European heatwave reveals sunken WWII explosives and prehistoric fossils
Extreme heat across Europe has caused river levels to drop significantly, uncovering long-hidden historical items like World War II-era explosives, old shipwrecks, and even fossils from the Ice Age. In Bulgaria, the receding Danube River brought to light the skeletal remains of a woolly mammoth. Meanwhile, low water in Budapest led to the discovery of a bomb from the Second World War, and in Serbia, vessels from the same conflict that had been underwater for decades have now reappeared.
