they probably didn't have it that bad if they had time to make such useless bullshit for dead people

It didn’t take for that long, it’s not like they built pyramids

still takes lots of energy that no one would waste if they didn't have a clear surplus of it

wish these megalithic builders were still around

>still takes lots of energy
This menhir weights 300 tons and comes from a quarry 15 km away, they had MANY energy to waste.

>this is what northmen did while romans were building empires

We have many rock cut tombs such as this one from the Neolithic, but also some passage graves dating to the same period

Or their religion/that person is that important that they would make the effort to honour someone like this

farmers even now don't work much, well they work hard but for short periods
they basically circle jerk every winter

Impressive. Which culture was that ?

Ozieri culture, this is another chamber from the same tomb

I thought nordic countries were too cold for sneks

>ancient aliens theory intensifies
That's really cool.

>effort
Even with modern means it would be an achievement, so yes they must have been really dedicated.

neolithic passage grave

A stone house would be too luxurious for him

I think most of the neolithic buildings in Europe are located in Scotland. I've never known why since Scotland has a poor climate. It's even weird how the most advanced culture in Europe during this time was on Orkney.

Underrated

>the most advanced culture in Europe during this time was on Orkney.
It not the most advanced, it's just the most preserved for obvious reasons.

No, we have a few and only one with venom. Google "huggorm".

>In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr (Old Norse: Jǫrmungandr, pronounced [ˈjɔrmunˌɡandr̥], meaning "huge >monster"[1]), also known as the Midgard (World) Serpent (Old Norse: Miðgarðsormr), is a sea serpent, the >middle child of the giantess Angrboða and Loki. According to the Prose Edda, Odin took Loki's three children by >Angrboða—the wolf Fenrir, Hel, and Jörmungandr—and tossed Jörmungandr into the great ocean that encircles >Midgard.[2] The serpent grew so large that it was able to surround the earth and grasp its own tail.[2] As a result, >it received the name of the Midgard Serpent or World Serpent. When it releases its tail, Ragnarök will begin.

>7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

>8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

>9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

>10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

wtf, too many coincidences

Original entrance before it was renovated

during summer and winter solstice, the sun aligns perfectly to shine directly into the main burial chamber.

They're generally isolated and so probably not as fucked with. I'm guessing the areas that they're in are shit for agriculture so faced few invasions, had sparse population density and saw very few christian missionaries early on (at least back when priests would smash anything vaguely pagan rather than Romanticize it.
