Huge Mysterious Megaliths. Mysterious stones on Mountain Shoriya (Kemerov region, Russia) have puzzled both scientists and ordinary men.
The wall of rectangular stones piled up on top of each other is already being called the “Russian Stonehenge”. According to one of the stories, they were found back in ancient times. Though it aroused the interest of researchers in 1991, it was not explored then due to lack of financing. The research was just resumed in autumn 2013. The granite blocks impress with their dimensions. The walls are 40 meters high, and they stretch for almost 200 meters. Those who built them could have had technologies that we do not know of today.

Tourisme à Malte / Temples mégalithiques Malte, terre de civilisation Aussi loin que le prouve les vestiges, la présence humaine à Malte remonte approximativement à 5000 ans avant notre ère.
Au début du IVe millénaire avant J-C., et sur une période de 1500 ans, les habitants de Malte vont bâtir des temples de plus en plus colossaux: on parle d'architecture mégalithique. Les glaces du Pléistocène (L'épopée atlante) Qu'est-ce que le Pléistocène?
Le Pléistocène est l'époque géochronologique qui s'étend du début du Quaternaire, il y a environ 1,6 millions d'années à environ il y a 10.000 ans . Cette époque est caractérisée par une succession de changements climatiques brusques et de forte amplitude qui engendrèrent une alternance de périodes glaciaires et interglaciaires. On a évalué que la glace couvrait par moments jusqu'à 30 % de la superficie des continents. La dernière glaciation du Pléistocène, celle du Würm (pour l'Eurasie) ou du Wisconsinien (pour l'Amérique du nord) a duré d'il y a 100 000 ans à il y a 10 000 ans, et atteint son extension maximale il y a environ 18 000 ans, époque à laquelle de vastes régions des latitudes hautes et moyennes étaient recouvertes de glace. C'est cette dernière glaciation qui va retenir toute notre attention.
L'emprisonnement de l'eau de mer sous forme de glace a entraîné une phase de régression marine, c'est-à-dire un abaissement du niveau marin. Le climat. Dolmens of North Caucasus. Dolmen near the Zhane river Dolmens of North Caucasus (3,000 B.C.~2,000 B.C.)
Concentrations of megaliths, dolmens (Adyghe: исп-унэ) and stone labyrinths have been found (but little studied) throughout the Caucasus Mountains, including the Abkhazia. Most of them are represented by rectangular structures made of stone slabs or cut in rocks with holes in their facade. These dolmens cover the Western Caucasus on both sides of the mountain ridge, in an area of approximately 12.000 square kilometres of Russia and Abkhazia. The Caucasian dolmens represent a unique type of prehistoric architecture, built with precisely dressed large stone blocks.

Cavan In styling rude stone monuments giants’ graves, the peasantry made the very pardonable mistake of confusing great men with big men; for there is a common and very prevalent idea that bigness constitutes greatness, and in vulgar minds wonder is proportioned in regard to the size of the object under notice…The size of some of the Irish rude stone monuments first gave rise to the idea that giants were buried in them. It is not, however, always the greatest men, either mentally or physically, that have the largest monuments erected over them…The rude stone monuments alone are gigantic, not the bones they contain.
