Bevan Thomas<p>The pech are Scottish goblins who have great strength despite their small size. An old, sick pech on his deathbed was able to shatter a metal cup by squeezing it. Along with the giants, the pech were said to be the builders of Scotland's ancient stone megaliths.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FolkloreSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FolkloreSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/31DaysofHaunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>31DaysofHaunting</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ScottishMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScottishMythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CelticMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CelticMythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Folklore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ScottishFolklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScottishFolklore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CelticFolklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CelticFolklore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scotland</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Celtic</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Fairy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fairy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Faerie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Faerie</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Goblin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Goblin</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Megalith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Megalith</span></a></p>

MegalithicTrip<p>Dans cette mini série de dolmens sous la neige, voici celui de la Cave aux Fées (Saint-Cergues, Haute-Savoie) situé au pied du massif des Voirons. Même si des tessons de vases campaniformes (du Néolithique final) ont été retrouvés, ce monument est sans doute un peu plus ancien. La dalle de couverture en arkose est estimée à 22 tonnes !</p><p>Un article très intéressant sur ce monument à lire ici : <a href="https://hal.science/hal-02415964v1/document" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hal.science/hal-02415964v1/doc</span><span class="invisible">ument</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dolmen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dolmen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StandingStoneSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandingStoneSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/neolithic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neolithic</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/campaniform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>campaniform</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/megalith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>megalith</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a></p>
MegalithicTrip<p>Un des premiers dolmens que j'ai étudié : le dolmen de la tombe du capitaine à Villedieu (Cantal, France), un dolmen en basalte situé sur la Planèze de Saint-Flour. Sa dalle de couverture (en basalte de Bouzentès) comporte plusieurs gravures. Malgré les fouilles, on sait peu de choses sur ce monument et les gravures ne peuvent pas être datées. </p><p>Il existe toutefois cette étude des années 1970 : <a href="https://www.persee.fr/doc/racf_0220-6617_1974_num_13_3_1934" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">persee.fr/doc/racf_0220-6617_1</span><span class="invisible">974_num_13_3_1934</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/megalith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>megalith</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dolmen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dolmen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StandingStoneSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandingStoneSunday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/neolithic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neolithic</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a></p>
