Archaeologists in the Czech Republic have discovered a 6,500-year-old circular sanctuary, known as a rondel, that predates England's Stonehenge by approximately 1,000 years. The prehistoric structure measures 230 meters in diameter and features a ditch that is over 2.5 meters deep.

The enclosure includes 12 irregularly spaced entrances designed to align with key solar and lunar cycles, highlighting the astronomical knowledge of the Neolithic builders who constructed the monument millennia ago.
