Drenthe is a province of stunning beauty with sanddunes, woods, moors, picturesque villages, And prehistoric monuments.
It's the province with almost all of the Dolmens, situated in the north east of the Netherlands.
In a radius of 30 kilometers there are 52 dolmens scattered throughout the beautiful landscape.
These Dolmens are the 5400 year old granite skeletal remains of Megalithic monuments predating Skara Brae, Loughcrew, Bryn Celli Ddu, Wayland's Smithy and maybe even predating Newgrange.
To start; it’s very surprising to encounter these megalithic monuments with stones weighing up to 20 tonnes in such a flat and sandy country as the Netherlands.
Along the “Hondsrug” in the Northern Dutch provinces of Drenthe and Groningen lie 54 remains of passage graves.
The havelterberg is a part of this area. I think it’s funny to mention that Hondsrug is literally translated to; Dogs Back.
The Hondsrug was formed during the Penultimate Glacial Period, which began approximately 194,000 years ago, and ended around 135,000 years ago.
In the area of the Havelterberg the cover sand doesn’t cover everywhere as even as it has in other places.
Perhaps the wind had a different effect due to the existing landscape or the way the ice had moved.
Or perhaps there simply was less sand available.
But somehow this had formed dunes and ridges in the area.
And it is precisely these relief like parts of the landscape that later attracted the prehistoric settlers.
Amateur archaeologist Hendrik Voerman lived in the area of the havelterberg and in the 1930’s he made a couple of very interesting finds.
Among these finds was an encampment of reindeer hunters, set up around 12.000 BCE.
The Swifterbant culture was a sub-neolithic culture in the Netherlands dated between 5300 BCE and 3400 BCE.
The term sub-neolithic refers to people that were in contact with neolithic farmers,
but who remained attached to their traditional hunter-gatherer practices.
They did incorporate elements of the neolithic farmers into their lives, such as pottery.
The Dutch dolmens all stem from the Western group of the funnel beaker culture, which were the descendants of the Swifterbant culture.
They occupied the North European plain between Current Amsterdam in the Netherlands and Hamburg in Germany between 3400 and 2850 BCE.
We do need to remember that the stones that were used to build these dolmens are classified as glacial erratics
and the dolmens that we see today are simply the skeletal remains of what they once used to be.
Their magnitude can be quickly overlooked since their mounds have been destroyed.
In the Netherlands dolmens are known as “Hunebedden”, which means “Giants beds”.
There used to be between 80 and 100 dolmens in the Netherlands.
76 locations are known today, of those 53 are intact, 1 is severely damaged and 18 have been destroyed during the middle ages.
D53 is the second largest dolmen in the Netherlands, it was built between 3400 BCE and 3100 BCE.
The Dolmens of Havelte during the occupation by the Germans in WW2.
On the Orders of the Germans in the Second world war D53 was demolished for the construction of an airstrip that was part of a constructed airfield.
Professor Van Giffen made arrangements with the German air force to not actually destroy the stones of Dolmen D53.
As a result of his plea, the stones of the dolmen were then buried in a hole of 7 meters deep.
And D54 was buried under a layer of sand, so that it could not serve as a landmark for the allied forces.

I was stationed in North Germany 1977-1980 near Oldenburg while in the US Army. I wish I had known of these. I would have visited. I did visit Groningen and ate Gouda cheese in Gouda.
I find it interesting that Amber was discovered at the Dolmen in the Netherlands. My Mother was from Solingen, Germany. This is close to Wuppertal where Neanderthal were discovered to have lived. This area is also rich in Amber, and I have a few pieces given to me as gifts from that area. Also, Solingen and the Netherlands had a long standing trade between them due to the metal works and the need for mills to grind metals. Maybe this was one of the first trades along that route. Even the dialect of Solingen has many Dutch words infused into the "Solienger Platt." Fun to think about.
I loved watching this one, living in the Netherlands, but still never have seen the 'Hunebedden' with my own eyes. Thank you for making this vid! Keep them posted, I love watching them!
