Prehistoric Denmark comes alive through illustrations recreating scenes from the Neolithic age, and is fascinating to imagine how life unfolded during this time when agriculture began to replace hunting-gathering as the primary means of sustenance. Funerary objects discovered in conical tumulus from Sudan's Nubian Desert shed light on burial practices during this period. Stone pendants and cowry shells found alongside human remains reflect both artistic expression and spiritual significance attached to death rituals. In Borger, Netherlands lies Giants Bed (hunebedden), an impressive long dolmen that stands tall even today after thousands of years since its construction.
