問題詳情

Contrary to common opinions, megaliths are rarely crude or unplanned. If observers are careful enough, they willdetect on the giant stones the traces of those supposedly refined carvings, now worn down by rainwater and frost. Andeven when the shape of the stone is irregular, its overall appearance shows it was selected and quarried with care. TheFairies’ Rock at Essé, the finest dolmen in Brittany, is made of enormous blocks of red shale taken from a rock bedtwo and a half miles away. While fairies were carrying stones in their aprons—so the story goes—one stone slippedfrom the aprons, and dropped from the sky to the ground; the result is this isolated dolmen.  The texture and color of a stone used in the dolmen often bespeak a good knowledge of local geology.Priest-architects would have taken the best that was available in the area. In chalky earth at Bougon, the dolmen’spillars match one another and are made of the local rock. The covering slabs, however, are of a different texture. Oneis a 32-ton block of Bathonian flint from an outcropping two and a half miles away, and the other is a fossiliferouscoralline massif weighing 90 tons that was excavated at a distance of several hundred yards.
