Bruniquel Cave, France

French Bruniquel Cave also attracts a lot of researchers. There were found two stone circles which were built more than 170 000 years ago. The researchers have no doubts that these mysterious circles were made by people. The main material was the parts of stalactites and stalagmites. In order to make the circles, there were used about 400 parts which were connected to the fire.

More than 170 000 years ago on the territory of modern France lived the Neanderthals. No one except them could do anything like this. The unusual circles in the Bruniquel Cave are quite complex buildings. It says that Neanderthals were more intelligent than the modern science used to think. We still don't know about the real practical use of these outstanding circles.

In 1992 the researchers have supposed that these circle structures could be something like Stonehenge and called it “The Cave Stonehenge”. Some researchers reckon that these mysterious circles were used for cultic rituals. Numerous researchers have claimed that fact that fire regularly was in the cave. This unique archaeological place is situated not far from the small Bruniquel village, where two wonderful ancient castles have saved. In one of them was organized an archaeological museum.