Thank you ❤️🥰 it was an amazing experience to touch the stones and stand in the same place as the builders did more than 5000 years ago 😍
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Toen ik jong was, heb ik vlakbij de Hunnebedden gekampeerd en we gingen er altijd op klimmen! Mijn oom heeft me toen veel geleerd over de Hunnen... (Veel ben ik vergeten, want ik was nog maar 7 jaar oud, maar ben wel altijd geinteresseerd gebleven in geschiedenis!)
ik zou zeggen, boek een leuke vakantie woning in de buurt van Emmen en ga er lekker op uit! ontelbaar veel bezienswaardigheden waaronder hunebedden! ;)
Forgot to tell you how great this vid is... But now I did!
Haha thank you! 🤗🤗
Now I see :) thanks for the video. I love the hunnebedden. I lived 20 years in the Netherlands, now I live in Malta. Is a pity that these ancestry is not more respected there, but it is how it is. Netherlands has a great past, mystic place. Groetjes :)
Really enjoy your attention to detail.
Thank you!🤗
I rememeber learning about the hunnebedden in school, but not about its people. So this was cool to learn :D
Fascinated.... Another excellent video Kayleigh. Feeling a connection to my homeland.
Thank you James! I found out that not many people know of the existence of the Dutch Dolmen so i loved covering it in this video 🤗
Would love to see anymore Dutch sites you ever choose to show! This was an excellent video 👍 😊
Leave your comments in the sea below!
@@visjesvanger doggerland is an excellent source of prehistoric human habitation. Great idea. 🤘😉
@@kariannecrysler640 yee great times before there was the idea of a north sea, when mammoths and sabertoothtigers roamed eindhoven :)
Loving your work!
Thank you so much!☺️🤗
The Neolithic dolmens or hunebeds were built by the Funnelbeaker culture. Great places to visit!
This is really interesting. I've seen chambered tombs etc in Britain and France but not these famous ones. So many of these monuments have been destroyed, it's nice that some survives. And someone knows something about them , thanks :)
🤗 they were amazing to see
Thank You for this Interesting Video.
We learned a Lot of New Facts
about the Hunebedden, Its History and People.🙂
lovely to see you out and about! World war history fascinating - lucky they survived!
Thankfully they didn't get demolished, we're lucky to have these Megaliths in our country🤗
aah, Kayleigh darlin'! sure 'n i had a wee stroll down memory lane, watchin' my Witte Wieven appear out o' thin air🤩👍
clicked on a vid about Dutch dolmens and this one came up! ssooo, i watched again. still very good, tho you've progressed quite nicely in your videography and style. amazing what can be done over time. 2 yrs? seems longer that i've been watching your channel!
hope you're getting well. looking forward to another great video😁
Excellent video. I've watched several of your videos and have enjoyed them all. Will continue to watch as long as you continue post. Thanks.
Aah thank you! That's incredibly kind of you to say, i will keep making them! 🤗
wonderful to see your presentation, and with you as well as with your voice!
Excellent, thank you for such an informative guide.
I particularly liked the inclusion of the folk stories of the 'wise women'. I wonder if this originated because of Shaman using the sites through the aeons, prior to Christianity.
Thank you! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! It was really fun to find out that the mythology I heard about as a small child was connected to these monuments. I never knew that before I researched for this video 🤗
Fascinating stuff ....hope to visit one day..
You're most welcome! We have enough dolmens for more than a few days if you take the time. And we have a Dolmen museum in Borger 🤗🤗
Excellent video, great and well researched information, thank you so much Kayleigh and looking forward to more, didn't knew that there are so many megalithic sites in the Netherlands.. wow!
Thank you so much!🤗 I knew that we had them but I never knew how many exactly. And these 54 sites are only from the stone age, we have some bronze age and iron age monuments as well🤭
Next up we have the Stonehenge Landscape 🤗🥰
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Ooohh that is huge.. especially with the new find from a couple of days ago.. happy research!
I was halfway writing the script when the news came out, so I'm taking extra time to make it perfect and film soon. It's very exciting!🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Indeed it is.. i feel your passion coming through the screen here!! We need people like you who got the skills for a well researched presentation.. wtg!
