Nias Island Megaliths
MegalithicAsia
Monolithic stone tables, seats, and tall standing stones in traditional Nias villages in western Sumatra. Some pieces weigh over a ton. Pre-modern villagers transported and erected them using ritualized communal effort recorded in oral tradition.
Look Closer — this site carries open questions: stones heavier than the period's tools could lift; geometry beyond period explanation.
