Maklavun Tholos
Maklavun Tholos submitted by AlexHunger : Maklavun Tholos Maklavun is a unique but threatened bronze Age site near Porec, Croatia. It resembles a cairn with a large intenal chamber. There is a grave on the inside as well as a dromos leading to it. The local archeologists believe it once had a complex corbeled roof, perhaps like Newgrange. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Tholos in Croatia


207 Meters altitude. Cairn like remains with Dromos entrance way and grave. Probably had a corbelled roof, like Newgrange, now lost. Site is seriously threatened by quarry systematically consuming the hill around it. This is creating cracks in the cliff, which could go any time, and which would completely destroy the site for ever. A rescue operation or preferably a halt to the quarrying are urgently required.

A local quary is eating into the hill all around it and the rock is starting to crack. Something needs to be done to rescue this unique Croatian site. (2 comments - Vote or comment on this photo)
