WHAT IS A DOLMEN??🧠🕵️♂️ / QUE ES UN DOLMEN??💀🧭
I have to admit that before visiting and studying this historic site I had no idea of the meaning of these structures that we can find in many parts of the world, there are probably some in your country, but do you really know why they were built? which represent?? what era are they from? You already know me as I am addicted to science, I always want to know the answer to everything that generates some curiosity in me! then get ready because in my little post we will learn about dolmens!😮😮
Tengo que reconocer que antes de visitar y estudiar este sitio historico no tenia idea del significado de estas estructuras que podemos encontrarlas en muchas partes del mundo, probablemente hay algunas en tu pais, pero realmente sabes porque fueron construidas?? que representan?? de que epocas son?? ya me conoces como soy adicto a la ciencia quiero siempre saber la respuesta de todo lo que me genera cierta curiosidad! entonces preparate porque en mi pequeño post aprenderemos sobre los dolmen!👨🏫👨🎓
WHAT IS A DOLMEN??🕵️♀️👨🎓 / QUE ES UN DOLMEN??🙇♂️🏛
While I was on vacation I talked with my wife and we passed by this historic site called "dolmen cunha baixa" it is about 300km from my house, so we played "who guesses" we both tried to guess what these stones were and what they were used for, never in my life had visited one! We decided to park the vehicle and visit the place in order to find answers! The only information I knew at the time was: "very old structures", many scientific references define a dolmen as a large "monolithic" structure, that is, a shelter built with stones or slabs that had a particularity? You know which one is??? they were buried vertically and horizontally!🤔🤔😐
Mientras realizaba mis vacaciones conversaba con mi esposa y pasamos por este sitio historico llamado "dolmen cunha baixa" esta a unos 300km de mi casa, entonces jugamos a "quien adivina" ambos trabamos de adivinar que eran estas piedras y para que servian, nunca en mi vida habia visitado una! decidimos estacionar el vehiculo y visitar el lugar con el fin de buscar respuestas! la unica informacion que sabia en el momento era: "estructuras muy antiguas", muchas referencias cientificas definen un dolmen como una gran estructura "monolitica" osea un refugio construido con piedras o losas que tenian una particularidad?? sabes cual es??? eran enterrados de forma vertical y horizontal!🤯🤯
I have to admit that I was expecting a structure that was millions of years old, but according to research and carbon measurements,14 the dolmens date back to when humanity began to settle in small towns and learned to practice agriculture and grazing. that are approximately 5000 years old, okay then we already defined what a dolmen is now we are going to investigate a little and see what they were built for!🤔🤔🤩
Tengo que reconocer que me esperaba una estructura con millones de años de antiguedad, pero segun investigaciones y mediciones de carbono,14 los dolmenes son de origenes cuando la humanidad comienza a asentarse en pequeños poblados y aprende a practicar la agricultura y el pastoreo osea se piensa que tienen aproximadamente unos 5000 años de antiguedad, vale entonces ya definimos lo que es un dolmen ahora vamos a investigar un poco y ver para que eran construidos!👳♀️👳♂️🧔🧔👩🦰
WHY WERE THEY BUILT??🕵️♀️👨🎓 / POR QUE SE CONSTRUIAN??🙇♂️🏛
I read that there are some theories as to why these stone structures were built, but the most accepted is that they served as tombs, when a dolmen was discovered, excavations were immediately carried out and guess what was discovered? Bone remains of people, and not just a body!! They were massive burials, it is not only believed that they were built in the Neolithic, there are also dolmens that were built in the Chalcolithic, the continents where dolmens were found are: Asia, Africa and Europe! the largest concentration of these beautiful graves are found in the entire Atlantic fringe! and it makes sense why there are dozens of them in Portugal!👨🎓👨🏫
lei que hay algunas teorias de para que se construian estas estructuras de piedras, pero la mas aceptada es que sirvieron como sepulturas, cuando se descubria un dolmen inmediatamente se realizaban excavaciones y adivinen que era lo que se descubria?? restos oseos de personas, y no solo un cuerpo!! eran entierros masivos, no solo se cree que fueron construidas en el neolitico tambien hay dolmenes que construidos en el Calcolítico los continentes donde fueron encontrados dolmenes es: asia, africa y europa! la mayor concentracion de estas hermosas sepulturas se encuentran en toda la franja atlantica! y tiene sentido el porque hay decenas de ellas en Portugal!🌍🌎🧭
A WORK OF ENGINEERING??🕵️♀️👨🎓 / UNA OBRA DE INGENIERIA??🙇♂️🏛
