Lanyon Quoit in Cornwall, dating back to 3500-2500 BC, predates the pyramids. Once tall enough for a horse and rider to pass under, its capstone weighs over 13 tonnes. Originally atop four stones, it fell in 1815 and was re-erected at a lower height. Its purpose remains debated, from burial chamber to ritual site.
