In recent years, many megaliths have been discovered in the Urals: dolmens, menhirs and a large megalithic cultic complex of the Vera Island. ==Dolmens of the Middle Urals== At present time, more than 200 dolmens have been discovered in the Sverdlovsk Oblast.〔Морозов В.М., Святов В.Н., Чаиркин С.Е.

Мегалитическая традиция на Урале и проблема пышминских дольменов // Известия Челябинского научного центра, 2006, вып. 3. С. 114-118. http://www.csc.ac.ru/ej/file/3354〕 Specificity of the dolmens in the Middle Urals is their relatively small size (width and length no more than 1.5 - 2.5 m) and original constructions. Basing on difference of constructions it is possible to mark out two main types of dolmens: :1. dolmens of stone plates and mound; :2. boulder dolmens. Dolmens of stone plates are structures consisting of a mound from stones and soil and a stone chamber attached to it. Usually there is a square court in front of such dolmens. Sometimes such a court is surrounded by stones. The boulder dolmens had been made of massive boulders forming a chamber. From above the chamber is covered by either one or several flat boulders. Despite the difference of forms and sizes of chambers, all the boulder dolmens are identical in one feature: they have two entrances - the main entrance (in one of its side walls) and another narrower entrance between the boulders. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Megaliths in the Urals」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
