Time to wake up!! The Megalithic Mystery of Korea: The Dolmens

It's fair to say that the #Dolmens aren't out with the realms of possibility in terms of an #Ancient construction method, but how exactly they were done remains a #Mystery of history - How did they lift 70t.

Clea Lakes Crannog

This lake is right on my doorstep and I have flown over it before with some bewilderment at the complexity of its shores, so I decided to find out about the Clea Lakes and “crannogs” in Ireland.

Prof. Aidan O'Sullivan of UCD put it very well when he asked the following, “What – in the name of all that is good and holy – are they doing? What are they doing out on an island there? Why are they doing this? I still, in a sense, don’t really fully understand it. They were metres from dry land! They were literally a stone’s throw from the drumlin. They could have inhabited perfectly nice stable dry surface which didn’t require them to be continually building up the material around them and to be sinking up to their knees in the mud and the muck and the dirt… Why did they do this? Why did they go to such work?... I don’t know.”

For more information on the history of Clea Lakes and crannogs see what I found below.
