Thanks Renfield. This is an archaeoastronomy/megaliths topic, but also an "Oh So Mysteriouso" topic. When the narrator began with the phrase "very unique", my BS detector went off (and since I carry it with me, you know it isn't that sensitive ;'). It's still worth a listen, it's titillating and fun. Book's not out yet, but I'm going to link it here anyway. |

...This year, I discovered six of these sites which, in local culture, are frequently attributed to the Mon-pa or Gling Ge-sar of the Tibetan epic. The menhirs are often found in association with other types of structures... ...
The standing stones vary in height from 25 centimeters to 1.5 meters and can number many hundreds in a single complex. The stones appear to have been aligned in neat rows oriented to the cardinal directions. They are now often inclined, heavily worn and covered in lichen, indications of their substantial age. The menhirs appear to be constructed from both raw and dressed stones depending on their size and the particular site.
