This document discusses various types of megaliths, large prehistoric stone structures found across Europe. It describes dolmens, structures made of large upright stones supporting flat capstones, and mentions the Dolmen of Menga, one of the largest in Europe. It also discusses menhirs, single upright standing stones, and alignments of multiple menhirs. Some of the most famous alignments are located at Carnac, France, consisting of nearly 3,000 standing stones arranged in long rows. Megaliths such as Stonehenge and Avebury were built as circular arrangements of stones and may have served ceremonial purposes related to astronomy.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. A megalith is a large stone that has
been used to construct a
prehistoric structure or
monument, either alone or
together with other stones. There
are over 35,000 in Europe alone,
located widely from Sweden to the
Mediterranean sea.
• The word was first used in
1849 by the British
antiquarian Algernon
Herbert in reference
to Stonehenge and derives
from the Ancient Greek words
"mega" for great and "lithos"
for stone. Most megaliths
were erected between
the Neolithic period through
the Chalcolithic period and
into the Bronze Age.
3. MEGALITHISM IN
THE IBERIAN
PENINSULA
• In the Iberian Peninsula, funerary
megaliths dated to between the
mid-4th and the early 2nd millennia
are well known. However, the
origins of the phenomenon could
be probably dated back to the
second half of the 5th millennium
BC, and it is still poorly defined.
Few proto-megalithic sites are
known, and in those that exist
human remains are either lacking
or badly preserved, or the
archaeological contexts have been
ruined by looting and other
activities.
4. DOLMEN
• The dolmen consisted of several
upright supports and a flat roofing
slab, all covered by a protective
mound of earth that in most cases has
weathered away.
• Two principal plans developed from
the dolmen: one, the passage grave,
was formed by the addition of a long
stone-roofed entrance passage to the
dolmen itself; and the other, the long,
coffinlike cist or covered gallery grave,
consisted of a long, rectangular burial
chamber with no distinct passageway.
• Human remains, sometimes
accompanied by artefacts, have been
found in or close to the dolmens.
7. It is one of the largest known ancient megalithic
structures in Europe. It is 25 metres long, 5 metres
wide and 4 metres high, and was built with thirty-
two megaliths, the largest weighing about 180
tonnes. After completion of the chamber (which
probably served as a grave for the ruling families)
and the path leading into the center, the stone
structure was covered with soil and built up into the
hill that can be seen today. When the grave was
opened and examined in the 19th century,
archaeologists found the skeletons of several
hundred people inside.
13. MENHIR
• Menhir (from
Breton men, “stone,”
and hir, “long”), which may
or may not occur in
connection with a megalithic
grave. Menhirs were simple
upright stones, sometimes
of great size, and were
erected most frequently in
western Europe, especially
Brittany.
14.
15.
16. ALIGNMENTS
• Megalithic menhirs were also
placed in several parallel rows,
called alignments. The most
famous of these are the Carnac,
France, alignments, which include
2,935 menhirs. The alignments
were probably used
for ritual processions, and often a
circle or semicircle of megaliths
stood at one end.
17. CARNAC
• The Carnac are an exceptionally dense
collection of megalithic sites around the
village of Carnac in Brittany
(France), consisting
of alignments, dolmens, tumuli and
single menhirs. There are more than
3,000 prehistoric standing stones. There
are three major groups of stone rows:
Ménec, Kermario and Kerlescan. Kemario
Stones consists of 1029 stones in ten
columns, about 1300 metres length.
Kerlescan alignments consists of 555
stones composed in 13 lines and about
800 metres length.
19. From Welsh word crom
(“bowed, arched”,
feminine of crwm) +
llech (“flat stone”).
• Often menhirs were placed together, forming
circles, semicircles, or vast ellipses. Many were
built in England, the best-known sites
being Stonehenge and Avebury in Wiltshire.
• “Stonehenge” was built between roughly 5,000
and 4,000 years ago and that forms just one
part of a larger, and highly complex, sacred
landscape.
• Their original purpose is not fully known. It is
widely thought that they served a ritual or
ceremonial purpose, particularly in relation to
solar and lunar alignments.
• The biggest of Stonehenge’s stones are up to 9
meters tall and 22.6 metric tons on average. It
is widely believed that they were brought from
Marlborough Downs, a distance of 32
kilometers to the north.
