RE: The Barnenez Cairn, Europe's largest Neolithic Mausoleum, built 7,000 years ago

Those egg shape entrances.... actually, it made me think of the most natural relationship between male and female. And when I saw the last image, with the cross section of the 11 tunnels, they looked like female reproduction organs. So maybe there is a meaning to this architecture, that after one dies, they are buried as if they have returned to their mother's womb.

Yes, that's exactly it ! I thought the same thing when we visited. But in fact these openings were once under the stones and it's actually the cairn that's changed shape... all 'thanks' to the nearby stone thieves !

I hope you're doing well dear @livinguktaiwan, and that you had a nice summer 🤞😉
