In the village of Nughedu Santa Vittoria, #Sardinia are some Domus de Janas - survivors of a larger necropolis. This tomb preserves peculiar architectural and decorative elements, like a bull's head relief on a pillar (or some say upside-down anthropomorphic figure). #TombTuesday More...

Maybe it’s the false crest, looking like a traditional UFO?, or the great bike ride by, but something keeps drawing back to Clury Cairn #TombTuesday … a few more pics on @megalithic here https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=7427

A mound at Yeni Turcan, Azerbaijan, with two statues. Very unusual burial excavated as a quarry rescue dig. The statues appear to be male & female, broken. It is plausible they were ceremonially 'killed' when an old, perhaps polytheistic religion gave way to a new one. #TombTuesday More...

A pleasant dolmen towering high in a field. The capstone is sitting on three support stones (orthostats). There must have been some sort of passage that has gone missing. In a field of crops about 200 metres from the road, but with a signpost. #TombTuesday #France More...
