dolmen
Megalithic graves across Europe. Populated, or not, 3 to 4 thousands of years Before Christ. While in Ireland I toured the Burren and stopped at the Paulnabrone dolmen. Very atmospheric. “The Modern Antiquarian” a fabulous book by Julian Cope lists megalithic sites throughout Europe. The book is one of my most treasured possessions. Websites selling the book under-detail the sheer volume and depth of research that Julian put into constructing this fabulous book.
Before the advent of anti-aging products these dolmen represented the celebration of aging, death, and life beyond. Julian Cope is one of the most influential celebrity individuals in my formative years, I blame him alone for a pair of black leather jeans being a main stay of my wardrobe and, or course, my RAF orignial flight jacket.
