The dig did not show that the legendary ruler Krakus was buried under the mound.
Debated. Scholars still do not agree when the mound was built.
The mound stands near Krakow, in Poland, on the right bank of the Vistula, about 2,400 metres from Wawel Castle. It is about 16 metres high, and the base is about 60 metres across. Packed earth and stones were set around a tall post and wicker panels. A dig found traces of a Stone Age and early Iron Age settlement, from the end of the Lusatian culture, about 1300 to 400 BC. Also in the mound were a bronze belt from the 8th century, the remains of an oak, a bronze object, and a silver coin of the Czech prince Boleslav II, who ruled from AD 920 to 999.
The page says the date is still open, with ideas running from about 500 BC into the Middle Ages.
