Megaliths are large stones that were used to build structures in prehistoric times. The most common type of megalithic structure is a dolmen, which is a chamber made of two or more upright stones supporting a capstone. Other types of megalithic structures include stone circles, alignments, and cairns.<\/p>\n
The purpose of megaliths is a matter of debate among archaeologists. Some believe that they were used for burials and rituals, while others believe that they were used for astronomical observations, defense fortifications, or marking territorial boundaries.<\/p>\n
There is evidence to support all of these theories. For example, many megalithic structures have been found to contain human remains, and some have been found to be aligned with astronomical features such as the sun and moon.
