In Abkhazia have survived about 60 dolmen sites. 15 dolmens are near Sukhumi, in the area of village upper Eshera.
This dolmen is situated in the garden of a House. Reservoir is situated amongst fruit trees on the mountainside. Approximately 1/3 he sunk into the ground. Here there is another ruined dolmen.
Esher's dolmens are around 2-3 Millennium BC.
They were built around the same time as most of the megaliths in southern Russia (North Caucasus and Krasnodar region), as well as many, many other regions of the world...
