Striking Similarity Between Ancient Dolmens World-Wide

7 June, 2015

MessageToEagle.com - These ancient dolmens are yet another great example of ancient universal thinking.

It is obvious the ancient traditions were the same despite the vast distance separating these cultures.

Let us also keep in mind that the builders of the dolmens were unrelated to each other. Intriguing, isn't it?

A dolmen, also known as a cromlech, portal tomb, portal grave or quoit, is a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb, usually consisting of two or more upright stones supporting a large flat horizontal capstone (table), although there are also more complex variants. It remains unclear when, why, and by whom the earliest dolmens were made.The oldest known dolmens are in Western Europe, where they were set in place around 7000 years ago.

It should be added that archaeologists still do not know who erected these dolmens, which makes it difficult to know why they did it.
