The mystery of the Caucasian dolmens

Many megalithic buildings have been found in the Caucasian Mountains (in between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea). These dolmens have a shape different from those in West-Europe, Korea and India. Most of them have a rectangular shape and consists of precisely dressed large stones, often with a hole in their façade. The megaliths (more than 3000) are at least 4000 years old.

It is believed that these dolmens once served as tomb, but any proof is lacking. Typically, the entrance of a Caucasian dolmen is always at the south-side (just as with the Dutch hunebeds).
