180 tons! My god, those people were talented!

[@KowboyUSA]

Wow! Been a really long time! How can anyone look at sites like these scattered, and concentrated, across the entire Earth and not see we are not the "first" great builders to be here.

I know right, it boggles my mind for sure

If you haven't , you should come to India and see the dolmens of Hirebenakal near Gangawati, Koppal district, Karnataka. There are said to be some 400 dolmens of various sizes, on the top of a hill and also on the way up.

[@ModernExplorers]

Actually I was thinking of a trip next year, thank you for the tip

India has the most astonishing megalithic sites,Praveen Mohan has hundreds of explaining videos on yt about them

[@patrickbrett1552]

Superb blog. Thanks

[@TCCYM]

magnifique just awesome

[@billparr]

This does not look like grave. Thats what dolmen supposed to be I think. Also one in Korea the cap stone is 200t. It does not have room, its just dolmen like smaller stones on bottom capped with 200x one large stone, human supposed to be buried under the cap stone, Thats what dolmen supposed to be.

[@gsalien2292]

There is another aspect to these monoliths shared with other locations with similar structures around the world. If these stones were quarried and not just fashioned from standing stones, how did they manage to do the separating cut on the bottom of the stones? There wouldn't have been any natural device capable of supporting 100~200 tons while someone chiseled away underneath it?

[@ModernExplorers]

Great point - many thanks

[@AgieSebie]

maybe by breaking it or toppling it over and then making it smooth afterwards...?

[@wiretamer5710]

That is not how you quarry stone. Do your homework.

I was here 2 years ago, and found them to be amazing indeed. The standing stones didn't look like being there to support the massive stones on top. The archaeologist acknowledged they connected them to the ceiling with concrete. They used to be standing loose and able to vibrate.

[@melvynobrien6193]

You saw them vibrating, or are you just full of shit?

I personally think the well is probably modern. Why they placed a well inside a dolmen I don't know but I personally they added the well in modern times.

[@ModernExplorers]

You might very well be correct, again we are left guessing

[@jiggmin1234]

@@ModernExplorers Yes, that's why I love ancient sites. They are so mysterious with more questions than answers.

I think they are ancient fallout shelters. Cataclysmic reset comes regularly and the ancients were aware and prepared for it.

Pause de video @ 00:15 to observe mountain peak on the center left in full screen mode. Rotate your screen to the left or with the screen still, tilt your head to the right. Observe the same mountain peak and you shall find what appears to be the head and neck of a Native American Indian or a Woman. Thumbs up if you see the sleeping giant 😊

[@cynicalb]

what different type of stone is used? no info

[@prabhakarah.r.8873]

Some of these so called dolmens look more like caves-cave temples, cave shelters. How much of this is natural and how much is manmade is anyone's guess. It appears any structure with a stone slab for a roof is called a dolmen, and any structure with a huge stone is called a megalith. We have dolmens as small as 3 feet by 3 feet. In India there are huge beautiful temples carved out of hills, temples with gigantic stone slabs etc . These are one to two thousand years old with fairly well known history. It seems archeologists have left dolmens and megaliths for the common man to wonder at.

[@cugglymonster]

Turn the music down. Literally ruins the video

[@natalielambert4378]

I don't believe dolmens are stone but rather mud and wood that had been petrified/calcified by some great event/ Maybe the younger dryass impact hypothesis. If you look closely at the dolmens you can find signs of this, especially if you compare it to modern but primitive mud hut building. Prettification can happen quite quickly and these structures were buried in volcanic mud and ash and later uncovered by people who had some knowledge of where they are or perhaps some still evident above the ground level.

[@natalielambert4378]

As an example, look at the dolmen at 8:37. You can see the roof bows down slightly, these are the clues. Stone would not bow but mud and wood does. It bowed before it was petrified. Check out wise ups channel for more on this.

[@digitalninja85]

It seems those stones with complex shapes that fit perfectly with the other stones had to have been heated up somehow into a malleable consistency, then laid ,then shaped. I don't know how else you would get the next stone to fit so perfectly consistently. Because even the most experienced stone Mason ever could not chisel that many stones, that perfect, in one life time.

[@GabrielBacon]

When they're that tight together you can't even tell if they're separate rocks. Like it could just be carved to appear like it's made from individually moved rocks. The 12 sided one from the video seems like a magician gimmick

[@carolinemcgreal2382]

Thank you for sharing, great video. Could some of these big megaliths around the world been made by using a type of ancient cement technology using different types of ground up rocks, as well as other ancient high technology's we don't know about or fully understand yet ?

An ancient bunker no doubt whatsoever!

[@MISTERPRESIDENTELECT]

Dolmens are some kind of portals to another dimension. The niches you saw were probably used for insertion of special objects which activated the portal. Like Amaru Muru in Peru, which I visited. It is a well known story of a shaman escaping from the spanish, who used a golden disc to insert into the niche and with that activating the portal. The round hole is very interesting, you must have heard of Mel's hole?! Maybe they threw down their sacrifices in there; we put the good things IN so you wear the Dolmen GRIN(possible logo)

Absolute NONSENSE. Fucking grow up. There is no Santa Claus.

[@wiretamer5710]

Are you a stone mason? I assume not. There is nothing in these magalithic sites that cannot be understood in terms of masonary practice. Its no mystery how these things were built. The same skills are in use today: leavers and counter wieghts. Engineering problems are just engineering problems.

[@ModernExplorers]

Have you seen the drill holes in Peru and Chris Dunns work about the statues in Egypt. He is a very experienced engineer and I value his work. You should take a look

[@ModernExplorers]

And the size of some of these stones is crazy, 1200 tons are the largest - Baalbek and Aswan

[@melvynobrien6193]

@@ModernExplorers Don't be a fucking credulous idiot. These structures were built by human beings; just because we're not sure how they transported large stones doesn't suggest otherwise.
