The small destroyed menhirs were estimated to date back from 5480 to 5320 BCE, the oldest dating obtained for a menhir in western France according to Christian Obeltz, a researcher on Neolithic populations, correspondent for the DRAC and collaborator of the National Centre for Scientific Research in Nantes.
He expresses his regret at the disappearance of such a site that could have been rich in teachings if more in-depth excavations had been carried out. He notes that one of the rows of standing stones had been "exactly in its original place for seven thousand years."
The town hall, regretting the destruction, claims that a rigorous examination of the project was carried out before the building permit was issued. It passes the buck to the DRAC, which had identified the site as a prescription zone in the old land use plan, but no longer in the new local urban plan not listed among archaeological presumption zones. 🤡
Pictured: the site after its destruction in 2023.

The star of my upcoming post on the Abashevo culture.
This young man was an Abashevo warrior who was buried with 26 other men in a mass grave under a kurgan. The Abashevo descended from the Fatyanovo culture and would lead to the formation of the Sintashta culture. They are theorized to have spoken a proto-Indo-Iranian language.
Thanks to @thechadpastoralist for his assistance on this reconstruction. I also want to thank Upasaka as well for his helpful feedback on the piece.

There are thousands upon thousands of Neolithic tombs in Europe and many of them are collective burials, meaning they contained the remains of more than one person.
However this still represents a tiny fraction of all the people who lived during the Neolithic period.
So what did they do with all the other bodies?
Well... we dunno.
There is also evidence of excarnation platforms for exposing bodies (in the form of post holes and human remains).
There were also cremations with the burnt remains buried.
These activities also leave evidence in the ground and although it's harder to find than megalithic tombs of course that still doesn't account for all the dead people.
There is some evidence from Britain suggesting some excarnation platforms may have been on or beside rivers, with the remains being washed downstream.
Whatever traditions were used, only a select few were ever interred in those magnificent tombs.
So who were those people? Why were they so special?
🤔

Detail shots of the Vendel era draugr of the barrow in The Northman (2022) - taken from "The Northman: a call to the gods" which is a book about the film's production. You can learn more about the pagan details of the film in this comprehensive film about its esoteric heathen lore.
I was surprised to see the village of Boxford, a place I used to get drunk with friends as a youth, is in the news. An oak Mesolithic "totem pole" used by WHG in their rituals was found in peat. Dated between 4640BC and 4605BC, it is the oldest decoratively carved timber found in Britain. These timbers were set in post holes much like the Megalithic monuments that the first farmers would build when they arrived later, and they are sometimes found on the same sites, hinting that monuments like Stonehenge may have been a continuation of a WHG custom.
Although the megalith tradition began either in Brittany or possibly in the Paris basin, it seems even there that the EEF were influenced by a monumental earthwork tradition of WHG. The oldest dated megalith monuments in Europe are the Passy graves from the Paris basin 5061 BC, but undated graves from Brittany seem likely to be older and are the only ones which follow an earlier equivalent Mesolithic monument tradition. Not only did WHG there make large earthworks, that later became the sites of EEF megalithic monuments, but on the island of Hoedic and at Téviec we find WHG graves making use of enormous granite slabs, which seems to be a precedent for the first dolmens built by the EEF who came shortly after. The megalith tradition developed in Brittany between 4800-4000 BC before it spread to Britain where it continued to develop on sites previously associated with WHG monuments (Stonehenge for eg was preceded by a Mesolithic timber monument). Little wonder then that the inbred Megalith elites of Ireland were associated with WHG lineages and preserved ancient WHG phenotypes...
