MONTSERRAT Mt. WAS THE CRADLE OF MEGALITHIC DOLMEN

Catalonia has a natural brave bull relief. It's an immensely giant prehistoric bull-totem that stand in north skirt of Mt. Montserrat (40 km. away from Barcelona city). Casually this very erosionated and cold sector of the Catalonia’s holy mountain offers for ever so huge natural profile of brave bull in challenging attitude -as the ancestral URUS (Bos Primigenius ). Appears very separated of rest of geologic formation, and for more causality it presides over a great landing at its feet’s.

In the highlands of Solsona district I found this bull profile worked in stone, destined to serve as "Totem-Head" over the Dolmen Cuca cover slab. The Bull-Totem missionaries made its neck at as angle of 90, and the curved nape of the neck almost with parallel edges. This stone has its own stability.

The builders carved it corasely, but it should be complemented by adding horns. Its size is in proportion with the dolmen room that it has underneath. Further away from NW. of Mt. Montserat, in Pallars Sobirà district, I discovered another very big natural rock that was a Bull-Totem sculpture. A strong cultural charge was projected to the NW. of Montserrat for an itinerant religious people. Its existence solves the enigma of WHY so vermin megalithic's dolmen of the European prehistory, just in the center of Catalonia (NE. of Spain), never they expanded towards the south. Empty slab drawers were not building inside the south lands of the Ebro river,... and much less in Valencia zone. It is necessary to admit the solution watching as graphical as monumental natural sculpture in the north side of Mt. Montserrat.

BULL-TOTEM: HEADS OF FECUNDITY :

In my bicolour cane upon the Bull-Totem profile, inform to us not only about its size, but also the loos back line of so schematic profile. Note: Exactly in the place where its head should be excavated some "horn", this little profile only has just a very remarked angle in the stone. In the same forest sector, I see many prehistoric vestiges, all of them inside a very sinuous wall (1 m. high), including someone big megalithies from time to time.

I suspect the intentionality of several little rocks, which in the ancient time should have round profile. Above of them, I discover this new Bull-Totem profile excavated on the rock. That day -looking to list- I remove with my cane the soil, dragging to raise the gross layor of hardened lives.

The missionaries of Bull-Totem ritual give this new Totem form only removing the crust from, and jumping the slab stone between natural pits of the soil. With a paper model, I return its initial bull profile. I suppose its brooked back due the ice during thousand years.

                                                                                                            MEGALITHIC PROJECTION:

It was evoked during the Medieval Age in South Pyrenees. For instance, if you look at this symbolic painting from the Baltarga church (actually in Seo de Urgel Museum), you will see this strange dress for a woman which was painted 1.000 years ago inside a circle, which is UPON THE BACK of a bull (it has almost disappeared, but you can see its neck below -outside the line of the circle-, and you can also see the point of a horn on the left hand side at 9 oclok).

The artist tried to explain how the "Mother-Earth annual insemination" altered Catholic piety. So, the word (LUNA) moon, is very necessary, because upon the woman head there are two "horns". One of woman's arms look like a snake, including one "eye" in its "head". From this "eye" emanates a sunlight ray, which is able to raise shadow of the other hand of the woman (solar insemination). This latter hand, symbolizes an underground cave chamber, because of its exaggerated size.

Now Everybody will be able to understand what initially stimulated these enormous efforts, ...and at last what was able to justify why was constructed so longs barrows in prehistoric times.

The Egyptian god Seth, whom the greeks called Tiphon and identify with the figure of an ass, is the key of the symbolism in my book "The Human Face of Montserrat"(LA CARA HUMANA DE MONTSERRAT), which, in 1990, I finally had to do the photolites and edit myself since the publishing companies were not prepared to do so.

The distribution, sales and even the photos were all done by myself and for this reason is probably the last of the "artisan" books in the western world. In this book I have collected together ideas about God and Evil which I assimilated over more than a decade, beginning at the same time as my discovery, in a scale model, of the human face which appears in the aerial view, in my book, of a very circumspect bearded man (these aerial photos were part of the information gathered by a NASA satellite). I then dedicated the second part to summarising, as briefly as possible, all that I discovered written about asses over a period of more than 50 centuries all moralising done in light and amusing way. The only connection between such varied themes is the biblical scene "The Balam's ass".

My subliminal intention was to refereed on God and Evil, because in the classical Mediterranean culture the ass represented the horned Egyptian god Seth, the forerunner of the figure later called Satan (I did not was well understood).



