Megalithic tombs

Megalithic tombs are ancient burial structures built using large stones, often dating back thousands of years. They typically consist of upright stones supporting a horizontal capstone, forming chambers or passageways. These tombs served as communal burial sites and often reflect significant cultural or spiritual beliefs of the societies that built them. Common types include passage graves, dolmens, and menhirs, found across regions like Europe, Asia, and Africa. Their construction demonstrates advanced engineering skills and emphasizes the importance of honoring the dead within prehistoric communities.
