According to the researchers, all of the items and objects found within the tomb dates back more than 3000-9000 years.
Based on the size of the tombs, experts were highly confident that the megalithic monuments are almost comparable to that of Stonehenge.
Between 2001 and 2003, archaeologists unearthed three cemeteries holding a number of objects, mostly seashells and stones, together with potteries.
The hypotheses are that the civilization’s inhabitants had high stature and exceptionally low infant death rate.

Two more cemeteries were unearthed in 2009, although the residents there weren’t as tall as the previous and had a higher infant mortality.
Experts came into the conclusion that the former three cemeteries were used to bury members of the upper classes, while the latter two were used for the poorer ones.
Furthermore, a new burial site has been discovered, being set aside for children under 3 years old.
Finally, scientists concluded that all of these characteristics imply that the ancient civilization to which the cemeteries belong was a highly evolved culture.
