Roche aux Fees - France 2007

Every of this 34 Rocks has a weight between 20 and 45 Tons, build around 3000-3500 BC, what a work with only Manpower!

Tumulus de Barnenez - France 2007

Build 4500BC and is one of the oldest megalithic Monuments on Earth!

The Kosbacher Altar is an rectangular stone setting from the Latène-century (5th-1st century BC), next to grave to the so-called grave mound 9, one of 13 grave hills in Mönau Forest.

The corners of almost 2 × 2 meters long “altar” were marked by four stones (now only 3). In the middle was a 63-cm-high stone pillar, this interpreted as a phallic stone, now it is located in the University collection of Erlangen.
