The interior of the monument in Spain known as the Menga dolmenMiguel Ángel Blanco de la Rubia Neolithic people seem to have understood sophisticated concepts in science, such as physics and geology, using this knowledge to construct a megalithic monument in southern Spain.

Its roofed enclosure was constructed from 32 large stones, some of which are the biggest used in such structures.

But color trends are different—even the most unusual color trends can be wearable if it’s the right piece. Color trends are accessible and universal.
