Among the listed ruins are the greatest interests of the three walls ("fortresses") of Saxauman with a length of about 600 m. The first and second walls reach a height of 10 m, the third - 5 m. The lower (first) wall consists of andesite and diorite blocks weighing from 100 to 200 tons. The largest of them has dimensions of 9 x 5 m x 4 m. The blocks of the second and third walls are slightly smaller than the blocks of the first tier.

But those and others are so accurately adjusted to each other that even the blade of the knife is impossible to push between them. In addition, all blocks are polyhedra of a rather complicated form. They cut down in a quarry, lying 20 km from Saksauman. During these 20 km awayseveral gorges, steep lifts and descents!

Cusco
In Cusco there are remnants of cycloic walls, isolated from huge stone blocks, also filigined fitted to each other. One of these buildings is the Inca Palace.

Olitantambo
In the Ollantaytambo, the giant building blocks from Andesita and Pink Powfire are located at the base of the Sun Temple, the preserved fragments of the rear wall and the gate of the temple 10 niches, the "sacred zone" (in scattered form) and the first row of the terraces. They are also found in different hard-to-reach valve r. Urubamba. Locals call them "tired stones" (Piedras Cansadas).

The site "Living Ethics in Germany" provides a truly fantastic hypothesis that the ancient builders of South American megalithic structures softened the rock material to a jelly-like state with their mental energy. Then they cut it into huge blocks of arbitrary shape, they were transported by air to the place of construction with the help of telekinease, and there they laid them into the walls, configuring one to another by the same method of softening the rock blocks to a plastic substance, giving them the desired form on the spot. Only in this way it is possible to explain the strange form that the Giant buildings of Olitantambo, the Palace of Inca in Cusco, Saksauaman's walls, Razvalin Tiaanako, Ahu's Testaments on Easter Island and other similar buildings.

Giant monolithic sculptures South America and O. Pasha


In addition to the ruins, an important part of the megalithic culture of South America are giant monolithic sculptures in Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, on. Easter, as well as "Olmek's heads" in Mexico. The height of such sculptures reaches 7-10 m, and weight 20 or more tons. Height Height ranges from 2 to 3 m with weight up to 40 tons.

MOAI and AHU - Megalithic facilities of Easter Island


Especially a large number of sculptures - MOAI - is on about. Easter. Their 887. The biggest ones are on the slopevolcano early raracca. They are immersed in sediment, accumulated on the island for his long history. Some Moakes used to stand on stone pedestals - Ahu. The total number of AHU exceeds 300. Their size ranges from several tens of meters to 200 m.
The largest Moa "El Giant" (El Gigante) has a height of 21.6 m. It is in a quarry early raracca and weigh about 150 tons (according to other data, 270 tons). The largest Moi "Paro" (Paro), standing on the pedestal, is located on the Ahu Te Pito Kura (Ahu Te Pito Kura). Its height reaches 10 m, and the weight is about 80 tons. The height of the MOAI, scattered along the slope of the volcano, early raracca is also about 10 m.

Sculpture of heads of people and animals on the Plateau Marcaguashi


In one row with ruins and giant sculptures, you can put huge sculpture of the heads of people with features of Europeans and blacks, as well as images of monkeys, turtles, cows, horses, elephants, lions and camels on the altitude of about 4 km of Marcaguashi Plateau in Peru. About the ancient age of these images indicate at least two facts. First, the "engraved" animals on the plateau never lived at such a height. Secondly, most of them disappeared from the American continent long before the appearance of Europeans there - from 10-12 to 150-200 thousand years ago.

Stone balls from granite and obsidian Central America and Mexico


The following evidence of the existence of highly developed civilizations in Decolumbovaya America is stone balls from granite and obsidian in Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala and the United States (New Mexico). Among them are real giants with a diameter of up to 3 m.The determination of the absolute age of Mexican obsidian balls showed that they were formedin the tertiary period "Even before the appearance of a person" (no later than 2 million years ago). Trying to find an explanation for this, the American scientist R. Smith expressed the hypothesis that they had a natural way from volcanic ash.