Thank you!🤗🥰
🤔🤔🤔 There is a trove of historical information still to be discovered. Keep doing the great job 👌👌👌
Thank you🤗
Well done Kayleigh!!!!david🇨🇦
Thank you so much! 🤗
Brilliant! Thank you.
Thank you!🤗
funny as in strange before i /we as a family left the Netherlands when i was 15
i only remember visiting the area ones on the way north we lived in almelo
strange what memories come back to you ! .. thanks kayleigh
You're welcome 🙂
Hallo Kayleigh,
Bedankt voor de uitnodiging om de video te bekijken. De hunebedden zijn geweldig. Ik zag veel verschillende sites toen ik daar woonde.
Het was geweldig je te ontmoeten in Mythical Ireland.
Graag gedaan! Heel gaaf om je te ontmoeten bij Anthony!
Stay safe! En groetjes🤗❤️
Loved this one!
If you go and visit the dolmen at Borger, do drop by the one at papelozekerk (papalfreechurch) near Schoonoord. It's still partly covered in soil. It's my favourite dolmen (yes a person can very well have one!), because you can feel the mysterious fibe from the passageway. It's name comes from the preaches held there in secret during the Spanish suppression.
Loved the bit when you told about the destruction and use of dolmen. Not because it happens obviously, but no one tells that part!!
Underneath the milking stable at the old farm of my grandparents was a Coverstone from a dolmen. Or 1/3rd of it. It was investigated by the local university, and given a number. Supposed to be G4, near the dolemen G1 (about 2 km). Located on the edge of the village Onnen. On maps from the late 18th century there is a hunebed show named 'steenbarg zuidveld' locals believe it was already partly demolished than. In later maps early 19th century, the dolmen isn't mentioned.
According to my grandfather, they (family and neighbours) went to the dolmen at night during a cold winter, drilled holes in it. Made a fire underneath so it would crack and than fill the cracks with water to freeze. I don't know about that part 😅 but the family farm was build in the early 1800's at zuidveld. And research was done a few times. The other family farm at Hooiveldssteeg (my surname is Hooiveld) also has lots of large stones and boulders in the wall and cellar so who knows?? I'm not proud of being descended from grave robbers but it does make a good story!
There's probably some more information about it. But this is all I know! Hope this ads a bit to your story Kayleigh!
I've been planning to visit Borger nut haven't been able to get the logistics in order haha. I don't have a driver's license and are dependant on someone driving me. I planned the trip a couple times already but every time something comes up. De Papeloze kerk staat ook hoog op m'n lijstje 😍
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Ik vind het helemaal niet erg om een keer naar Borger te rijden! Ben nog nooit in het museum geweest 😳
Ik kan je gratis taxichauffeur zijn, alleen woon ik wel in Groningen.
Niet erg handig, maar zou wel cool zijn om je zo te promoten en mee te werken aan je kanaal!
Hello from Denmark.
I actually don't know that much about archeology in the Netherlands, so this was very interesting. I know about Denmark, obviosly, and then I've seen a lot of british documentaries on youtube.
Have you heard about Lola from Lolland? 5700-Year-Old DNA was extracted from a lump of chewing gum (tar, really) and it was found that the person who chewed on it was a young woman who had duck and hazelnuts for dinner.
And yes, Lolland is a funny name for an island. Lol!
Nice seeing you in nature -I can well imagine a sand covered mound being easily destroyed by the north wind!
That's indeed something that would easily happen haha! It was amazing touching these stones🥰
@@HistoryWithKayleigh It was also nice seeing children out appreciating their history!
Thankfully a lot of parents take their kids to the monuments, this was my first time. I don't live close by 🤗
Thankiuu ! x
🥰🤗
Very interesting and well researched presentation. I lived in Scheveningen for a few years and made a trip to one of the Dolmens. I think it was in a forest and one of the big ones. Its a shame you don't name your dolmens after the local names in the associated myths and legends as that keeps the stories alive. Perhaps the stories have been forgotten or perhaps they are in an old forgotten book somewhere. Giants are often in the stories and the kids love that.
