A long-lost ancient megalithic structure has been revealed, after intense droughts and record-breaking temperatures this summer lowered water levels at a Spanish reservoir.
For decades, only the tips of the ancient structure could be glimpsed from above. “All my life, people had told me about the dolmen,” Angelo Castaño, president of the local Roots of Peraleda Cultural Association,told Atlas Obscura’s Alyssa McMurtry“I had seen parts of it peeking out from the water before, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in full. It’s spectacular because you can appreciate the entire complex for the first time in decades,” he added.
The site could have also functioned as a burial mound. According to ScienceAlert, a handful of personal items had been found among the rock piles in the 1920s, as well as symbols of a human form and a snake carved into the entrance. However, whatever relics once existed would have been washed away in the reservoir.“There certainly may have been treasures buried beneath the stones once upon a time, but for us now, the treasures are the stones themselves,” he told the Local.
reservoir means they bulldozed an area to hold water. this clearly looks like headstones placed together before it was flooded
They must have failed to pay their carbon tax.
