Periods through history
Pre-history
Early modern humans had settled in the region by the Paleolithic. The Předmostí archaeological site in Moravia is dated to between 24,000 and 27,000 years old.12
Arrival of the Slavs
The Slavs (Czech tribes in Bohemia and Moravians in Moravia) arrived in the sixth century. According to historian Dušan Třeštík, the first Slavs came through Moravian Gate (Moravská brána) valley and in 530 moved into the eastern Bohemia and along rivers Labe and Vltava further into central Bohemia. Many historians support theory of further wave of Slavs coming from the south during the first half of the seventh century. It was ruled by Avars till beginning of 9th century except brief Samo's empire rule in 7th century.
