On one occasion I read on the internet that there was a land in Portugal called "Mora" that was unique in Europe for its large number of dolmens, in reality it is the region with the most dolmens in Portugal and we could even mention Europe as well, my curiosity made me travel more than 120km to visit the museum where we will learn everything related to megalithism, here we will see what the prehistoric man of Portugal was like more than 3 thousand years ago, and we will even show you real dolmens that are more than 4 thousand years old! Enjoy my experience at the museum.👩🏻🏫🌎

All about the museum🧭 / Todo sobre el museo🌍🚩
To locate the museum we will have to look for the following coordinates: (38.946912, -8.161084), getting there is relatively easy as it has public access, the only thing I recommend is that you must travel in your own or rented vehicle. This area has quite little public transportation, especially The Lei Museum, which was inaugurated in April 2016, the mission is to promote and promote the megalithic archeology heritage of the city of Mora, as well as learn about the culture and history of its people! It is in the center of the city and is a space for all ages.🌎🧠

A very creative design🧭 / Un diseno muy creativo🌍🚩
Everything inside the museum has a purpose and transmits knowledge. The unique way it was built shows a series of levels with wood that literally recreates the ground where an object is extracted, that is, with the levels of the wood we get an idea of how deep it goes. I dig to get to the object that is on display. Interesting, right? This helps us date the date to which the archaeological object belonged. It is 750 meters long and has some interactive educational areas for adults and children! The cost is 5 euros per adult.🧠🌎
Todo dentro del museo tiene un proposito y transmite un conocimiento la forma unica de como se construyo muestra una serie de niveles con madera que literal recrea el suelo donde un objeto es extraido, osea con los niveles de las maderas hacemos una idea de cuan profundo se excavo para llegar hasta el objeto que esta en exhibicion interesante no? esto nos ayuda a datar la fecha a la cual pertenecia el objeto arqueologico. Cuenta con 750 metros y tiene algunas areas interactivas didacticas para adultos y ninos! el costo son 5euros por adulto.🚙🚩

Megalithism🧭 / Megalitismo🌍🚩
Vergilio Correia was the pioneer in catapulting megalithic archeology in the "Mora" area. In reality, the "Alentejo" region is synonymous with dolmens, stone tombs in others! I mean if we visit this city and its surroundings we will be able to visit a dolmen from the third or fourth millennium BC, and that is my intention, in addition to visiting the museum I will take you to a real Dolmen, in 1921 Mr. Virgilio begins with archaeological research in the area.🌎🚙
Vergilio Correia fue el pionero en catapultar la arqueologia megalitica en la zona de "Mora" en realidad la region de "Alentejo" es sinonimo de dolmenes, tumbas de piedra en otras! osea si visitamos esta ciudad y sus alrededores vamos a poder visitar un dolmen del tercer o cuarto milenio antes de Cristo, y esa es mi intencion ademas de visitar el museo te llevare a un Dolmen verdadero, en 1921 es que el Sr. Virgilio comienza con la investigacion arqueologica en la zona. 👩🏻🏫🧭
This image is one of my favorites, this is what human beings looked like in the prehistoric era when the dolmens were built. We are talking about how several tribes arrived in the Iberian Peninsula between the 4th and 3rd century BC. They settled throughout Portugal and built these structures. as a way to practice a funeral ritual! The definition of a dolmen is a megalithic structure built with horizontal and vertical stones, they are available in various shapes depending on the tribe and the meaning! But few know that a dolmen was not only used for burial purposes but also to worship gods such as (earth, fertility among others) and you won't believe me but in these that are exhibited in the museum they already got objects that represent gods!🌎🧠
Esta imagen es de mis favoritas, asi lucia el ser humano en la era prehistorica cuando se construyeron los dolmen, estamos hablando que varias tribus llegaron a la peninsula iberica entre el 4-3 siglo antes de cristo se establecieron en todo portugal y construyeron estas estructuras como forma de practicar un ritual funebre! la definicion de dolmen es una estructura megalitica construida con piedras horizontales y verticales, se disponen de varias formas segun la tribu y el significado! pero pocos saben un dolmen no solo se utilizaba para fines de entierro si no tambien para adorar dioses como (tierra, fertilidad entre otros) y no me creeras pero en estos que se exhiben en el museo ya consiguieron objetos que representan dioses!👩🏻🏫

How did they move these tons of stones?🧭 / Como movian estas piedras de toneladas?🌍🚩
construction demonstration🧔🏻♂️
The museum has a representation of how these men weighing only 70-80kg could transport granite rocks that weighed tons. Before technology advanced, human beings attributed this to "aliens" but little by little they managed to decipher this mystery, as you can see. One person was placing logs while others were pulling the rope to the direction where it would be placed. To lift them, a wooden log or several logs were placed below and used as a pulley.🧭🌏👩🏫
El museo tiene una representacion de como estos hombres de apenas 70-80kg podian transportar rocas de granito que pesaban toneladas, antes de la tecnologia avanzar el ser humano atribuia esto a "alienigenas" pero poco a poco se logro descifrar este misterio, como puedes ver una persona iba colocando troncos mientras otros iban halando la cuerda a la direccion donde se colocaria. Para levantarlos se colocaba un tronco de madera abajo o varios troncos que se usaba como polea.🧔🏻♂️🕵🏻

Deities and funerary objects🧭 / Deidades y objetos funebres🌍🚩
These objects hand-carved in "xist" stone, a granite-type rock, their function was to give tribute and homage to an important person such as the chief of the tribe. They were usually placed either on the chest or in the hands of people when They were buried beneath the dolmen.🧔🏻♂️🧠
