Spain's GIGANTIC Megaliths Defy Explanation | Megalithomania

An exploration of the massive Antequera Dolmens in Andalusia, Spain. The Viera Chamber (discovered by the Viera brothers in 1903) is the smaller one with a tiny chamber at the end. The Menga Dolmen, on the other hand, is gigantic, with an 180 ton block making up its roof. At the back of this giant dolmen, in the centre of the floor, is a 30m deep well perfectly carved from the bedrock and with water at its bottom. Thought to be built in from 3700 BC onwards, their origins are still unclear. The chambers look out on to "Lovers Rock" (Peña de los Enamorados), a recumbent simulacra of a face, the axis-mundi of the area. The El Romeral Dolmen is a few km away and has a corbeled roof and intricate stonework with a remarkable 'tholos' design. The massive megaliths making up the tomb are thought to be 2000 years younger than the nearby Menga Dolmen and Viera Dolmen. Hugh Newman also explores a possible site of an occupational mound that the builders may have lived upon, as well as the 'Lover's Rock' that dominates the landscape, and theorises about their importance.
