.People lived in Switzerland more than .7000 years ago. We know this because a drought m Greng, near the Lake of Morat, revealed the remains of a prehistoric village. .The level of the lake went down t6 such an extent that the bottom was exjposed in many places. The ancient dwellings were built on piles driven deep into the mud. The nuts on the piles were made of wood and clay. Straw, reeds, and rushes formed the thatched roofs. . Numerous relics , made, of stone, copper, bronze, and iron have been dug up from the mud. Bones of all the common animals have also been found. It would appear- that the people who these humble dwellings were civilised.
