The future of travel in Prague integrates environmental consciousness, quietness, efficiency, and quality, all through the Ring Road, intended to be complete in two years. As work on the road progresses, new discoveries are made, such as axes, hammers, and corkscrews from the Neolithic era and kitchen ceramics, iron and bronze tools, and glass beads from the Hallstatt era, for example. Their discoveries come from one of the greatest archeological efforts seen in the Czech Republic. Even now, and perhaps in the far future, old life is uncovered in preparation for the Ring Road’s finished construction.
Remains of the Přemyslid dynasty uncovered in Olomouc
The Přemyslid dynasty was a powerful and influential royal family in Bohemia that ruled between the late 9th and early 14th century. The remains of several members, however, are of those who lived and died between the 11th and early 13th century. After the discovery of the family’s bodies in the storeroom of St. Stephen in 2018, researchers used DNA and radiocarbon dating to determine that those buried are indeed the members of the Přemyslid family.
