Dolmens: Another Example of Megalithic Structures

A dolmen is a type of megalithic tomb typically consisting of two or more upright stones that support a large, flat horizontal stone, often referred to as a “capstone” or “table.” While there are more intricate variations, this basic structure is common among dolmens.

The origins of dolmens, including when they were built, by whom, and for what purpose, remain uncertain.

Archaeologists continue to struggle with identifying the creators of these structures, making it challenging to understand the reasons behind their construction.

Though the exact purpose is unclear, dolmens are generally assumed to be tombs or burial sites, despite the lack of definitive evidence supporting this theory.
