The water level of the Valdecañas Reservoir in the Spanish province of Cáceres has dropped  due to drought revealing the remains of a 7,000-year old megalithic monument consisting of around 100 standing stones—some up to six feet tall—arranged around an oval open space. The Dolmen de Guadalperal was excavated and studied in the 1920s, drowned in the 1960s, and dry again in 2019. It may have originally been an enclosed space and is possibly 2000 years older than Stonehenge in Britain.
