The Camel Stones While Looking for the Necropolis of Elles I got lost and happened upon some megaliths. (To see details of my visit to Elles - http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Tunisia/Le-Kef/blog-782270.html) I found 3 different sites while driving down the wrong road: One looks like a pile of stones One is a single Standing stone next to the road The other is a set of 3 standing stones between the road and a farm. There is no town town nearby, so for now I am going to call them the 'Camel Stones' in honour of Tunisia's famous animal. There were many quarries in the area and while driving around I noticed many stones that could have been the remnants of megalithic structures left by our ancestors. This area definitely warrants a return o... read more

U.K Megalithic Tour - Documentary Film Making Project In this documentary we intend to show people the extent to the different types of megalithic sites in the U.K and give a clue into the large numbers that exist here in U.K. We spent 11 days driving round the U.K, reaching as far North as the Orkney Islands and as far south as Landsend. I would like to say a big thank you to 'The Megalithic Portal' - a very informative website which made this trip a lot easier to plan and research. The sites we visited are listed below in chronological order with details and observations about each site: Waylands Smithy Long Barrow Description - /b... read more

I spent 2 weeks in Visoko, the town at the base of one of the 5 pyramids that Dr. Sam Semir Osmanagich discovered in 2005. I was part of a volunteer program to excavate the pyramids and for details about my experience please click below. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Bosnia-and-Herzegovina/blog-736363.html I have also written A Report About The 2 Weeks and will happily e-mail you a copy if you contact me through this website. I went there to see what is there for myself and found the following things that make me think that Dr Sam's claims are true. They found tunnels that seem to lead to under the Sun Pyramid and have found megalithic blocks in the tunnels. The tunnels have healing properties, which myself and many others experienced over the 2 weeks. The hills are pyr... read more

I passed 3 dolmen and some standing stones while cycling from Edirne in Turkey towards the Black Sea in Bulgaria. There was one in the town of Lalapasa, one 2 kms North of town and another near Hacidanisment. Each dolmen had a small hole that looked like a doorway, which I haven't seen anywhere else, they were made from some seriously heavy stones and different numbers of them. Another country to add to the list of countries which have dolmen within their boundaries. The graves in Hacidanisment looked far older than any I have seen in the U.k and some of them are hundreds of years old.The whole area needs futher exploration as I felt like there was alot more to see, cycling through the countryside I kept thinking I was seeing megalithic structures everywhere. For ... read more

Gobekli Tepe is a fascinating site and only recently discovered. Along with the sphinx weathering it appears to be another significant piece of evidence suggesting human civilisation goes back further than modern academics think. The circles are officially 11,000 year old age, and are considered to be religious sanctuaries, which is a significant finding. They have uncovered 4 stone circles and radar scanning has shown that there are more to be excavated. The stones that they have uncovered have animals carved on to them and some of the carvings come out of the rock, almost like they were glued on to the side of standing stones. There are carvings of foxes, antelope and some animals that look like dinosaurs to me, there are also anthropomorphic standing stones with human arms, hands and even waist belts on ... read more
