Spain’s Matarrubilla stone in Spain was taken over 5300 years ago

A 2-tone Megalith in Southern Spanish was brought to its current location by a joint group of ancient seas in the 5300 years ago.
Matarrubilla rock is a strong slab of Gypsum about 1.7 meters long by 1.2 m wide in the graveyard in Valencina copper area, near Seville.
It is located inside a rounded room called a tholos, with enough room to stand around it. Because of its unique composition and size, the stone is thought to be used in rituals, but the proven mystery is up to date.
Luis Cáceres Pure At the University of Huelva in Spain makes the chemical analysis of the slab and optically stimulating the dating – estimated force of sediments – underground is better determined by its age and place of origin.
The results suggest megalitith dragged into its current location between 4544 and 3277 BC, hundreds of years – maybe even 1000 years – beforehand. New dates also suggested the stone transferred to Valencina before the tunnel structure is established.
The stone composition is larger in a quarry 55 kilometers away on the other side of Guadalquivir River. At this time, there is a wide estuary between the two sites, suggesting the stone should be brought to the boat.
This is the first evidence of a megalitic stone carried on the boat to the Iberian Peninsula, but large stones on other megalitic sites in Europe, such as Stonehenge In UK and French Carnac, it is also thought to be carried in this way.
“The 4th Millennium BC saw the strong evolution of navigation,” said the team member Leonardo García Sanjuán at the University of Seville. “Basarrubilla Stone may be a good piece of indirect evidence, which, in our opinion, proves that these people have a lot of boat technologies.”
Archaeological discoveries from other sites show that Mediterranean communities have already established sophisticated boats, he added.
“Crossing the past sea with a large stone prove once more technical Navoir-Faire to Matarrubilla builders,” says Ramón Fabregas Valcarce At the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain, which is not included in the study.
Valencina is one of Europe’s largest prehistoric sites, covering an area of more than 460 acres. Among The Site’s Rarer Artefacts are Materials Imported from Far-Flung Regions, including Amber, Flint, Cinnabar, Ivory and Ostrich Egg.
“(Valencina) consists of megalithic monuments, many canals, many records of burying and refined cultural material Iberia, North Africa and the Mediterranean,” says Cáceres pure.
Before work in the area earns many details indicating the importance of historical side, including a century period from 2900 to 2650 BC when it was mostly governed by women.
“Current study adds interesting more details for one of the main monuments of Valencina,” as Alasdavaroir Whittle In Cardiff University, UK.
