People lived in Switzerland more, than 70*00 years ago. This has become known because a drought in Greng, near the Lake of Morat, revealed the remains of a prehistoric village. Tho level of tho lake went down to such au extent that t‘m bottom was exposed in many places. The ancient dwellings were built on piles driven deep into the mud. The huts on the piles were made of wood and elay. Straw, reeds and rushes formed the thatched roofs. Numerous relics made of stone, copper, bronze and iron have been <lm: up from the mud. Bones of all the common animals have also been found. I; would appear that the people who occupied these humble dwellings were civilised.
