Alas, one we can't post, but I wish we could use it:

Dolmens are also found in Ireland.

According to Scanian folklore, a legendary king named King Ale lies buried there.

King Liquor is on the other side.

found what they believe is an imprint of the tomb, which must have consisted of very heavy rocks as the impression was solid...

So...the actual dolmen stones themselves are not present?

Talk about tomb robbing!

Re: That other link. They have lost their ever lovings if they think those images are Art.

We had these in college. You drank an ale and then ran ten times around the rock. Then, you went to the next rock and did the same thing. Whoever got to the end and could still stand, without throwing up, was crowned KING ALE. See, some Scandinavian traditions are still going. It seems to be all the traditions involving drinking, though.

In one breath they claim the tomb could be 5000 years old, then they just drop the ramifications of that and talk about something else.

That’s 3000BC!!! If their estimate is correct that would make it a tomb from the time frame generally considered the time when the great pyramids were constructed.

Does anyone else have some interest as to what size and sophistication of civilization would have the tools and manpower to move all these stones around, possibly to mark the grave of a king or other important person?

The history we normally teach doesn’t really line up with that.

The High Priestesses of the Temple - a 3,000 year old tradition - hoist one to King Ale.
