Yes, dinosaurs lived here about 250 millions years
ago in Świętorzyskie Mountains (in south part of today’s Poland). Some other dinosaurs’ fossils
were found in Silesia (not far from our town
Dzierżoniów) – they are about 200 millions years old.

Now we are in one of the oldest mountains in
Europe – Sudety (Sudetes)
![Page 6: Etwin and Ning visiting Poland](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042617/568c4e531a28ab4916a77b7a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
In Sudetes a wonderful cave is situated. The cave is called „Bear Cave” because the bones of cave bears were found there.
The Bear Cave was created for
about 48 millions years. The proccess started 50
millions years ago and ended
about 1,5 millions years
ago.

Cave bears lived in Sudetes in Europe during the Pleistocene
and became extinct at the beginning of the Last Glacial
Maximum, about 27,500 years ago.

The settlement at Biskupin belongs to the Hallstatt C and D periods (early Iron Age, 800-650 BC and
650-475 BC).
Etwin and Ning are going north and visiting the archaeological open air
museum Biskupin. It is an archaeological site and a life-size model of an Iron Age
fortified settlement in north-central (Wielkopolska) Poland.

Middle Ages is a very good period in history of Poland. First kings ruled the
country and it was becoming bigger and bigger. In 12th century our home town
Dzierżoniów was set up. The towns usually were surrounded with deffensive walls. We have some Middle Ages deffensive
walls in Dzierżoniów.Unfortunately Middle Ages is a period of
many wars in Europe.One of the biggest battle took place near
a village of Grunwald.

The Partitions of Poland or Partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian
Commonwealth are three partitions which took place in the second half of the 18th century (1772,1793,1795)
and ended the existence of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth for 123
years.

Those 123 years were very difficult for Polish people.
They tried to regain independence, many
national uprisings took place and at
last after WW1 (the first World War) we
fought our independence.

Poland as independent only for 21 years. On 1st
September 1939 Germans invaded the country from
the west and on 17th September 1939 the
Soviet Union invaded from the east. The country was occupied by two enemy
countries. It was terrible time of war. A lot of
people were killed, taken to work or death camps…

Unfortunately, the end of WW2 in
Europe wasn’t the beginning of
freedom for Poland. The Soviet communism
occupied Poland till 1989. The years of communism were the time of terror,
empty shops, closed borders,…

In 1989 after many years of „Silidarity” fight for democracy, in Poland first
democratic election took place – that’s the end of communism in Poland.