Perhaps for us these structures are simple and easy to do, because we simply use some machinery in hours we finish the job! but 5,000 years ago there was no heavy machinery for construction and if we compare the effort that was made here then it is definitely a feat created by humanity, many men were required to carry out the work! It was a job that required months to finish. Imagine that a stone could weigh more than 100 tons! A whale weighs 130 tons...🦾🧠
Quizas para nosotros estas estructuras son simples y faciles de hacer, porque simplemente usamos algunas maquinarias en horas terminamos el trabajo! pero hace 5mil años no habia maquinaria pesada para la construccion y si comparamos el esfuerzo que se hacia aqui entonces definitivamente es una azaña creada por la humanidad, se requerian muchisimos hombres para realizar el trabajo! era un trabajo que requeria meses para terminarlo imagina que una piedra podia pesar mas de 100 toneladas! una ballena pesa 130 toneladas...🗼🗼
HOW THEY WERE BUILT??🕵️♀️👨🎓 / COMO SE CONSTRUYEN??🙇♂️🏛
As I mentioned, it seems easy... But it is not. Building these dolmens was quite difficult, well first of all this dolmen is more than 6000 years old, that is, it is older than previously thought, communities dedicated to grazing, fishing and planting lived here; In the excavations, remains of weapons (bows and arrows) made of wood were obtained, apart from other wooden utensils! the trunks functioned as pulleys and as a means of transporting the stones! this dolmen is not so basic since it has divisions such as (a corridor) a (main chamber) even an atrium!😏😃
Como te mencione parece facil... Pero no lo es construir estos dolmenes era bastante dificil, bien primeramente este dolmen tiene mas de 6000 años osea es mas antiguo de lo que se pensaba, aqui habitaban comunidades dedicadas al pastoreo, pesca y siembra; en las excavaciones se consiguieron restos de armas (arcos, y flechas) construidas de madera, aparte de otros utensilios de madera! los troncos funcionaban como poleas y como medio de transporte de las piedras! este dolmen no es tan basico ya que tiene divisiones como por ejemplo (un corredor) una (camara principal) hasta un atrio!🤯🤯
Firstly, the stones were moved and positioned with the trunks, previously large excavations were carried out to position the stones that would be buried vertically, then with a pulley-shaped trunk the stone was raised, previously "cement" was not used to bury the stones. stones what was done was that the space was filled with smaller stones! sadly the phenomenon of erosion wreaks havoc on these structures that is why many of those we see are restored!😍😍
Primeramente se movian y posicionaban las piedras con los troncos, anteriormente se realizaban grandes excavaciones para posicionar las piedras que serian enterradas de forma vertical, luego con un tronco en forma de polea se elevaba la piedra, anteriormente no se usaba "cemento" para enterrar las piedras lo que se hacia era que se rellenaba el espacio con piedras mas pequeñas! tristemente el fenomeno de erosion causa estragos en estas estructuras por eso muchos de los que vemos son restaurados!😮🤯
MOTIVATION??🕵️♀️👨🎓 / MOTIVACION??🙇♂️🏛
What motivates these funerary structures is the belief of society that there was life after death, the question is anyone could be buried in the dolmens? no!!! According to studies, only the elite of the communities could be buried in the dolmens!🤴👸
Lo que motivo a realizar estas estructuras funerarias es la creencia de la sociedad en que existia vida despues de la muerte, la pregunta es cualquier persona podia ser enterrada en los dolmenes? no!!! segun estudios solo la elite de las comunidades podian posser entierro en los dolmenes!💖💥
Not all dolmens were the same, there were different types of dolmen! some were very basic with 2 vertical stones and one horizontal, and it was created as a fence with other vertical stones around it! if a dolmen had a corridor then it was more complex and was identified as a "corridor tomb" then there are even more complex dolmens with galleries and divisions where the main corridor cannot be differentiated! I presume this one here is a second category dolmen! and well with this I say goodbye I hope you have learned something new!😃😃
No todos los dolmenes eran iguales, habian diferentes tipos de dolmen! algunos eran muy basicos con 2 piedras verticales y uno horizontal, y se creaba como un cercado con otras piedras verticales a sus alrededores! si un dolmen tenia un corredor entonces era mas complejo y se identificaba como "tumba corredor" luego hay dolmenes aun mas complejos con galerias y divisiones donde no se puede diferenciar el corredor principal! este de aqui presumo que es un dolmen de segunda categoria! y bueno con esto me despido espero hayas aprendido algo nuevo!😏😏

Coming across it for the first time. This is quite educating. Thanks for adding to my knowledge
Thanks for the valuable information 🙂👍 This structure will be thousands more years, Love the place and you present very well.
I didn't know dolmen could be found elsewhere than in the northern part of Europe. Thanks a lot for this share (including the nice illustrative pictures)!
