Did you know that some of the world's oldest structures are found in France, dating back to Neolithic age?
The cluster of ancient structures, known as the Tumulus of Bougon, were built around 4800 BC.
Located in western France, these structures stand as a testament to the sophisticated technical skills of their creators.
They are not buildings in the traditional sense, but megalithic tombs, made from large slabs of stone.
Each of these bougons contains one or more dry-walled internal chambers.
Discovered to contain human remains and artifacts such as pottery, they point to complex Neolithic burial rituals.
These tumulus structures, still standing thousands of years later, bear witness to the enduring legacy of our human ancestors. .
