The ancient settlement had over 1,200 buildings and nearly 50 streets, indicating that it was likely a huge settlement at the time and home to thousands of people.
The 6,000-year-old temple measuring about 60 by 20 meters in size contained figurines that resemble humans. Remains of sacrificed animals were also found at the ancient building. Sites such as this have been found in other parts of Ukraine and Eastern Europe, and these are believed to belong to the “Trypillian” culture.
