People built dolmens primarily as burial sites and ritual spaces, serving as tombs for the deceased. These megalithic structures, often made from large stones, were constructed by ancient communities to honor their dead and facilitate ancestral worship. Additionally, dolmens may have served as markers of territory or community identity, reflecting the social and cultural practices of the societies that created them. Their enduring presence also suggests a desire for a connection with the spiritual or supernatural.
