1. Title: "Cromlechs of Azpegi: A Window into Prehistoric Navarre, Spain" 2. Description: This evocative image captures the enigmatic beauty of the Cromlechs of Azpegi, a megalithic monument located in the heart of the Aezkoa Valley, near Orbaitzeta, in Navarre, Spain. Dating back to the late Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods (circa 3500-2500 BC), this archaeological site is a testament to the rich prehistoric heritage of Europe's Iberian Peninsula. The Cromlechs of Azpegi, also known as the Dolmen of Azpeitia, consist of a series of architectural structures, including dolmens, cromlechs, and quoits. These monumental constructions are believed to have served various functions, from tombs and burial sites to religious or ceremonial purposes. The central structure in this photograph is a cromlech, a circular arrangement of upright stones surrounding a central burial chamber. The portal stones, adorned with intricate carvings, frame the entrance to the chamber, while the quoits, or large, flat stones, form a protective ring around the monument. The Cromlechs of Azpegi are situated in a serene, pastoral setting, surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills. The site's tranquil atmosphere invites contemplation and reflection, as visitors are transported back in time to an era when ancient civilizations left their indelible mark on the landscape. This image offers a glimpse into the fascinating prehistory of Navarre, Spain, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure and mystery of Europe's megalithic monuments. 3.
