The lesson, based on unique monuments, will bring us closer to the daily life of the prehistoric inhabitants of the region in the following eras: the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. We will answer questions: how their culture and way of life differed from ours, what were their beliefs, how they dealt with the dead.

The class will begin with an introduction about the work of an archaeologist, while at the end we will test our knowledge with a quiz.
