Dolmens

Dolmens are ancient burial structures made of large upright stones supporting horizontal stones, forming a chamber. Typically dating back to the Neolithic period, they served as tombs or monuments for the dead. Built without mortar or construction technology, dolmens demonstrate early human engineering and social organization. Found across Europe, Asia, and Africa, they often sit on mounds of earth or stones, highlighting their ritual significance. Dolmens provide valuable insights into prehistoric societies, their beliefs, and communal practices related to death and remembrance.
