Notes
In Mesopotamia the major structure were Zigarattes, in Egypt there were the pyramids and in Europe there were Dolmen. They were called Megalithic tombs which is where they would bury their dead. There were also Menhir which are standing stones where Megaliths were more like monuments. In Europe there was a structure called Stonehenge, it is located on the Salisbury Plains in England. It is a combination of Plinths and Lintels. There Plinths are the vertical pieces and Lintels are the horizontals. We are not sure why it was built but it is thought to be built by the Druids. It was built in the prehistoric era.
