Long: 85.414 deg East
Lat: 23.984 deg North.
This Birbir megaliths above may seem pretty insignificant, but a mere look at its positioning reveals the stunning astronomy employed in it.The recumbent stone to the right of the obelisk is infact the burial cover. This stone along with the with the obelisk and the triangle to its left are oriented to the North-South which is the orientation of death in India.
Birbir hides in herself more mysteries which will be disclosed in my forthcoming book "THE UNKNOWN PREHISTORY OF INDIAN CIVILIZATION"... hope to be released in 2013.

Look at the perfect astronomy of Birbir (click left to blow up). |

The small triangular stone to the left of the menhir is actually a pointer. Though it has been placed on the North-South line but it has also been positioned to point towards the Equinoctial sunrise.

I am very thankful for the wonderful articles you have here.
But I find that you ignore dates and chronology very much.
If you could help me out on the dates...
I am eager to know of the SPECIFICALLY oldest Megalith in India.
Do we have anything close to the Göbekli Tepe built in Turkey around 9500 BC??????
Please let me know.You dont reveal the dates in most of your articles.

Glad you liked the posts on megaliths. The chronology is deliberately ignored, you see most of the megaliths featured here are not excavated and are not scientifically dated hence this. However if you desire I could give you the probable dates of a few of the megaliths.
The oldest megaliths of India is dated at about 2890 BP and it is in Mangadu in Kollam Takluk in Kerala.
Enjoy the Website and celebrate
megaliths.
Love and peace

Would you say that some of these undated megaliths may be much older than those at Mangadu?
