The megalithic structure Cueva de Menga, which is about 5,700 years old, is located in the vicinity of the town of Antequera in Spain. It was built on top of a hill from large stones, the largest of which weighs more than a hundred tonnes. In the new work, scientists analysed the composition of the stones to find out their origin and method of transport.
