Sudden Resurfacing: Unveiling the Spanish Stonehenge after 59 Years

The Dolmen of Guadalperal, known as the Spanish Stonehenge, is a prehistoric monument estimated to be around 5000 years old. First discovered in 1926 by German archaeologist Hugo Obermaier, the site submerged in 1963 due to rural development projects. Now, after 59 years, this historic site has reappeared from the water due to Spain's recent extreme drought conditions. The unexpected resurfacing of the Dolmen of Guadalperal provides researchers with valuable insights into the history of Spain’s megalithic builders, a group about whom much is still a mystery despite the presence of numerous dolmens across Europe.
