RECENT PREHISTSORIC DISCOVERY MADE

Wisconsin historians recently announced the discovery of at
least 11 ancient canoes in a Badger State lake – including one
boat that dates back to 2500 BC.

The findings were announced by the Wisconsin Historical
Society on May 23. The canoes were found in Lake Mendota,
which is located outside of Madison.

The Wisconsin Historical Society explained that two ancient
canoes were found in a cache in the lake in 2021 and 2022.

Since then, historians have found at least 11 other ancient
canoes, along what they believe was an
ancient shoreline
that became submerged over time.

Not all the canoes will be removed from the lake due to their
fragility.

The blue gas giant, which has a diameter four
times that of Earth, was named for the Roman
god of the sea. It has eight known moons, of
which Triton is the largest, and a ring system
containing three bright and two dim rings.

It completes an orbit of the sun once every
165 years. In 1989, the U.S. planetary
spacecraft Voyager 2 was the first human
spacecraft to visit Neptune.