Megalithic facilities of the Middle East

Baalbek in Lebanon
The ruins of megalithic structures and other ancient archaeological monuments are also known far beyond the American continent. The most majestic of them are the ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon. The weight of each of the three stone blocks in the trilitone, located in the base of the Ancient Romans of the Temple of Jupiter, is 750 tons. The surfaces of the blocks are perfectly processed, and their dimensions simply amaze: 19.1 x 4.3 x 5.6 m. And these monoliths are located ... in an eight meter height! They rest on blocks slightly smaller.

In Polkilometer south of the temple of Jupiter from the ground at an angle of 30grad. figures the world's largest processed stone - southern or maternal - weighing about 1200 tons and dimensions of 21.5 x 4.8 x 4.2 m
The author of the books "The Gods of the New Millennium" and "Path of Phoenix" Alan Elford inquired in specialists in the tolls of transes, is it possible to raise such a huddle. Those answered in the affirmative, but at the same time they added that it would be possible to move with the block only if you put a lifting crane on a tracked move and make a good way. So, such a technique was the builders of the founding of Baalbek?

Megalites, huge structures made of massive stone blocks, are found in our country. In Russia, there are quite a lot of such structures, only they are known not as the famous Stonehenge in the UK or Olitantambo in Peru. With the ancient megalithic facilities found in Russia, we will get to know further.

The first thing to start the journey is Mount Vottovaara - the highest point of West Karelian elevation - 417.3 m above sea level. Mountain area 6 square meters. km.
The place is simply full of strange artifacts after which you begin to think about ancient highly developed technologies on the stone processing, let's look at the photo.

Mount Vottovaara.
Scattered blocks Megalithites.

The near block of sleep at an angle of 90 degrees or the game of nature?

As if they spent the laser :) Geologists believe that cracks and faults were formed as a result of a strong earthquake about 9 thousand years ago. The same planes of stones are the result of the properties of the local breed - quartzite, the structure of which and sets such an even plane when split.

So nevertheless nature or guide? Let's look closer.

More like perfectly cut blocks tightly adjacent to each other. It is difficult to present an ancient ancestor with a copper chisel that somewhere on the mountain pulls out such smooth blocks.

Good angle, perfectly smooth wall.

Who lost the ball?)

Here, clearly without high technologies on the stone processing, there was no nature or yet the game of nature? :)

Mount Pidan.
At first glance, it looks like nothing noticeable bunch of stones of the cramped cliff.

But approaching closer becomes more like megalithic masonry.

Looking between the blocks, where the stones were less susceptible to the influence of erosion from the wind and the rain can be seen and how smooth faces are preserved.

In the place where the joints of the blocks went smoothly smooth sleep and the technology of laying these blocks opens.

Stone city in Perm Territory.
According to the scholar, the stone city is the mouth of the river, which in the Perm Sea millions of years ago, this is explained beautifully and smoothly, under right angles, sharpened stones, neat their masonry and perpendicular to each other "Dukes" "mouths".

Stone city.

See which smooth sides of Megaliths, as if Spinal.

Again, the old method look between the blocks inside the masonry, look at the far unit in the center, smooth slice along the entire length of the block.

They say somewhere on the Kola Peninsula there is this pool cut right in the rock.

In the south of Western Siberia in Mountain Shoria in the Mezhdrachensky district there is a small geological village called pebbles.
There are several educated talented geologists in this village. This is Alexander Bespalov, Vyacheslav Honotkin and others. These people were engaged in all their lives with research on the mountain systems of Western Siberia. Once they came across the mountains on strange megalithic facilities, which for themselves could not explain. These were walls laid out of gigantic stone blocks and strange buildings with vertically installed stone obelis. On the Internet, they contacted George Sidorov, so the first expedition was collected.

Mountain Shoria.
Some granite blocks below were folded from the red granite, their blocks made of granite gray, and above lay a polygonal laying from various blocks, both red granite and gray.

Granite in some places melted from the effects of huge temperatures and drowshes under the severity of the upper rows. Kungurov would say about this that these are traces of reflow from thermonuclear explosion :)

The wall is composed of polygonal masonry from multicolored blocks.

The size of the blocks is impressive, one of the versions, the find is a man-made structure of over 100 thousand years.

