Nederland - Anloo, hunebed D8

Nederland - Anloo, hunebed D8
Hunebedden (megalithic tombs) are the oldest monuments in the Netherlands. They were built more than 5.000 years ago in the last phase of the Stone Age by people of the Funnel Beaker Culture, who buried their dead in these hunebedden. The stones of which the dolmens are built are originating from Scandinavia. They were carried south by the advancing land ice during an ice age. When the ice melted, the stones that were carried along were left behind.

Hunebed D8 was built between 3400 and 3100 BC and is attributed to the Funnelbeaker culture. It is a fairly large portal tomb with four capstones, eight side stones and two keystones. The hunebed is almost 8 metres long and 4.4 metres wide. The oldest mention dates from 1711.

These stones are just magnificent...........and it's amazing to think just how long they've been there.

A beautiful trio of photos Jaap..........all captured in lovely light and wonderful detail. I like all three, but my favourite is the one in the first PiP.

Superb work my friend..!!
