Orașul Paris își poate rescrie istoria. Un zid galic vechi de peste 2.000 de ani, descoperit pe Île de la Cité

A defensive wall approximately 20 meters long was found in the courtyard of the Hôtel-Dieu hospital in Paris, believed to be part of the Gallic oppidum of Lutetia mentioned by Julius Caesar. The wall, made of stone and wood, shows signs of fire damage. Nearby, archaeologists discovered wooden construction remnants and a Gallic spear tip. Carbon-14 dating suggests the wood dates back to 200-10 BC. Additionally, a two-meter thick platform made of sand and gravel was found behind the wall, supporting the idea of a significant fortification. This discovery may provide the first material evidence of the Parisii oppidum's location on Île de la Cité, shedding light on the origins of Paris. Ongoing archaeological research aims to clarify the site's function and chronology.