In the photo of George Sidorov, in his opinion, all this megalithic structure may be the ruins of an ancient power plant or energy-centrally, which translated seismic energy into some other.

Looking inside the masonry where the blocks were less susceptible to erosion, smooth straight faces are visible, see how two blocks lie tightly, a manoplability is better visible here.

Polygonal masonry.

Mountain Shoria. Huge blocks.
at the Department of Radio Physics, Tomsk State University demonstrated photographs on the screen, they talked about various types of masonry, about the stone castles that the giant granite blocks were fastened and a none scientist said that all this had a natural origin. Most of all they surprised how the ancient raise giant stone blocks on the height of more than 1000 meters and there to establish them on a special platform.

Then in the Tomsk branch of the RGO photos studied scientists geologists and geographers. And those and others came to the conclusion that the presented artifacts are man-made.

Sklyarov asked to comment on the find. And what did he say? That all the found artifacts are nothing more than those who crawled at the right corner of the rock. That nothing man is not here. Just a game of nature, no more.
After these words, I am not surprised why the LAI does not study Russian megalites.

Between blocks.

For comparison on the left megalite in Baalbek, on the right Megalith in a mountain shore, it seems the author one :)

Again between the blocks there is a better guide and straight lines.

Kabardino-Balkaria, Cave in the Baksan Gorge.
First you need to squeeze in a hole of 40 by 120 cm, then descend on the rope along a narrow vertical mine. It forms two parallel stone plates. After 9 meters - the first "knee": LAZ goes away and immediately breaks down. Already here you will cover absolute silence - no sound penetrates outside. Another 23 meters in the depth - and the new "knee". To achieve the bottom of the cave, you need to overcome more than 80 meters, and it will take it an hour. But, by passing the "Bottle of Gorry", you will find yourself in a huge room that researchers called "Flag". Inside, we will see the treated walls from tuff and granite, isolated from the broken, tightly fitted to each other incented megalites.

Descent to the cave.

Clearly seen the verge of blocks and seams between them.

Smooth masonry affects and the seams are clearly adjusted to each other.

Three-grinded blocks diverged a little.

Barely noticeable block seams on the left lunar wall and on the wall behind it.

how do you seams?

Turning the cave at an angle of 90 degrees. Two large megalithic bloc stand on each other.

Stone processing technologies are amazed, and even more affects the head of the head of the Kabardino-Balkarian geological and exploration expedition of the faith of Davidenko, but she realist and believes that everything has done the nature and made a conclusion: "The Tuf is a cluster of volcanic emission products - ash, scraps of the lava , volcanic glass and, to a small degree, fragments of breeds, cateracy staining walls. The emission material during accumulation was hot and therefore, during the frozen, the cracks were formed separately - that is, the entire touched array turned out to be as if broken into blocks. The deepening discovered in the village of Zayukovo village is one of these cracks of the gravitational separation, which is characterized by smooth surfaces of contact, "but this is the head of the geological exploration expedition, it is probably visible to it.

The scheme of the structure.

At the finale a little fiction) Araculsky Shikhan, a strange building in the middle of the forest. I have everything, kick :)


The origins of architecture take their beginning during the late Neolithic times. It was then that a stone was already used for the construction of monumental structures. But the appointment of the majority from the monuments that came to us is not known.

Megalithi(from Grech. - Large stone) - structures from huge stone blocks characteristic of late Neolithic. All megalites can be divided into two categories. The first includes the most ancient architectural structures of prehistoric (complementary) societies: mengirs, crumb, dolmen, temples of Malta,). They were used or not at all processed, or with minimal stones. Cultures, who left these monuments, are called megalithic. Megalithic culture also includes labyrinths (structures from small stones), and individual stones with petroglyphs (fellorings). Also, the megalithic architecture consider the facilities of more advanced societies (the tomb of Japanese emperors and Dolmen Korean nobility).

The second category is constructions of a more developed architecture. It is mainly the construction of very large stones, which is granted a geometrically correct form. Such a megalithic architecture is characteristic of early states, but constructed in later times. These are monuments of the Mediterranean-Egyptian pyramids, the construction of a Mycenaean civilization, a temple mountain in Jerusalem. In South America - some facilities in Tiwanako, Olitantambo, Saksayuaman. Tiwanako, Saksaiuaman, Olitantambo.

