know, but you can’t be too careful these days’. nosed up to the gates, which began to open -silent and, sure enough, sinister.

You're Fifty minutes late’. said | wasn't and explained my business. ‘My apologies, she sald. We're expecting a photographer and a reporter from one of the glossies. The reporter's tured up but where is the camera chap? Everything is running late because of him. I'l tell my husband you're here’. Presently Mr Warren came crunching across the Forecourt gravel, hand outstretched, Sorry about the mixcup,'he said. ‘Pleased to meet you'. |asked him what interest the glossy magazine had in him. He was cheerily evasive, waving his arm and saying, ‘Oh, you know, one has interests and concerns which other people may Find... illuminating’. Mr Warren's house was a Victorian mansion, laced with dark corridors. The vertical planes were | crowded with paintings, which passed in a blur as | Followed him, trying to keep up with his long strides down the long gloomy corridors. At one point we scooted through a sort of half-room, where there was enough space fora table with chairs on either side and sitting in these chairs were two figures. They made me jump when | saw them; then | thought they might be dummies, but they were real enough. One was a woman, head down, who scribbled furiously in a notebook - the magazine reporter, presumably. The other was a man in @ bow-tie who leaned back in his chair with his hands knitted behind his head. ‘And you say that was in 1975?’ said the woman as we passed. Warren failed to acknowledge these people in the slightest way, as if they were apparitions and only | had seen them.The writer had prior notification of the entry system.
