The Saint-Bélec slab is thought to be Europe's oldest map. Carved with a series of geometric markings, the slab was discovered in 1900 during the excavation of a Bronze Age cist tomb in France. Over the years experts have concluded that it probably depicts a Bronze Age principality centred on a royal enclosure, as well as features of the surrounding area. However, not all of the markings have been decoded, so a new project has been launched to see if these markings on the slab can help to find unknown archaeological sites or geological deposits. In this video I talk about the slab's rediscovery in 2014, the subsequent analysis of it and why it's back in the news.
