Magic Historical Heritage


The word "Dolmen" originates from the expression "taol maen", which means "stone table" in Breton (an ancient Celtic language spoken in Brittany and France). Presented as round and square stone  monoliths with a hole in the center and dated as a rule between the end of the 4th millennium and the beginning of the 2nd millennium B.C, they left a few ideas about the rituals and purposes they had been intended for. They say about 10 thousand years ago there existed  a great prosperous and flourish Vedic civilization. There have been scattered thousands of something like stounhenges all over the world, including Germany, France, Spain, England, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, India, Korea and Russia.

Someone believes dolmens to be a place of ritual rites and possess  power to bring love, health and luck. Thus, a dolmen the Poulnabrone Dolmen in Ireland or a dolmen in Normandy, France are considered to be some kind of entrance to the heaven or other world.







Unusual atmosphere reigns in the territory Dolmens of North Caucasus (founded near villages Vozrozhdenie and Pshada). It may happen one goes through various feelings, such as unexplainable joy or excitement, light giddiness or a will to burst into tears. Anyway everyone reaches harmony with the nature and peculiar mountain air.



Another version of dolmens' destination is a burial theory.  A person buried in a dolmen was the medium between two worlds. The cult of the dead was widespread in that epoch, so that the cut on the North side of a dolmen may be explained as the way a death could transfer into another world. Travel guides in  the North Caucasus say it's probably a fairy tale created for tourists to stimulate tourism stream in the region. No one can say for sure what was a real object ancient civilization pursued since there's no chronicle or some written evidence. Scientists of Krasnodarsky krai say the pictures of a man and a dog were found pencilled on a dolmen in Pshada. Perhaps they portrayed a shaman fallen into a trance under the influence of psychotropic substances like cannabis to communicate with the death. A dog served as a guide to come back. This rite was devoted to appeal for the heaven to bring a good harvest.





Magic and enigmatic and dolmens still stay unresearched and weird to humans conscious. Without doubt these places are worth visiting. Every year I come back to the sacred places to feel impressive energy of ancient times.
