ISOLA D' ELBA - MEGALITE A MONTE COCCHERO 659
Back from Elba Island where I visited for the third time Monte Cocchero an extraordinary megalithic site described for the first time by Giorgio Monaco in the early 60s. Monaco writes of two gigantic menhirs, leaning on the summit and of a facing &quot;amphitheater&quot; of monoliths, today visible with some difficulty because of the scrub that surrounds it... however we identified it without a shadow of a doubt and... measured one of the megaliths which calculated it to weigh around 8 metric tons (17637 lb) !!! Thanks Gabriele for the splendid photo!!!
