About
Nebra, a town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, is a significant archaeological site primarily known for the discovery of the Nebra sky disk, a Bronze Age artifact created between 2100 and 1700 BCE and buried around 1600 BCE. The site also yielded Magdalenian figurines from the late Upper Paleolithic, dating back 12,000 to 14,000 years. The town's historical documents date back to 876 CE, and Nebra Castle, built in 1540 CE, highlights the area's medieval heritage. The site is an essential link for understanding Bronze Age astronomical practices and Upper Paleolithic art, contributing significantly to the study of prehistoric Europe.
