Neolithic Monuments
Neolithic monuments are structures built during the Neolithic period, which lasted from around 10,000 to 4,500 BCE. These monuments often served ceremonial or communal purposes and include types such as megaliths, dolmens, and henges. They are typically made from large stones and are found in various parts of the world, reflecting the social and spiritual practices of early agricultural societies.
One of the most famous examples of Neolithic monuments is Stonehenge in England, which consists of a circular arrangement of standing stones. These structures provide insight into the lives of Neolithic people, showcasing their architectural skills and their connection to the landscape and celestial events.
