Not an interesting picture, but an interesting story. During the winter of 1937, a huge storm displaced large amounts of sand here, and the following low tide uncovered 12 granite sarcophagi. Unfortunately the rising tide dispersed everything a few hours later. Nobody payed any more attention to this story reported by a couple of poor peasants until, in 1974, another storm revealed one more stone sarcophagus. This time, someone made a picture of the scene and then quickly displaced the sarcophagus before the tide came back. Since then, the sarcophagus lays in a garden a few kilometers from here, where I have seen it. Archeologists have looked at it and believe it dates back to the end of the Neolithic period.
Thus, it is very likely that a Neolithic necropolis still lies under a few feet of sand here, and that people walk, unaware, on top of ancient tomb and bodies. This story has fallen into oblivion, there are no signs on the beach and nobody seems to know about it. I was fortunate enough to find it in one of the rare books on the local history of this area.
It is a very interesting capture of this amazing site. I wonder why there are no indications in the area, normally the older generation should know more about their history. Thanks for sharing.
