"Dolmen? What is it?"- May ask those who have never heard such a name.Celtic word, means "stone table".Dolmen (photos demonstrate it) - structures made of treated stone slabs that were used in religious purposes.They, especially those that are built in the west of Europe, really resemble tables.Age such facilities exceeds the age of the pyramids.So, in those areas where they were built, people already at that time were at a relatively high level of development.Who doubts can conduct an experiment and build your own dolmen.What is it can not be done, it becomes immediately clear.After all, we must take a stone slab weighing five hundred kilos, polish it, and in the middle to make a perfectly smooth round hole.Note that all this must be done without modern tools, only your hands!Although, of course, we can not say exactly what technologies were known to the builders of these monuments of history.
first facilities of this type found in Brittany, one of the French provinces, they were studying.Find them in other places.In our country, we are known dolmens in Gelendzhik, Krasnodar Krai and Crimean dolmens.Their distinctive feature
- perfectly smooth circular hole made in one of the plates.So we decided that built them representatives of the people.Presumably people moved from east to west, because the quality and level of work at the Caucasian historical monuments are much higher than in Western European: hence, the construction technique perfected over time.
Many people think when they see the dolmen, "What is it? What is its practical purpose?"The assumption that the representatives of the ancient people just decided to leave a memory only for aesthetic motives, untenable.Too practical, our ancestors were.Hence, these buildings have concrete practical purpose.But what, truthfully say no one can.Version two: this religious building for sacrifices, perhaps - a space that transforms and generate the energy flow of the human body.Easier said dolmens were used for the healing of their ailments.
Some researchers claim that they were a sort of hospital for wounded soldiers.In this hard to believe, as engaged in building this massive structure in field conditions is impossible, unless we assume that its creators possessed some mysterious super-power technology.
What role does the dolmen is now?What is it with the point of view of modern man?Their location is quite popular among tourists.People are going to not only see and touch the history, but also with the secret hope that the dolmen can cure their illnesses, and even change the fate.Is it true, is hard to say.Some firmly believe in the magical properties of dolmens, others are skeptical grin.But one thing is for sure: it's ancient monuments, and visit their need to touch history and once again surprised the greatness of the human spirit that can move mountains, clean them and put on top of each other.Especially that dolmens are located in a fabulously beautiful place.
