"Dolmen: Ancient Neolithic Burial Chambers Standing the Test of Time" Step back in time to over 4500 years ago, where the mysterious dolmens were erected as burial chambers for our ancestors. These impressive stone structures, scattered across various corners of the world, hold secrets and stories that have captivated historians and archaeologists alike. One such remarkable site is Chun Cromlech in Morvah, Cornwall. It was during the summer of 1858 when this ancient dolmen caught the attention of explorers who marveled at its grandeur. The Dolmen of Bagneux also stands tall as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. Traveling further north to Co Tyrone, Ireland, we encounter Baronscourt Cromlech - another awe-inspiring example of these prehistoric wonders. Meanwhile, nestled amidst County Clare's rugged landscape lies Poulnabrone Dolmen; its imposing presence evokes a sense of reverence for those who once laid their loved ones to rest within its stone walls. Venturing beyond Europe's borders takes us to Catalonia in Spain, where the Dolmen of Pedracabana stands proudly as a reminder of ancient civilizations' rich history. Even across continents, dolmens continue to leave an indelible mark on humanity's collective memory. Closer to home in England's Cornwall region rests Lanyon Quoit - a Stone Age dolmen that has stood resilient against time's relentless march forward. Its weathered stones tell tales from centuries past with every passing breeze. Ireland remains home to some truly extraordinary examples like Poulnabrone Dolmen Portal Megalithic Tomb in County Clare or Kilclooney Dolmen found near Ardara in Co. Donegal. These sites serve as poignant reminders that our connection with our ancestors transcends generations and borders.