Menhir– This is usually a separate stone with traces of processing, sometimes somehow oriented or noting a certain direction.

Cromlech - These are circular stones, varying degrees of preservation and with different orientation. The term "Henge" is the same meaning. This term is customary to use in relation to the facilities of this type on the territory of Great Britain. Nevertheless, similar structures existed in the prehistoric era also on the territory of Germany (Goluning, the State Region) and in other countries.

Dolmen It is something like a stone house.

All of them are united by the name " megalithi"What is translated simply as" big stones ". For the most part, they, according to some scientists, served for burials or were associated with a funeral cult. There are other opinions. Apparently megalites - community structures with a socializing function. Their construction represented for primitive techniques the most complex task and required the unification of the large masses of people.

Göbekley Tepe, Turkey Complex in Armenian Highlands It is considered the most ancient of the largest megalithic structures (approximately X-IX millennium BC). At that time, people were still engaged in hunting and gathering, but someone was able to erect circles from huge steals with images of animals. The temple form resembles the concentric circles, which are about twenty. According to experts, the complex was in the seventh millennium BC. BCA is deliberately covered with sand, so more than nine thousand years, the temple was hidden by the Höbekley-Tepe hill, the height of which was almost fifteen meters, and the diameter is about three hundred meters.

Some megalithic structures were important ceremonial centers associated with the deformal cult. For example, complex of more than 3,000 stones in Karnaca (Brittany), France. Megalites are set up to four meters high, the rows go parallel to each other or diverge to the fan, in some places circles. The complex dates back to the V-IV millennium BC. The legends went to Brittany that the Great Merlin made the rank of Roman legionnaires.

Megaliths in Karnaca (Brittany) France

Other Megalithic complexes were used to determine the time of astronomical events, such as solstice and equinox. In the area of \u200b\u200bNabuta Playa in the Nubian desert ba megalithic structure was found that served for astronomical purposes. This archetoastronomic monument is 1000 years older than Stonehenge. The location of megaliths allows you to determine the day of the summer solstice. Archaeologists believe that people here lived seasonally when there was water in the lake, so they needed a calendar.

Costoonhenge.it is a construction of 82 five-time megalithites, 30 stone blocks, weighing 25 tons and 5 huge so-called trilites, stones whose weight reaches 50 tons. The folded stone blocks form arches, which served once a flawless pointer of the parties of the world.Scientists suggest that this monument was built in 3100 BC who lived in the British tribes in the British Islands to observe the Sun and Moon. Ancient monolith is not only a sunny and lunar calendar, as previously assumed, but also is an accurate model of the solar system in cross-section.

Stonehenge, United Kingdom, Salisbury.

A mathematical comparison of the parameters of various geometric shapes of Cromlekh made it possible to establish that they all represent the reflection of the parameters of the various planets of our system, and simulate their orbits of their rotation around the sun. But the most amazing thing that Stonehenge depicts the orbits of 12 planets of the solar system, although today it is believed that they are only 9. Astronomers have long ago put forward a hypothesis that there are two more planets for the external orbit of Pluton, and the asteroid belt, which is between orbits Mars and Jupiter, these are the remains of the existing twelfth planet of the solar system. How could ancient builders know about this?

There is another interesting version of the appointment of Stonehenge. Excavations of the trails, according to which ritual processions were walked in ancient times, confirm the hypothesis that Stonehenge was built along the relief of the glacial period, which found himself on the axis of the solstice. The place was special: an amazing natural landscape was located on the very axis of solstice, as if connecting the land and heaven.

Cromroh Broughar or Sun Temple , Orkney Islands. Initially had 60 elements, but now consists of 27 cliffs. Cromroych Brodgar Archaeologists dates 2500 - 2000 to AT. The locality where the Berodgar monument is located, -ritual, sacral, communicative. It is literally stupid by the mounds, group and individual burials, even the "Cathedral", as well as the housing and villages of Neolithic people. All these monuments are combined into a single complex protected by UNESCO. Currently, archaeological studies are conducted at the Orkney Islands.

