Drought in Europe reveals underwater mysteries

It continues to experience its hottest days in recent years in Europe. Besides the temperatures, it hasn't even rained for weeks. Because of this, drought has already started in some countries. In the news we made in the last days, England had declared a drought. With the drought, mysterious objects underwater began to appear.

Due to these air temperatures, the number of deaths has also increased considerably. Rivers and lakes have dried, causing major problems for shipping and other vessels. The receding water levels have also revealed some usually-buried treasures.

One stone, which was first carved as far back as the 15th Century, also surfaced in 1616, when locals inscribed into it the words "if you see me, cry".

Low water levels in the Danube in Serbia have revealed the sunken remains of World War Two ships, still loaded with explosives.

The ships, found near the town of Prahova, were part of a Nazi fleet sunk in 1944. More are expected to emerge as the drought continues.

Several German ships were sunk at Prahovo as the Nazis were fleeing Soviet forces.

About 3,000 people were evacuated from a village near the city of Mantua in July, while experts removed and safely exploded a previously-submerged WW2 bomb. A barge used by Germans and sunk in 1943 has also emerged in the River Po.

Locals began to see the Zibello barge as water levels dropped some months ago, and more of it has been revealed as the drought continues. 

Low levels of the River Tiber in Rome have revealed the ruins of an ancient bridge that may have been built by Emperor Nero around 50AD.

It has always been possible to see a small part of the ruins at low water levels, but much more than usual can now be seen of the structure.

It lies below the site of a modern bridge, the Vittorio Emanuele II.

In Spain, the "Spanish Stonehenge" has appeared in the Valdecanas reservoir in the central province of Caceres.

Officially called the Dolmen of Guadalperal, the circle of stones is believed to date back to 5000BC.

They were discovered by an archaeologist in 1926, but the area was flooded in a rural development project in 1963.

Since then they have only been visible four times.

In Galicia, on the border with Portugal, a "ghost village" emerged earlier in the year as drought dramatically emptied the waters of a reservoir.

Acevedo was flooded in 1992 to make way for the reservoir. Some of its former residents have returned to look around the now-ruined buildings.
