  8. If you're interested in #prehistory , #neolithicheritage #megaliths , you will love to read this. It's a step by step reconstruction of how one of the biggest megalithic structure in Europe was built: the #Menga #Dolmen in Spain. It's an utterly fascinating read and an intriguing hypothesis on early forms of specialisation. With super neat graphics.

  10. Autumn, 2019, Knowth, Ireland I think of Knowth in the spring and fall especially because of the equinox alignments of the passage tomb there. I wonder if we will ever understand the meanings behind the rock art and if that will bring us closer to our common humanity with those builders and artists. #Ireland #Spring #Druidry #Knowth #megaliths #PassageTomb
