More than 5,000 years ago Europeans were building spectacular stone monuments. Many of these are still standing today, as mysterious relics of a long-gone society. These enermous stones are called megaliths (which literally means 'big stones'). Some were set up on their own, others in groups or in circles. Some megaliths marked the burial place of an important ruler, while others seem to have had a religious meaning. Tall single srones (menhirs), stone slab-tombs (dolmens) and the remains of large circles of stones and wooden posts (henges) are still standing today. Stonehenge is an example of remainders from the Megalithic era.
Fact file
Rock tombs, slab tombs (such as this dolmen) and stone circles and temples lie scattered across Europe. Many have been discovered on the island of Malta.
