Drought in Europe reveals once-submerged treasures Europe suffers from weeks of drought, with persistent heat waves leading to deaths and evacuations.
Rivers and lakes have dried up, causing major problems to navigation and other boats. The falling water level also revealed some treasures that were buried under the water.
Among those treasures are the so-called "hunger stones", which are stones carved at the waterline of rivers during past droughts as a warning to future generations that if these stones appear above the water, hardship awaits us.
Most of these stones appeared on the banks of the Elbe River, which flows from the Czech Republic to Germany. One of these stones, which was first carved in the fifteenth century, came to the surface in 1616, when locals carved the words “If you see me, APKO's low water level in Serbia's Danube revealed sunken wrecks of World War II ships, still laden with explosives.

It was discovered by an archaeologist in 1926, but the area was submerged in a rural development project in 1963.
Since then, it has only been seen four times. In Galicia, on Spain's border with Portugal, a "ghost village" appeared earlier this year after drought left a basin with water depleted.
The village, called "Atherido", was flooded in 1992 in order to make way for the construction of the dam's reservoir.
Some of the former villagers returned to look at the destroyed buildings.
