There is an interesting version that megaliths are cult objects, with the help of which communication with the other world was carried out. Scientists discovered a bas-relief depicting a gate on the dolmens, and considered that the drawing indicates a portal to another dimension. Priests came to the buildings and predicted the future in an altered state. It was found that stone buildings emit low-frequency vibrations, influencing the psyche of people.
