A change in Agriculture took place. But even more evident a change in construction and its evolution to similar megalithic structures took place. From stone to wood, people learnt how to apply same structural code to different materials.
When Napoleon Bonaparte took power, most of Europe was ruled by a monarchy. When Napoleon became First Consul he began annexing territories and building his French Empire. His absolute rule resulted in Europe revolutionizing and refusing to live under an absolute power.
A shift to agriculture
The construction of European megaliths was primarily driven by significant social and cultural changes during the Neolithic period, particularly the transition from nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities. This shift allowed for the accumulation of resources and the establishment of permanent structures for rituals and ceremonies, which megaliths often served. Additionally, the rise of complex social hierarchies and community identities likely influenced the motivation to create these monumental structures as symbols of power and communal identity.
