Dolmen 2 Mankmoos
Dolmen 2 Mankmoos

This grave describes Prof. Dr. Ewald Schuldt as a two jochen dolmen (from the Celtic "stone table"). One finds a completely destroyed plant. On the not complete capstone are 167 cm up to 4 deep cups. These round or oval cups were artificially placed by pick or drill. A nearly simultaneous emergence of the neolithic plant and the time, those cup drillings were applied, is unlikely. Ratheer it has to be considered that the cups, like many other engravings in rock, also were installed during the late Bronze Age. Since at least for affixed to vertical surfaces cups are no use for presentation of oblations, is the researchers assumtion that the cups are themselves the result of the stones ritual act, similar to the North American Forest Indians in the 18th u. 19 Century traditional annual lighting of a new stove fire in spring by fire drilling. Another analogy is scraping out stone flour from the south walls of churches to prevent all possible problems arising from evil. After the sign.

Those graves were used for a whole kin. Built without entry passage tunnel, there was an opening for later burials. There are really huge stones, and sometimes gather in neighborhood to other dolmen. Originally, those graves were covered with soil.
