Sweden's ancient passage grave

Five thousand years ago, giants were buried in Ekornavallen, a burial ground in the Falköping Municipality in Sweden. One of the most notable structures at Ekornavallen is the Neolithic passage grave called Girommen. It consists of sandstone slabs, with a large key stone separating the lower passage and the chamber. The key stone rests on the passage stones. During its restoration in the 1940s, fragments of a chisel, some amber slivers, and ornate potsherds were found.

Girommen is an impressive relic from the Neolithic period, a testament to Sweden's ancient history. In addition to the Girommen passage grave, Ekornavallen also features other structures dating from the Bronze and Iron Ages. These include standing stones, stone circles, cairns, and round stone settings. The function of these structures is uncertain. However, they provide valuable insights into the lives of the people who lived in the area thousands of years ago.
