Extraordinary mass graves from centuries-old battles emerge along highway route

Archaeologists stumbled across multiple military graves during highway construction in Central Europe — shedding light on forgotten battles dating back hundreds of years.

The discovery was announced earlier this month by the Archaeological Center Olomouc (ACO), a research institution in the Czech Republic.

The mass graves were found along a 2.3-mile-long stretch of the D11 highway between the northeastern Czech cities of Jaroměř and Trutnov.
