Always watch these thinking I bet if who ever is was around at that time is looking down shaking there head like wrong. Wrong. No that's not what we built it for 🤦♂️. 😂

"...bits of dead people." I love British people!
-
I’m loving the community comments here. A lot of interesting takes on what it could be for. But no doubt it’s amazing that the structure is still standing. Our ancestors were smarter than they get credit for

What was too big to get in that hallway 5000 years ago?
-
The ammount of time, energy, and resources dedicated by a group of hunter gatherers is astounding.
-
"It's held together by gravity." Brilliant.
-
I cannot believe that this tomb was built more than 5000 years ago. Even the Pentateuch was not written yet at that time.
-
Very interesting, but one has to pause when you realize how much of our "history" is opined into existence by experts.

0:20 gotta love the sneaky little viking that made runes in there... Shame i cant see the whole inscription... "...-IhahÞina" is all i can see :c
-
Amazing that these structures are still around today.
-
Maybe they think these were tombs because peoples in later years repurposed them as tombs. They may have had an entirely different purpose by the original builders.

I am watching continuously.. from india 💡
-
This is mind boggling. Am stunned
-
The speculation that the small chamber way entrance was to help the person entering to have an "experiential transformation" is somewhat hogwashery. I wouldn't read anything into that entrance way other than the size of the people and building material constraints on the island dictated the dimensions entirely.

Amazing!
-
Could be .. maybe.. could be.. maybe.. could be.. maybe.. try: a nuclear shelter, lol
-
It's a house. The residents buried their dead inside to keep them close. Many older societies did this. That's my story and I'm sticking to it
