Cyclopean Walls
Cyclopean Walls are massive stone structures built using large, irregularly shaped stones. These walls are often associated with ancient civilizations, particularly the Mycenaeans in Greece. The term "Cyclopean" comes from the mythological Cyclopes, who were said to have built these impressive fortifications due to their enormous size.
Typically, Cyclopean walls were constructed without the use of mortar, relying on the sheer weight and precision of the stones to hold them in place. They served as defensive barriers for cities and were often part of larger complexes, showcasing the engineering skills of their builders and the importance of fortification in ancient times.
