Dolmen de Soto: Unique Millennia-Old Underground Structure Remains A Puzzling Enigma

A. Sutherland  – AncientPages.com – Among the more than two hundred megalithic structures discovered in southwestern Spain’s province Huelva, there is one particularly impressive and, at the same time, mysterious and puzzling.

A giant millennia-old underground structure known as Dolmen de Soto, buried beneath a mound, 60 meters in diameter, is often referred to as Spain’s underground Stonehenge, and one of the largest circular megalithic arrangements in Spain.

Its ancient history is fascinating, and thanks to modern techniques, scientists have discovered ancient drawings on the stones, and many of them display figures armed with daggers, staffs, and axes. Interestingly,  based on the investigation of Dolmen de Soto, no other single megalithic structure in Europe contains so many well-armed figures.

So the question is: Were these ancient people frightened of someone or something?
