A Russian website posted these photos of Ancient Russian tombs over 6,000 years old. They are as huge as those on other continents but are sadly being neglected.

Russian megaliths are equal to the great megaliths of Europe in terms of age and quality of architecture, but are still of an unknown origin. In spite of the variety of Caucasian monuments, they show strong similarities with megaliths from different parts of Europe and Asia, like the Iberian Peninsula, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Israel and India. A range of hypotheses has been put forward to explain these similarities and the building of megaliths on the whole, but still it remains unclear. Approximately 3,000 of these megalithic monuments are known in the Western Caucasus, but more are constantly being found, while more and more are also being destroyed. Today, many of these monuments are in great disrepair and will be completely lost if they are not protected from vandals and general neglect.

I also thought they might be of interest since some are as old as pre-dynastic Ancient Egypt.

This portal has more examples of the Caucasian Tombs, or ‘dolmens’.
It is a Russian site, and if you can read Russian the author’s page might have more info.
