    Menorca was not inhabited much before about 2,000 BC, first living and burying their dead in caves, both natural and man-made. Then came the burial navetas of Menorca and naviform buildings of cyclopean stonework. Then came the building of the round talaiots, which were already old and abandoned before the taulas were built. The talaiots, some 300 of them, were built within a period of 300 years between 850 and 550 BC. There are no known human dwellings associated with the talaiotic culture, all the dwellings known as 'cercles' at various sites are post-talaiotic, in the era when the taulas were built. Anyone who has visited Sardinia will know that the nuraghi are much older and of a larger scale and belonged to a warrior culture. No weapons have been found at bronze age sites in Menorca, although we know Menorcans were prized for their skill at using the slingshot, hence the name Balearic given to this group of islands. There is a strong tendency for the Taula and its entrance to face south, possibly framing the view to the Southern Cross, the brightest star formation visible low in the sky in the south. This has now disappeared below the horizon at Menorca because of the precession of the equinoxes.

    Hugh and JJ, this is Andrew. You guys are great and have made an excellent use of the time this mass hysteria has given you. I really like the reedits on the videos. Very nice. I can't say as much as I used to because I want to preserve my Intellectual Property. Not for money or fame, but I do admit that I have not yet ascended beyond a feeling, that I might develop, of mild, but enough to disrupt my balance, resentment if I were to to let out all of my secrets. Poor me, right.... Anyway...You guys are on the path, I will say that for sure. It should lead you there if you guys can let it.
    I have not seen these features, on this video, before....this is key, I will tell you that. I have listened to some of the audio and believe you see it too. I also don't want to implant anything that would get fed back to me subconsciously. I would like to have you guys now evolve in your own pool. If I can find the patience to let our two pools remain separate, then we can compare the evolution of our thoughts over time? I may drop a good job or brief comment, from time to time...
    Follow the river north, I believe the river is fed by two principle watersheds. They were once one flow, the original stream. The confusing part is a third, downstream, tributary. The third tributary causes the flow of the river to eddy, cataract and become disorienting... This is the principle bottleneck to progress toward the sea....there are others but right now this is the main problem.
    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Hi, first of all this is a significant proof of the mesopotamian roots of Iberian people. The same but more simple form, 3 thousand yrs younger than Göbeklitepe.
    I am a Turkish guy living in Barcelona for last 2yrs. and i saw the pics. of Talati de Dalt at BCN archeology museum, since then i can not wait to see it as i have seen Göbeklitepe before.
    Just one question: the central biggest stones always face to the south at Göbeklitepe. Have you checked at Menorca? I have the pics showing the direction of the adam&eve stones

    I was born in Mallorca, it seems that it was also covered with hundreds of megalithic places, still is, but after so many cultures came in and used the stones for different purposes most of them have disappeared. I think that for sometime western mediterranean was one snd the same culture, from Malta to the balearic islands

    Later ancestors? Oops! Super interesting sites here, I came across one of these table stones while riding about on a rented motorbike in my teens, I wasn't particularly interested in ancient sites then but the place had a vibe that did strike me and the stone had a slight electrical charge feel when touched. Maybe time to go back after 30 years and visit the sites in this video. Thanks for posting.

    Here in Sweden we have standing stones all over the country, no body knows what they were used for... modernday archaeologists say they were old road marks, lol!

    Regarding the tower, as you were panning around you could see a round moutain-top in the distance. Maybe they were used as signal towers??
    Regarding the cave: Personally I think there were caves associated with many of the megalithic sites. I think you will also find entrance cover-stones to the structures that have holes in them, possibly for looking out while the entrance was covered. A lot of times these cover stones have been tossed aside apart from the structure, and not recognized as such.

    • @whoopjohn

      The problem with the lookout tower and signalling idea between towers is that at some sites there are three and at one site four talaiots grouped closely together, a huge redundant effort. Some have chambers inside, some don't. It is a mystery. Surely not for defence either - you could smoke someone out of there in about ten minutes if you lit a fire.

    The 'real' question is how all of these sparse pockets of humans, who travelled on foot, managed to populate the entire planet, and all built the same structures to the same design, drew the same things in the same style on cave walls, and managed to cross oceans. They developed their own languages, even though borders never existed, and worshipped a God of one sort or another. No civilisation developed without paying tribute to a God from above. These burial sites only hold around 30 bodies...which shows that there were very few people on the planet. So why did they build using huge rocks when there were caves to live in?

    Dolmens are shrines to Noah’s ark. Sculpted from flood sediment which later petrified. The ark is the prototype of every tomb, pyramid temple etc. ever built .

  • @orange70383
    @orange70383 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'd be nice to know what all this was really built for, we tend to really romanticize meanings into these sites. There are plenty of guesses but no one can be sure.

  • @deelee5664

    The basic dry stone walls with small constituent pieces indicate this is not megalithic.

      Nobody invests that much effort into a house. They may not be temples but are places of spirituality

  • @daniels4338

    I get the feeling you guys are wrong, and those taulas are really just roof supports. They serve no other functional purpose.

    • @theRhinsRanger
      @theRhinsRanger 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Daniel S that's exactly what I had theorised. It would make sense for them to support a wooden super structure

    • @retromaniac4563
      @retromaniac4563 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Daniel S yes they look out of place just like in many other places. Such effort to make those huge slabs of stone and with just "rubble" encircling them? I think they are older and reused for a different purpose than originally made for.

    • @theRhinsRanger
      @theRhinsRanger 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Retromaniac yup could well be!

    • @JohnProph
      @JohnProph 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      the problem with the "its only a roof support" idea, seems to be the tremendous amount of work needed to quarry and build with these huge stones. Add to that the various star alignments etc and it seems to be more than just some dude building a roof over his head. Couple that with the fact that similar structures are found around the world etc. Its like the underground chambers etc found in the USA. People try to call them "root cellars"....but what farmer is going to build a "root cellar" (without any door to keep out animals) with a 10 ton roof slab and build it all precisely aligned to the winter solstice?

    • @whoopjohn
      @whoopjohn 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A theory that occurs to most people, but not seriously held for long, all things taken into consideration. The shaped taula rather sits as a square peg in the round hole of its precinct. Why shape the taula like that if you want to support wooden beams? Many of stone 'cercles', the living spaces of these people, have a similar central pillar of stone, with a larger flattish and round stone cap on top. Then stone slabs radiate from sitting on this central pillar to the side walls. So they knew quite well that a rounded pillar served them best for a rounded building.

      @TheMcbird 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know it's dated as younger than Gobekli Tepe, but based on what? As far as I'm concerned all those sites dated to around 3000-3300 bce could be a lot older. As a matter of fact it doesn't make sense that they are so recent, only from an establishment perspective.

    You keep mentioning that these people took drugs, did things like sacrifice and murder people and worship who knows what. That's some bad energy if you ask me. Yeh the buildings are amazing, but the people who built them were messed up.
