Catch a new post at the intersection of genetics and medieval Iberia. DNA from a man buried in a 6,000-year-old dolmen reveals mixed European, North African & Levantine ancestry — but tells us nothing about his faith. #Archaeogenomics #AlAndalus #Menga https://www.anthropology.net/p/two-men-one-ancient-monument-and

Two Men, One Ancient Monument, and a Religion That DNA Cannot Reveal

A genetic study of medieval burials inside a 6,000-year-old dolmen in southern Spain illuminates ancestry but deepens the mystery of why they were buried there at all.

The mixed Iberian, Mediterranean and North African ancestry of an individual buried in the Menga dolmen has been revealed

Researchers from the University of Seville are participating in an international study that sheds new light on the genetic diversity of Andalusian society between the 8th and 11th centuries AD and reinforces the historical significance of the dolmen as a sacred space used throughout the ages

Builders of Massive 6000-year-old Menga Dolmen Likely Understood Geometry and other “Early Science” Concepts - Arkeonews

Researchers say that a new analysis of the 6000-year-old stone Menga (also known as the Dolmen of Menga), supported by massive stone blocks and columns in southern Spain, requires advanced knowledge of physics, geometry, and geology.

If you're interested in #prehistory , #neolithicheritage #megaliths , you will love to read this. It's a step by step reconstruction of how one of the biggest megalithic structure in Europe was built: the #Menga #Dolmen in Spain. It's an utterly fascinating read and an intriguing hypothesis on early forms of specialisation. With super neat graphics.

Das Format beitreibt einen Kanal auf YouTube. Vor vier Tagen erst traf man sich mit Serge Menga, kein unbekannter in der rechten Ecke.

#Menga hat ein Eintrag bei Wikipedia mit einem Bild von mir.

Das Bild entstand bei einer rechten Demo in Essen. Dort hielt er auch einen Redebeitrag. Das Album ist von 2018 und es war schon alles da, alles, was noch kommen sollte, war sichtbar.
