A giant Megalithic site you probable didn't know about in north-west of Morocco, North Africa. Last edited Fri Nov 27, 2015, 03:14 PM - Edit history (2)







The so called Cromlech de Mzoura or circle of Larache is one of the most famous and largest megalithic landmark of the north-west of Morocco, North Africa.



Mzoura (in Arabic means The Holy Place) can be found about 15 km south of the harbor of Asilah not far from Tangier. The elliptical-shaped tumulus at Mzora has 55 meters (177 feet) in diameter and is surrounded by 167 stone monoliths, of which the tallest, is about 5m (3.2 feet) high.



The locals say that it has approximately 7 meter long stone root below the surface. The megaliths were hammered and polished by hand.

Their arrangement forms a perfect elliptic structure.













What was the name of this holy place long before the Arabs came?

The ancient site was excavated in 1939 by the French where a tomb was discovered under one of mounds



Inside the tomb photo taken in 1939 or so notice the spiral theme going on which we see on Malta, Spain, France, Ireland etc. I can not get this photo to load on DU but you can click on it see it

The most striking alignment of Mzoura stone circle is the main axis to the largest mountain on the horizon, and the east-west alignment of the ellipse marks the path to the setting equinoxes of spring and autumn.