It is a real shame they such stupid names now 🙂
Fascinating. Never knew Holland had Dolmens. Any idea of their orientation? Or if they are aligned to stars or constellations?
These 2 are in an east-west orientation, with D54 more in a southeast-northwest Orientation.
The burial chamber of D53 faces west, and there are 2-3 constellations that could in theory be used for this west facing chamber. But there wasn't much information I could find, all the research has been done before 1920 and after that they haven't been looked at in a scientific way...
But there are a lot more Dolmens to visit and learn about 🤗
Strictly speaking, Holland does not have any. They are in the provinces of Drenthe and Groningen. The provinces of North and South Holland are in a different part of the Netherlands.
@@buccaneernl1 Strictly speaking the Netherlands didn't exist when they were constructed. ;)
I was more interested in their alignments at the time of construction and a possible archaeoastronomical relationship.
I know that most people still refer to Holland as the Netherlands, and I stopped correcting them a long long time ago🤣🤭
@@buccaneernl1 and Kayleigh
Duly noted and I do see the difference.
It's a bit like when people say 'England' when they're actually referring to Scotland.
Great work I watched and found a lot of interesting knowledge, btw I would love to see your approach to culture in Turkey.
Thank you! I have a couple Turkish sites on my lists 🤗
Interesting, thank you!
Kayleigh. I believe the Netherlands are your home country. My ancestry is Dutch. Very interesting and an area I would like to visit someday. Keep up the good work. Love this.
Thanks.
Nu hoor ik het pas. Spreek je goed Engels zeg! Bedankt voor de video!
Going through your vids, your research is amazing thank you!
Thank you so much! I try my best to give as much info as possible in a short as possible timeframe.
I just hope to keep improving as i go 🙂
Just keep doing what you do it's awesome, would be interesting to know how they transported these megalithic stones. Seems important to them to bring them from long distances. There is a man in Florida who was able to levitate large coral into position, you might have heard of the coral castle.
I have indeed heard of it, I've also covered another man from the States named Wally Wallington in my Stonehenge built by giants video.
I felt his theory and execution was quite amazing and could explain how.
The Dutch dolmen are for sure Glacial erratics, so they were already in the Area and didn't need to be moved for the long distances that the Sarsen stones of Stonehenge did 🙂🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Ok I'll look at that one, glad your part of this new era of researching our past like Jimmy of Bright Insight and Jahannah. Looking forward to your next vid and by the way when you mess up a bit please keep that in the editing. :)
I used to cut all my mistakes out, recently I've been keeping more of them in.
We can't be serious all the time 😂
good video
! keep it up
Fascinating film. but could you clarify something for me :- What is the difference between Dolmen and Hunebedden? As I know that we have Hunebedden near to Den Treek (province Utrecht) on the Utrechtse heuvelrug, but you didn't mention them.
Dolmen is the english translation of Hunebedden. I honestly had no idea Utrecht had Hunebedden, I've researched the hunebedden for over 5 weeks before filming and I never came across them. Are they maybe from the bronze age or iron age? Cause I strictly focus on the stone age structures, maybe that why? I honestly have no good answer 🙈🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh Thank you for the information, it is appreciated. mvg.
@@HistoryWithKayleigh If you are interested, the next time I cycle out that way I will take a grid reference of their location.
Yes please! I unfortunately don't live close by 🤗
Way cool history!! Thank you again. I still think how much effort went into moving these stones. Why?
Thank you! Must've been of great importance to them 🙂
Looks like it was fun to dance atop of these ancient stones. What stories they could tell too! Too bad they didn't keep visitors' logs for the past few thousand years. 🤔😏
very cool! I live in Alaska and there is not much to see in regards to structures like these. I want to go and see this.
You should for sure haha
Strange, we have also dolmens in Algeria.
Dolmens appear as far away as Korea. Pretty much all the Dolmens have stories of giants that built them. The Basque people of Spain and France (speak a language isolate) also say giants built the Dolmens.
great video as usual, lived in Holland for 6 yrs, never saw the Dolmens, so thanks, are you of Dutch heritage ?
