That megalithic Atlantic culture fascinates me. When you start to look at the number and scale of the various monuments and earthworks and realise that they are at a landscape level! It looks like people moved around a lot too and sometimes at great numbers for seasonal events. I'd love to be able to see with my own eyes what it was like.
