Nestled in Spain's
picturesque Extremadura region, the Dolmen
of Guadalperal, often referred to as the "Spanish
Stonehenge," is a mysterious megalithic monument submerged for decades
beneath the Valdecañas Reservoir. Dating back to the late Neolithic period,
this architectural marvel consists of granite and quartz stones meticulously
arranged, revealing advanced engineering skills.
Discovered by German
priest Hugo Obermaier in the 1920s, the dolmen's purpose remains speculative,
with theories ranging from burials to astronomical observatories. The recent
drought in 2019 uncovered this hidden treasure, drawing global attention to its
historical significance.
