Tomb / BurialEurope

Bronze Age megalithic chamber tomb on the island of Menorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. Roughly 14 m long, built of polygonal-fitted limestone blocks in the shape of an inverted boat hull. Conventionally dated 1200-750 BCE to the Talayotic culture. Archaic Lens documents architectural parallels to Göbekli Tepe T-pillar enclosures and to Easter Island ahu, suggesting connections that mainstream archaeology has not explored. The wider Menorcan landscape contains hundreds of Talayotic stone monuments forming one of Europe's densest megalithic complexes.

Look Closer — this site carries open questions: stones heavier than the period's tools could lift; polygonal, interlocking masonry.
