European Megalithic Culture

European Megalithic Culture refers to a prehistoric tradition characterized by the construction of large stone monuments, such as tombs, burial sites, and ceremonial structures, primarily between 4000 and 1500 BCE. These monuments, like dolmens and passage graves, demonstrate advanced engineering and social organization. They served religious, funerary, or astronomical purposes, reflecting complex beliefs. Spread across parts of Western Europe, notably in Brittany, the British Isles, and Iberia, this culture highlights early communal effort and cultural interconnectedness in prehistoric Europe.