I'm indeed Dutch, born and raised in the Netherlands. Lived here my whole life haha
I thought so for some reason. I am attracted to Dutch women. I am 100% Friesan Lived grew up in Holland Michigan. My ancestorsearch migrated in the 18 thirplease protestants. Leaving the catholics.
Ended up A colony in Holland Michigan.
Traveling To the Netherlands to research family histhree I delighted my Heritage and my attraction to the Dutch. I felt at home. Fell in love with a Dutch woman. My 2 children now Live in alkamar.
Great information. It's unfortunate that people, everywhere in the world, destroy history. Wonderful couple though.
Yeah i have to cut out the end photos from this one.
The dolmens were amazing tho
super weeral... ik ben half hollands, en trots op dat deel lol, dus prachtig om zulke dingen te mogen zien... ben je ooit al eens in Zutphen geweest? Historisch ook enorm interessant.
Ik ben er vroeger wel eens geweest maar toen was ik wel erg klein 😅
Ik zal er voor de grap als ik tijd heb eens naar kijken, ik ben gek op geschiedenis 🥰
Hi. Interesting subject that (maybe) could be repeated in a larger geo-timescale because these structures are all over Europe, I even saw them in the region of Novorossiysk (Russia, Black Sea) as well as Belgium, France and the U.K… I especially like to look at archaeological-historical ‘events’ in a more global perspective as connected to many different dynamic driving parameters. OK, thanks for the video and all the best.
as much as i love dollemensen i am still waiting for the dutch piramides to show up hidden from below the sands
Have you thought of making a video on the recent publication in nature highlighting genetic markers in the remains of newgrange?
I have indeed been thinking about that, most likely it will be a shorter one since I recently covered Newgrange. But I have started writing a script for it 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh that's great to hear. I just finished Anthony Murphy's commentary on it from @mythicalireland and this revalation has made him seriously reconsider his past work, which is refreshing to hear. If you don't follow him I highly recommend him.
I also watched your video on Sliabh ní cailach, spot on. Great to see people from all over drawing parallels between the ancient communities. So I think you for your time and effort! Geoff
Thank you! I follow Anthony Murphy on TH-cam, Facebook and Twitter, he has done amazing work!
And I feel like we all gasped for air when the publication came out 🤭🙈 it was a big revelation!
I saw you before Doggerlander!
Wat ben jij een leuke vrouw Kayleigh! Je hebt er een subscriber bij... (wel jammer dat alles in het Engels is, zodat mijn kinderen van 7 en 9 jaar het niet kunnen volgen ;-), maar snap het wel... Alles draait om geld en met Engelstalig commentaar bereik je meer mensen)
Groetjes uit Ter Apel!
Ik ben half Engels opgevoed en ik wil straks de wereld over reizen met mijn TH-cam dus Engels was voor mij de juiste keuze 🙂
Maakt het contact leggen met andere kanalen ook makkelijker 🤗
Wonder how these stones were collected and constructed in that time.
What gave those people the idea to do that? Must have costed a lot of time and work, while you are busy with surviving.
They were already neolithic farmers, there weren't predators living in this country besides the wolf and the stones were left as glacial erratics..
I'm sure they felt a strong desire to create a sacred place, the entrance of D53 face south towards the sun. Unlike other mounds where to entrances face either east or west.
@@HistoryWithKayleigh
For 1 Dolmen you need 100 to 150 strong man at least and several years to build one, with the technology they had. I estimate.
They must have had very good reasons.
My Grandma she's Dutch my grandpa he's Irish and when they come through Ellis Island they had to change their last name hearing United States they are called the Young
very good! you're out and about -well done in this pandemic climate! you need a drone!
The lions share of dolmens are in Korea but they seem to be dated at 700 BCE. That's quite a cultural quantum leap!
They are also in India and Russia.
Is this down to migration?
Ainu people perhaps? Kyushu(dolmen) is only a stone's throw away (no pun intended!) The Ainu may have been the first Samurai according to some anthropologists. Many early investigators proposed a Caucasian ancestry but this theory has been forgotten. There are also Ainu in eastern Russia.
