megalithics people has been selected by Roberto Amati in relation to the real history of european integration, then enlisted in the EUROPEAN PEOPLE category, accompanied by own fact SHEET useful to the comprehension, completed of historical MAPS AND IMAGES or with a direct linking to the related Blog contents dedicated to the entire history of european integration and the future of Europe.



megalithics people

The international name for Megalithics people is a greek term meaning "big stones" to indicate the ancient european people living in the far western part of continent and Britain since the Neolithic age, spreaded all along the Atlantic Ocean coasts and the Northern Sea lands up to Jutland and Skania regions and in part in the north-western Mediterranean Sea: it is possible to include in this ethnic group Vascones and Sardinians, Ligures, Etruscans and Sicanis and other pre-indoeuropean peoples settled in that area around 5000 years BC.


The main caracteristic of those peoples are the megalithic buildings recovered in Portugal (Cromlech of the Almendres is the most ancient), as in Brittany and western France, in Britain archipelagus and even on the coastal area of Andalusia: they had developed the specific "megalithic cultures" made of ipogeos houses, dolmen, menhir and circle stoned buildings (the most famous is Stonhenge in the South England) or the passage graves in Ireland that made suppose they were connected to the Old Egyptian religious tradition and the druidic riths. This aspect remainds directly to Atlantis age and peoples, so that arose the debate on the origins of Megalithic between who consider them coming from Western Atlantic direction and who thinks they came from Middle East area as part of the Homo Sapiens spreading (see the "orizzontal migration" theory).


When was the megalithic age? It is known that Megalithics adopted a Neolithic agricultural economy based primarily on cultivation of crops from the Fertile Crescent, especially as wheat and barley, like the rest of Southern Europe at that time. When the "new comers" Euroepan peoples populated the continent in the Bronze Age, they developed a new culture called "Bell beaker" and spreaded all around Western Europe, influencing the Celts presence from Danemark to the Padania plain and up to eastern Atlantic coasts and the Britain archipelagus, with direct consequences on the whole history of european integration.


There is no evidence of the Megalithics origins and the only genetic information available cannot delineate some direct descendant bloodyline with other European peoples, considering that their survived languages (as the Basque) are all different from the Euroepan languages of indoeuropeans group common to all modern Europe. Even when those regions had annexed to the Roman Empire, the Megalithics people conserved strong cultural and linguistic traditions still alive in nowadays situation: they gave name to respective historical regions (but not to Roman provinces or regios...), to the Ligurian and Tyrrenic Seas and to Sardinia and Corsica isles, where many cities founded still exist such as Laconi and Mores in Sardinia, Filitosa and Sartene sites in Corsica, the Dodecapolis in Tuscany, Irun or Hondarribia in Basque Country. It is not clear if the Etruscan people can be included in this European group, but the presence of megalithics monuments and a particular cultural aspect of them deposes for this hypothesis.


Megalithics people owned a specific phehotype of brown or black hair with large percentage of dark skin (not common to the Caucasian anthropologic human group), self-identifying with their specific ancient culture (that justify the autonomous administrative or jurisdictional execption guaranteed in modern European states) and own language spoken conserved by the indigenous even when they migrated abroad. Nowadays the Megalithics descendants suvive in the Sardinia and Corsica isles, in Basque Country, in Eire and East England, so that they will be part of the future of Europe.
