Spanish Stonehenge revealed after spending decades underwater

It may not be as well known as Stonehenge itself, but the "Spanish Stonehenge" is now visible for the first time in 50 years, after having spent the last half-century underwater.

Known as Dolmen de Guadalperal, the 7,000-year-old megalithic structure was spotted by NASA satellite images in July. Also known as the treasure of Guadalperal, the structure dates between 2,000 and 3,000 B.C. and is located in Peraleda de la Mata, a municipality of slightly more than 1,400 people and 105 miles away from Madrid.

The structure, of which there are approximately 150 stones, is back on dry land due to record heat and drought in Europe.



"Archeologists believe it was originally constructed as an enclosed space — a large stone house with a cap," NASA Observatory wrote on its website. "The dolmen could have served as a tomb, a site for religious rituals, or a trading hub since it was relatively easy to cross the river at this location."

NASA continued: "The most recent recorded exploration and excavation of the site was by German archaeologist Hugo Obermaier in the 1920s. By the time Obermaier’s findings were published in the 1960s though, Valdecañas Reservoir was filled, submerging history with water."

The world-famous Stonehenge circle was built around 2,500 B.C. during the late Neolithic period.

Although the Dolmen de Guadalperal, which was found in 1926, remains shrouded in mystery, one stone is believed to be the entrance. This stone dictates a squiggly line, assumed to be either a snake or the Tagus River.

If it is indeed the Tagus River, it could represent "one of the oldest maps on Earth," NASA added on its website.

LiveScience reports that it is likely that Dolmen de Guadalperal will be submerged again, once the wetter weather of the autumn and winter arrives. There have been groups who have advocated moving the monolithic structure to higher ground so it can be studied by researchers, but some warn that moving it could cause it to decay faster, the news outlet added.

Well I'll be! You mean if you allow more water to run out of a dammed reservoir it proves MMGW?

Just like the "near extinction of the polar bear" and other made up MMGW lies I heard all weekend, they leave out the important parts like:

The addition of new areas using the reservoir for their municipal water supplies causing it to drain down faster.
Allowing more agricultural use of the waters in the reservoir.

Listen, if you drain more than is put in, the water level goes down --- faster. I know it's a previously unknown scientific fact, but remember you heard it here first!

Your on the money again Chadeaux ....I hope to see Greda using this as a new talking point soon.... my same thoughts just leave out the dam ...Put a quick spin leave out the fine print

I was talking about the Dam that holds the water back. It was a double "m" not a "mn".

Greda handlers won't tell her about the dam ...they just say it was caused by globe warming .....I seen this decades ago with riots that were never show on the news ...Building #7 Wtc that collapsed wasn't show on T.V. because if you seen it that day it would open your mind and you realize the talking points are all BS ....I mention this fact today this post will be gone...... i posted a video it was removed....sheep make up 95% of the world you got 3% lion tamers 1% controllers and the other 1% well they fight to the end ....Its all a game know your enemies

Thanks for posting this. I was looking for it again after seeing a post on a Mexico site, which I did not bookmark. Really interesting

Leave science out of this!
Some days I think humans are just doomed. Then I think the humans who are doomed are those who deny science. There are some large countries where those in power see the world as it exists.
