Photos from NASA satellites show that Europe is currently in the throes of a severe drought that is directly linked to the high temperatures of the previous summer, however, it is because of the drought that Dolmen in Guadaparal Only by taking the opportunity of the reservoir dry up, we can show the world the scene of 50 years of absence.

The Dolmen of Guadarrafal is a typical Stonehenge, consisting of about 150 standing stones, about 1.8 meters high, arranged in an oval shape around a center.

Archaeologists speculate that this Stonehenge was built in the 4th or 5th century BC (probably thousands of years older than Stonehenge in England). The Dole Gate in Guardaparal may have once had a huge stone cap to make the entire Stonehenge look like a temple for ceremonial use, but this stone cap is nowhere to be found.

At the entrance of Dole Gate, there is a striking boulder, which may be a gatepost, with a human figure on one side and a curved symbol on the other, the symbol may represent a snake, but it is more like the nearby Tahoe river. NASA scientists believe that if the curve on the stone really looks like a nearby river, the stone would be one of the oldest maps in Europe.

According to locals, this Stonehenge was discovered around 1920, but it was not until 1960 that archaeologists studied the site, but it was too late, because a few years later, a dam was built in the area, submerging The valley where Stonehenge is located. Before anyone could take a closer look at the Dolmen of Guadaparal, it sank to the bottom of the Valdecaas Reservoir, which is next to a hydroelectric power station, which is now The hydropower station continues to generate electricity.

Since the construction of the reservoir, the stones of Stonehenge have occasionally protruded from the water, but the entire ruins have never appeared completely. Although people can now see the whole picture of Dormen, as the autumn and winter rains approach, these stones are likely to be will be submerged again. Locals want the authorities to move the entire Stonehenge to a higher place so that archaeologists can study it and the general public can visit.

But some archaeologists worry that moving them recklessly could cause irreparable damage if the entire move is likely to damage the boulders before the flood season. If the relocation plan is put on hold, there is a good chance that Stonehenge will remain underwater, and people may have to wait until another drought to see it again.
