Tumulus burial mounds

A tumulus burial mound is a raised, earth-covered structure built over a grave, typically from ancient times. These mounds, which can vary in size and shape, often contain one or more burials and may be found in various cultures worldwide. They are significant archaeological sites, providing valuable insights into burial practices, social structures, and the beliefs of the people who constructed them. Tumulus mounds can be simple or elaborate, sometimes adorned with stones or artifacts, reflecting the status or culture of the deceased.
