It was 1999/2000 when I did my research and collected the photos and information, and unfortunately, I have lost the names of any text sources I used. I know I struggled to find any information at all on it at the time, so thank you for the information. The photo errors you mention are the aerial photos, I assume, which as you can see from what I wrote, I also doubted belonged to Mzoura. Thanks for clarifying where they are. Please do get in touch as I would be interested in hearing about your connection to the site.Natalya Marquandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346107423803478723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029928495068968963.post-26113967976454285312019-07-25T12:02:42.680-05:002019-07-25T12:02:42.680-05:00Natalya, The French did not excavate Msoura, in 19...Natalya, The French did not excavate Msoura, in 1935-36 a Spanish archaeologist, Cesar Louis de Montalban, had 6 m deep trenches dug through the tumulus. He recorded nothing about his graverobbery. was arrested during the Spanish Civil war. Vandalism attracts more vandalism, and local followers of Islam drilled holes in the standing stones and broke them. You show pictures of Gavrinis in Brittany, and of the Avebury henge in England, which you confuse with Msoura.

Great to hear your teacher asked you to look it up for an exam!Natalya Marquandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346107423803478723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029928495068968963.post-90976227007392500612014-01-24T06:42:33.383-05:002014-01-24T06:42:33.383-05:00wow, this is so amazing and shocking at the same ...wow, this is so amazing and shocking at the same time! i'm from Morocco, and seeing/reading this for the first time would be like an English person hearing for the first time about the majestic Stonehenge. Why didn't i know about this before i had to look it up for an upcoming exam? I asked myself. It is true, most Moroccans do not know their own history, let alone ancient history, which is more enchanting to me. I applaud your work :)Rhazi Abdellahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955917842234022134noreply@blogger.com