To me it's the most logical conclusion. They have been nearly ethnically wiped out historically!
It's strange how much it has spread over all the continents in a couple thousand years.. I'm wondering who the first Dolmen made, or the first mound..
You mentioned the town where they used to live
My grandfather at 80 years old his hair was fire engine red
Had to watch this one again. It seems like I miss things the first time I watch your videos. Either looking to hard to hear or listening to hard to see, I guess. Thought I saw a wood nymph suddenly appear! Then I realized, it was Kayleigh! How do you do that, m'lady? Ha,ha. Seriously though, I did pick up some things I had missed earlier. Just as interesting the second time. 'Bye for now.
Hahaa thank you! I was being one of the Witte Wieven 😂 i do jam-pack my script with a lot of info 😂🤭
Have a great night!
@@HistoryWithKayleigh a wee bit o' luv to ye also lass! 'Night.
So I am Dutch and Irish an American Indian
I used to play there as a kid, are u dutch by any chance Kayleigh? ur accent sounds familiar!
I am indeed Dutch
👍
I've been listening to your accent.. what is your heritage ...
I'm Dutch, born and raised in the Netherlands 🤗
Did I miss it, did you tell us where the megalithic rocks originated from? I don’t live to far from Stone Mtn Georgia. (Thinking it’s the world’s largest outcropping of granite. If not the largest in the world, a top 5. They state in their overview of the mountain that if every human since the beginning of time all were given a one pound piece of the mountain, there wouldn’t be a significant change in the shape of said mountain) I look at all the megalithic sites around the world and the distance some of the giant pieces of granite and andesite were moved and shaped and wonder how. And then I look at Stone Mtn and nothing megalithic was built with it. You would think in the history of time there would’ve been a group or a ruler that would’ve said- “I got an idea. Let’s build something out of… I don’t know…. 20 to 80 ton granite. While we’re at it, let’s align to the summer and winter solstices. All the material we need is right there at the mountain. All we need are some chisels, some wedges and a few strong backs to move them into place.” But nothing was ever built out of the granite that would be considered megalithic. They say the mountain was inhabited, just not used for building purposes other than small pieces laying around.
The ancient past of what now is the United States and Canada is an enigma wrapped in an enigma. Or we had ancient ancestors who missed the classes on megalithic construction. But you go to Europe, Egypt, South America, the Middle East, even small islands in the Pacific and people were throwing granite around it was nothing. It’s like North America was the ugly, redheaded stepchild of some ancient megalithic building co-op.
North America should’ve been the Walmart of megalithic construction. We had everything.
The Stones used to build these Dolmens were glacial erratics
@@HistoryWithKayleigh big fan of erratics.
I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother. Sorry while you were going through this I was making jokes about megalithic rocks.
You and your family are of course in my thoughts and prayers.
That's okay, i am joking myself as well
@@HistoryWithKayleigh not only do I have a poor sense of humor, but poor timing as well. You’re just the best. Can’t wait for your American Tour.
Do you know of any similar but possibly more primitive in the shallow water that could have been built during the last ice age
hoezit hollander !!
Me and my brother did a DNA it's on a family tree that's how I know what town that they lived at over there

You are obviously a descendant of the Wise Women
Thats igigis house
Your such an interesting woman.
Omg l did not relies you have Dolmons in Neatherlands the lrish and British populations probily came from these peoples migrations.ln the west of lreland there is plants only growing that are found in Northern Spain and stone houses are built the same way somthing misterious happened that is lost to history.
The Netherlands and the British/Irish isles used to be connected through a landmass called Doggerland.
During the last ice age the people migrated using this land bridge, when the ice started to melt the landmass slowly disappeared under the water, leaving only Doggerbank left.
Doggerbank now is the highest point between the two landmasses.
It must've disappeared under water between 5000 and 10.000 years ago.
We find Mammoth remains in the North Sea bed and other Mesolithic artefacts on the coasts. And sometimes fishers that scrape the North Sea bed make Incredible finds as well 🤗
I'm proud of our Dolmens, always sad that no one knows about them 🤭
No too much more about
