German archaeological treasures on show in Berlin exhibition

The design of the exhibition is by theme, rather than chronological, Matthias Wemhoff, director of the Museum for Pre- and Early History told the press on Thursday.
Among the finds are the 35,000-year-old Venus of Hohle Fels found in the Swabian Alps and the Nebra Disc, showing the sun, moon and stars. The disc has been dated to around 1600 BC.
A Roman sheet-pile harbour wall made of oak and almost 2,000 years old is another major item on display.
The exhibition in the Martin Gropius Bau museum runs to January 6.
