An enormous megalithic site comprising of around 80 tall menhirs having a height between 12 and 14 feet and 2000 small alignment stones spread to about 80 acres of land has been discovered in Mudumal in Telengana.

Dr. K.Pulla Rao who has been researching on this site for over the last eleven years stated that the largest concentration of the menhirs was in the middle. There is no doubt that this site site can easily claim to be largest megalithic site with so many menhirs.

Archaeologists trust the site is indeed an astronomical observatory and can date back to 5000 BC. One square stone is believed to comprise cupmarks denoting the Ursa Major.

Sources of Telengana Archaeology Dept say that a team of Archaeologists from Korea would soon be visiting the site.

Each passing day numerous ancient megaliths get destroyed in India and we have no record of this disaster. It is sad that no government agencies like the ASI, the State Archaeological Depts and the District Administrations demonstrate any interest in their protection perhaps for their tribal origin and also possibly because megaliths to them do not appear to be significant relics of our land.

In actuality prehistoric megaliths are a significant source of our ancient history and their preservation is imperative as these monuments are evidences that India was indeed a land of the tribals in hoary times. A few of them however suggests that astronomy and geometry was known to the megalithic tribals millennias prior to the emergence of the Brahmanical astronomer/mathematicians. Obliteration of prehistoric megaliths is bound to erase this verity.
