Question:
"What do Dolmens and other megalithic
monuments such as Stonehenge tell us?"
Answer:
"These
monuments form a path leading from the Land of Israel to the West. This
path describes the routes of migration of the Lost Ten Tribes. This was
predicted by Jeremiah (31:21) who told the Exiled Israelites to take note
of this pathway of monuments in the future in order that they may know
their duty to return.
See "Dolmens"
[Jer 31:21] Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart
toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin
of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
Dolmens and related monuments
are found in the Land of Israel, in Jordan, in the Caucasus, in Spain,
Brittany (France), Britain, and Scandinavia. The type of dolmen found
in the area of ancient Israel (on both sides of the Jordan River) is the
same as that found in western Europe.
The verse (Jeremiah 31;12) in the Hebrew be understood as saying:
"Establish waymarks [i.e."Tsionim" =dolmens] for yourself,
set up for yourself high-heaps [i.e. cairns, "Tamrurim" = wayfare-markers]:
put your heart [i.e. pay attention] to the pathways you went by and return,
o virgin of Israel, come back to these cities of yours.

#1. Megalithic Monuments: New Evidence (traces Scandinavian megalithic
monuments to ca. 500 CE).
Abarbanel: "The prophet therefore spoke concerning the Kingdom of
Israel [of the Ten Tribes] SET THEE UP WAYMARKS saying that when you g
into Exile make signs by the routes and waymarks like piles of rocks [i.e.
cairns] or stone monuments [Hebrew: Matzavah, i.e. dolmen] so that you
may set your heart to the route and remember in order that you may return
in the way you went in, return to your city."
Stone rings in North Germany
once ascribed to the megalithic period (i.e. late stone age) now proven
(by pottery fragments underneath them) beyond all doubt to belong to the
Iron Age.
Similarly stone circles in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden must now be ascribed
to ca. 400-550 CE."
