Types of Mecklenburg megalithic tomb
Okay kiddo, so a megalithic tomb is like a really old and big tomb made out of huge stone blocks. Mecklenburg is a place in Germany where there are lots of these tombs. Do you want me to tell you about the different types of megalithic tombs in Mecklenburg?
Great! There are two main types of megalithic tombs in Mecklenburg: dolmens and passage graves.
A dolmen is a tomb made out of three or more gigantic stones. The stones are placed upright to form a small room with a flat stone on top. Think of it like building a little house out of really big rocks. People would put the dead bodies inside this kind of tomb.
A passage grave is a little bit different. It's a long, narrow tomb that has a stone passage leading up to it. It's like a hallway that leads to a small room where the bodies were placed. The passage is usually low and narrow, so the stones have to be small enough to be carried by a person. This is different from a dolmen where the stones are so big that they need to be moved by using special equipment.
So there you have it, little one! Dolmens are like little stone houses and passage graves have hallways leading up to them. All of them are really old and big tombs in a place called Mecklenburg.