Cromleh Broughar or Sun Temple, Orkney Islands

Dolmen.Scientists believe that approximate agedolmen 3-10 thousand years. The most famous dolmens are in Scandinavia, at the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of Europe and Africa, on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, in Kubanye, in India. However, most of them in the Caucasus are about 2.5 thousand! Here along the Black Sea coast (Megaliths are generally in the seas) you can meet the "classic" tiled dolmens, monolithic dolmens, entirely wounded in the rock, buttons of the combination of stone plates and blocks laid in two or more rows. They also say about the spiritual filling of these amazing structures, their energy charges.

Dolmen in the valley of the river Jean

Maltese temples They were built long before the Egyptian pyramids - in the Bronze Age. Their age has more than 5000 years. It is curious that all these structures were built without the use of iron tools. The scale of all megaliths is so amusing that the locals believed that they were built by giant giants. Until now, the question remains how the ancient people managed to fold such high buildings from huge stones up to 7 meters up to 7 meters and weighing up to 20 tons, not using a binder solution, if we recall that the temples were constructed before the invention of the wheel. Scientists have established that the culture of prehistoric Malta is largely related to Sicily, therefore, it is possible that Malta was the cult center of the peoples of the Sicilian Neolithic.

There is not a single temple that would come in pristine to the present day. It is believed that only four of all are preserved relatively intact - temples of Jagia, Hadzhar Quim, Mnife and Tarshin. Although they have suffered a sad fate of not quite reliable reconstruction.

Jagia temples in a bowl (Xaghra - "Giant") are located in the center of the Gozo Island and are one of the most important archaeological attractions of the world. According to today, the temples of Jagia were built in about 3600 BC.

The structure is two separate temples with different inputs, but the overall back wall. Each of the temples has a somewhat concave facade, which is equipped with a platform from large stone blocks. The most ancient temple of the complex consists of three semicircular rooms located in the form of a trillery.

Current scientists believe that such trocheus symbolizes the past, present and future or birth, life and death. By the common version, the temple complex was a sanctuary to worship the goddess of fertility. Such a conclusion help to make finds discovered during archaeological works. But there is another version according to which Jagantia is nothing but a tomb. People of the megalithic era really too much effort and time to comply with traditions. Honor of his ancestors, they were erected by the grand tomb, and later, these places were used as the sanctuations where they worshiped the gods.

About the appointment of megalithov, scientists argue no less than about who built them. But in this matter, in our days, there was still a single opinion. Megaliths, as researchers assume, had three main functions.

Single megaliths, mengirors, characteristic of the earliest period of this era, are believed to have some archaeologists, served as peculiar symbols that were distinguished against the background of the agricultural landscape, and may have been border signs in a growing lack of a lack suitable for arable land and pasture.

The most common European megalites are dolmen, or stone boxes, were tombs for rich leaders or entire communities. One of the earliest were simple tombs, consisting of vertically furnished slabs, overlapped with a horizontal plate. Access to such a grave was limited to a completely narrow passage, which overlapped with a stone or earth embankment. Even though the passage was often very low and narrow, it provided access to the grave for rites. More complex structures consisted of entire alley stones. Under long embankment there was a corridor with side stone chambers. Where the stone was missing, the chambers were built of wood.

Many of these collective stone assisters were used for decades, even centuries, and such a large cemetery, such as a bud in Western France, for more than 2 thousand years and contained the remains of hundreds of buried.

The most complex stone structures, alleys and crumbs, according to scientists, were a kind of astronomical observatory. These megalithic buildings were built collectively - whole genus and tribes, because their erection required a huge consumption of muscular strength.

The working force necessary to create even the smallest croslers and galleries was incomparable with the possibilities of a separate community. Rvov, transportation and installation of huge stones assumed cooperation between communities. The assessments of the human resources required for the construction of these monuments show an interesting progression: the most ancient megalites in Wessex, judging by the calculations of the researchers, demanded about 50 to 70 thousand people, while for later and large structures it was already necessary for about half a million people. And for the construction of STAKONHENJA in the third stage, 2 million was already required! The grandeur of such buildings and the enormous costs of their construction indicate the huge meaning of religion and ritual centers in the life of ancient Europeans. Although we are little known about the religious beliefs of Megalithov builders, it is undoubted that heavenly lights played an important role in them: the sun, the moon, stars. Observations for astronomical and seasonal phenomena of nature were the main functions of ancient observatories - ritual centers.

