The video explores the ancient structures known as dolmens, found across Europe. It suggests these were built by a less advanced branch of an earlier civilization with advanced knowledge. The video draws a curious parallel between dolmens and the animated TV show The Flintstones, questioning if the show's creators knew something about these ancient builders. It highlights unexplained features of dolmens, such as the massive dolmen of Menga in Spain, and discusses notable sites like Devira. Legends and alternative theories, including fairy tales associated with dolmens, are also examined.
