The mysteries of Portugal's 7,000-year-old 'Stonehenge'

The Cromlech of the Almendres is a megalithic complex in Evora, Portugal, dating back 7,000 years ago. This makes the sacred stone sites 2,000 years older than the world’s most famous Neolithic monument, Stonehenge.

The Portuguese megalithic structure is believed to have been used for religious or ceremonial purposes as well as an astronomical observatory.
