2005 seems to be a remarkably lucky year for Czech archaeologists. After
several discoveries in Prague, including the original burial chamber of
Emperor Charles IV, and a thousand-year-old bronze hoard of treasure
uncovered two weeks ago in the town of Mlada Boleslav, archaeologists have
unearthed another precious artefact just outside Prague. It is a small

Current AffairsCzechs uncover "lost city" at frosty heights
A Czech scientific expedition has claimed to have found a lost Inca city at
the highest altitude to date in the Andes Mountains of Bolivia. A team of
two Czech scientists and two researchers - including the head of the
philosophy faculty of Olomouc, Ivo Bartecek - spent three weeks of the
South American winter to prove that Inca and pre-Incan civilisations once
existed at the highest regions of the Andean mountain range. The
expedition centred on the area around Lake Titicaca. The Czechs hope to
shed new light on the life of the Incas and their history. More
Czech ScienceExcavation reveals 12th-century houses in Prague's New Town
With a bit of exaggeration we can say that since the fall of communism
Prague has become one big building site. The centre of Prague has a
1000-year old history. So every time before the heavy machinery arrives at
a building site, every square metre has to be sieved for remnants of past
settlements. In today's Czech Science we take you to an excavation site
which in a year's time will become one of the largest shopping centres in
the city.

archeologists discovered a crypt under St Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle
- his first burial place. Now archeologists have made their discovery
public.

Czech ScienceBuried treasure discovered in central Prague
Prague is a city with a 1000-year old history. So no wonder that wherever
you dig, you're bound to discover foundations of old houses or at least a
broken pot. It's much rarer though that archaeologists find something more
valuable - buried treasure, for example. But fortune smiled on a group of
archaeologists last week when they discovered a clay jar chock-full of
silver coins right in the centre of Prague.