Chromeh NewGrending in Ireland is oriented so that sunlight enters the central chamber inside the stone circle on the day of the winter solstice in the middle of winter. For the day of summer solstice, Stonkhenge was focused. With the help of these structures, other astronomical phenomena can be recorded, in particular the location of the stars in the sky.

Megalithic tomb under the long mound in the West Kenneth. England

The ideas about the lifestyle and the worldview of the builders of Megaliths give hundreds of various carved drawings, which are covered by many megaliths. The earliest examples are simple axes and intersections, however, over time, more complex elements appear on them: spirals - symbols of the sun, wavy lines - symbols of water element. Scandinavia opened entire galleries of such "engravings". Here are the images of human figures, and scenes of hunting, and fantastic creatures. They indicate what complex the religious representations of the ancestors of Europeans were.

Old agricultural symbols of the Neolithic Epoch, especially the women's deity associated with abundance and land, gradually lost the place of male mythology, more consistent with the new order: wealth expressed in the number of livestock and metal, values \u200b\u200bcaptured in the war. The old myth about the goddess mother gave way to a new one. Circles, wheels, spirals and similar elements reflect the infinite movement associated with the fire, the sun and their opposite - water, the source of life. These elements have become the main objects of worship in Central and Western Europe.

Near the middle of the VI millennium BC. e. The construction of stone circles and galleries in Spain, Portugal, North-West France and in the British Islands stopped. Newly associated with the era of wars and enrichment come to replace the old cults. Earth and water become objects of worship. They are devoted to gifts - treasures buried to the ground or flooded in swamps and lakes. For replacing collective tombs - dolmen come other forms of gravestones. In Europe, the new era of warriors and heroes, the epoch of Kurgan, under which ordinary communists and noble leaders were buried.

Megalithi Valley River Wars

This small river flows in Ireland, in the Primorsky district, located north of Dublin. Several gravestone mounds were found in its valley, as well as separate stone blocks belonging to the so-called Culture of the Boyne. Apparently, in ancient times, this valley was considered a sacred place. The center of the entire local megalithic complex is definitely Newgrej.

Irish, discovered NewGrending at the very end of the XVII century, for a long time considered his tomb of Celtic kings.

Only then it was proved that this burial belongs to the IV millennium BC. e., i.e. it is older than Egyptian pyramids. In the list of World Heritage sites, NewGrending is characterized as the largest and most important of the megalithic constructions of Europe of the period.

Indeed, this is a huge dolman construction that has a length of 60-80 m and a height of 11 m, composed of 200 thousand tons of stones, and from above covered with earth and white quartz pebbles. The 18-meter corridor, isolated from stone slabs, leads from the entrance to the depth of the dollar. He hides the way to the trust chamber itself with a ritual bowl and three niches decorated with stone carvings. Over the entrance focused on the southeast, there is a hole - a window through which the sun rays can penetrate into the inner chamber, but only once a year - on the day of the winter solstice, and even then only 17 minutes. What is it connected with? Why is five people buried in Newgrejnge? How could the ancient people able to deliver such huge stone blocks here? There are no answers to these questions yet.

Ancient observatory?

Perhaps the most famous megalithic monument of Europe is a gigantic crude Stonkhenge (translated from Celtic name means "hanging stones"), not far from the city of Salisbury in South England. Stonkhenge became a favorite object of study not only for archaeologists, but also for astronomers. It is estimated that work on the revolution of Stonkhentha in total occupied a third of a million hours. It turned out that the rings of giant boulders served as a astronomical observatory. For 2 thousand years before Euclidea and Pythagora, Stonhenkha builders used their mathematical laws in practice.

This construction reached our days in the form of a horseshoe of five pairs of vertical sandstone stones, blocked from above with the same stone blocks (trilites). This horseshoe was surrounded by a ring of 30 stone monoliths weighing 25 tons and a height of 4.5 m. Inside it was a stone altar.

