These Ancient Tumuli Unravel the Secrets of Neolithic Deathcare! | Tumuli of Bougon

[@TheHistoryHikers]

What was your favorite tumulus?

[@coraljackz]

Nice video! We've been filming neolithic dolmens around Wales and find them fascinating 💚

[@TheHistoryHikers]

Awesome. Though we're more Medieval oriented, we like to dip our feet in other historical places too and dolmen are indeed fascinating

[@relicsruins]

What a stunningly well preserved neolithic site. Thanks for taking us with you!

[@TheHistoryHikers]

Thanks for joining! ❤️

[@ryanstuhr]

Thank you Prehistory Hikers! Appreciate how you talk about the life (and death) of the people living in these structures, not just the structures. Cheers

[@TheHistoryHikers]

Thanks. That was probably what left the biggest impression on us when visiting.

[@MijnWolden]

Aaah, the neolithic houses! The glimpse of neolithic crafting tools! Just imagine the artisans!

[@TheHistoryHikers]

You should check the museum to learn even more about Neolithic crafting!

Holy crap. I am positively gobsmacked by those capstones, especially the first one. That blows my mind, completely and irrevocably. _90 tons?!?_ absolutely astonishing. Never underestimate what humans can do with a bit of time, manpower, motivation, and resources, i guess...

[@jeanmarc5303]

remarquable vidéo, commentaires clairs et pertinents . 😊

[@TheHistoryHikers]

Un grand merci!

[@Bizarreparade]

I enjoyed this. I would love to see more sites like these. They are similar to some sites here in Pennsylvania that have no explanation that I have been researching for a few years. Very interesting indeed

[@TheHistoryHikers]

Thanks for watching. We find the interesting and peculiar constructions too and hope to visit more in the future!

[@OrcaFPV]

That's something different than castles 🖖

[@TheHistoryHikers]

Once in a while we need to switch it up a bit 😅

[@alexisleon23]

Very informative 👏. Please visit in Mycenae the burial site of ATREUS (it is a tomb). Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷.

[@TheHistoryHikers]

Should we make it to Greece (which we certainly plan to do) we'll try and give it a visit!

[@johnwilson5637]

Good to see well preserved tumuli. But how can anyone say these tumuli are older than the Pyramids when nobody knows (or is prepared to admit) how old the Pyramids really are?

[@TheHistoryHikers]

That is a good question I suppose. We just went with the dates that are most commonly used

[@robertstaas9314]

You should compare these with Newgrange in Ireland.

[@TheHistoryHikers]

We wouldn't mind going to Ireland... 👍

[@markclemens3409]

Arbitrary tumulus/i score of 8.5.

[@TheHistoryHikers]

Sounds about right!

[@YTC9]

Cremation is overrated.

[@TheHistoryHikers]

Agreed