        DOLMEN CUCA" IDEALISATION

I believe the megalithic idea of sunlight insemining Mother-Earth WITH LIFE, which I capture graphically with this photo. Searching to obtain this effect, I only moved two little stones in ithe back ground Dolmen Cuca. There is a small ritual hole, because its old entrance was destroyed many years ago. In the ground in front of the dolmen, stands a very big oval stone which covered the Dolmen Cuca (I hoop the aplication of new datation system CLORUS-36).

Between the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic ocean, the Bull-Totem missionaries they are able to cross so big mountain ranger by eastern coast, but they never search any NW pass in the Cantabric sea (Western Pyrenees coast).

My own discoveries about the exposed prehistory enigmas, which are specially the megalithism of western Europe, are the next:

HOW it was the "First God" of inhabitants of european societies.
HOW the Montserrat mountain inspired the bull-totem first devotion.
HOW they believe it is possible to force the image for own benifit.
THE efforts that people made to reproduce "alive" temples.
HOW they made "sound-totems" in stone bull form.
WHERE was the births place of such religious prehistoric "science".
HOW the idea arrived at Europe, and by where happened.
THE origin of the celebrations of Christmas day, and also Saint John ,in June 24th.
THE origin of the very cruel games with the bulls.

                              TOTEM-BULL STONE "HEAD" NEAR PUJOL VILLAGE (PALLARS SOBIRA-CATALONIA)

It is the third dolmens concentration contemporaneous and with the same constructive furore in NW of Mt. Montserrat. There exist a prehistoric habitat -never studied yet- in a thick forest, wich is crossed by a sinuous alignment of menhir and many other big ritual stone during the prehistoric times. The most suggestive one, is this petrified natural Bull-Head, today very erosionated. Undoubtedly it was a totemisthical ritual centre. I also found near a big dolmen with monolithic slab cover (8m. diameter) never published before, and also a Bull-Totem head (like the Dolmen Cuca one), although, its "back" was never finished.

I am between the adventurous finders of antiques who many years ago they risk all kind of dangers in exotic lands (or the man who were searching temples or looking for one tribe), and the present archaeologist of rigid norms, in whose financed missions they behave as in front of a musical score, because in spite of being licensed, the team research has everything previously sounded the place and is work is like inside an orquesta where everything was codified, tematized, etc.; so that they do not have margin for the risk,... and the less for own imagination. But I am thankful to them, because is its pretty 3D virtualizations.

                                                                                SPANISH TEXT ABOUT FIRST BULL-TOTEM

La pareidolia y la apofenia, permiten analizar desde un punto de vista perceptivo-visual las obras rupestres o sitios arqueológicos y sus entornos. En toda la Península Ibérica se conservan vestigios de un ancestral culto al toro, el cual hasta ahora no podía ser explicado, ni tampoco el motivo de como pudo haber tenido tanto éxito como para permanecer vivo a través de los milenios, y especialmente en toda la costa mediterránea. En efecto, las formas tauromorfas abundan mucho, tanto esculturas de granito como figuritas de toro en la estatuaria menor, y el historiador Diodoro dejó escrito que se trataba de rituales con carácter sagrado. En las Islas Baleares más todavía, pues incluso se ha recuperado restos de un ataúd en forma de toro hueco, el cual a pesar de estar muy quemado, hay pruebas suficientes de que debió de servir para incinerar en su interior cadáveres de personas ricas.

Para información de los arqueólogos del futuro -ya que confio muy poco en la perspicacia de los que me son contemporáneos-, dejaré especificado que la proyección hacia el N.W. de Montserrat no estaba en el numeroso núcleo de megalitos diseminados alrededor de Súria (Bages), en la cuenca del río Cardener, sino que se puede seguir su proyección hacia sol poniente gracias a los mucho mejor vinculados a Montserrat al estar situados más al sur de dicha comarca del Bages.

Se trata de los alineados megalitos que se conservan a partir del llamado Jaciment de Vilaclara, Torre dels Moros, y Necrópolis de can Paleta. Y luego, ya más alejados en la misma dirección N.W., están los de Can Marquet y la llamada Necrópolis de Coromines , siguiendo: St. Andreu d'Aguilar, Serra Gallarda, Cau de l'Aguineu y Petjades Fosils ; a partir del cual ya se comunican con los muy numerosos dólmenes y cistas de las tierras altas del sur de la comarca del Solsonés. Es en el sur de esta comarca donde aún siguen muchos vestigios de los ejemplares de Toro-Totem petrificado mejor conservados, los cuales, repito, incluyeron "cabezas cornudas" todas ellas picadas con un mismo diseño "homologado".