Stonkhentja stones clearly point to the sunrise and sunset at different times of the year. Obviously, this cult was the most closely associated with observations of cyclical changes in nature, the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars. Stonkhenge performed many functions. It was a monument embodied the energy power of the Earth. It was an astronomical observatory. And finally, it was a temple, built for people who prayed here and celebrated religious holidays.

Megalith in Avbury nearby Stenceland is also a giant crude. Modern researchers believe that the outer circle consisted of about 100 stone blocks and was obscured by a very wide mo. Together with two internal circles and leading to the monument, the expensive total number of stones reached 274. Stones are unwashed and not decorated with patterns. They believe that they are installed in about 2600 BC. e., although the cult rites were carried out here before. The secrets of the Stone Rings of Avbury also do not fully solve. It is possible that the ancient people in this place worshiped the sun and the moon.

Megalites are the most ancient construction consisting of blocks or single modules. The definition of megalith is not a clear nature and includes groups of various constructions. An example of this is such structures like Mengir, Cromlekh, Dolmen, Taula, Trilit, Seid, Cairn. And since most of the underwater surfaces of the oceans remain unexplored to this day, to argue that we know at least a small part about these buildings and their creators would be rampant. After all, it is in salt water that the construction of this type is preserved best. But the cost of such scientific research is exorbitant, because the archaeologists are forced to be content with ground research.

Purpose Megalithov

The widespread dissemination of megaliths in the paralysis territories. According to scientists, the purpose of megalithic structures is very diverse. So, in some areas, they served for burials, in others - to combine the capacious communities, thirdly ceremonial buildings, cultivated spirits of the dead, and they could also be used for astronomical purposes. However, there are no common paintings, scientists argue to this day and cannot come to one decision. At the moment there is more than a dozen contradictory theories, and they are equally and likely, and unreliable.

In Europe, megalites refer to a temporary segment from the third to the second millennium to our era. In England, the peculiarity is that megalithic buildings are dated by the Novocamean Age. The current analysis of scientists of husbands refute the previously existing attempts to tie Megaliths to a single major megalithic culture.

Megalites and folk legends

In many countries of the world, megaliths are made to legends, to be more accurate, then to a greater extent they narrate the beings that were engaged in these titanic labor. If you believe the Polynesians, the creatures were dwarfs, no more ninety centimeters. The emergency strength, overflowing them, helped them with just one glance to sang huge trees. They differed in extreme benevolence to human creatures and therefore helped them in energy-proof.

According to the megalithic construction of Meehuns, as they were called in Polynesia, built at night, as the sunlight was unbearable, and sometimes destroyed. A commonly spread folk folklore does not allow skeptically tuned scientists to fully refute the data of the speculation.
Therefore, this mystical origin of Megaliths remains the deepest secret ancestors. And more precisely, their legends, as there are no significant facts in folklore.

Classification of megalithov

The most simplest representative of Megalithov appears to archaeologists of various times Mengir. Mengir is an unavailable-processed post, wide at the base and tapering to the top.

Messengers are most often found, established by groups, in some areas they are exposed to whole alleys. Also to Mengram, it is customary to attribute crumb. Cromlenech's term fixed only in continental Europe. Cromlets in turn are structures, built up to the early Middle Ages.

The term characterizing this design occurred from Celtic adverb and removed Dolmen, because there are often archaeological communities in Russia, which creates some confusion in the wording. In the UK, not far from the town of Salisbury, there is the most popular for tourists and more than mysterious for crumb researchers called Stonehenge.

Mengirov's dimensions are also very diverse and can reach twenty meters in height with weight of about three hundred tons.

Mystery megalithov

Without more young megaliths, not only images, but also carved ornaments, are beginning to meet than they are distinguished from more ancient structures.
Almost until the XIX century, without having due opportunities for full-fledged research, it was assumed that the druids used these structures for sacrifices.

Today, the construction of a mystical nature is still abandoning the understanding of the modern man of the purpose of their installation. And it also remains to be guessing, as such bulky and heavy structures could be erected, given the fact that the more developed civilization, the more traces of its existence remain on the planet. And we are dealing with rare, although extremely interesting traces of the deceased civilization.
