@ me if you’re looking for peculiar places to visit near you

The Almendres Cromlech near Évora in Portugal is an 8,000-year-old stone circle, the biggest in the Iberian Peninsula. The site is on an east-facing hill. From there, only one mountain gap is visible, and during the equinoxes, the sun sets directly in that gap. There’s also a menhir at the hilltop that has a notch in which the spring equinox sunrise can be seen.

If you’re ever looking for ancient sites to explore around where you’re at, I’d gladly give you some recommendations

The Kofun tombs, preserved for over 1,600 years, are now surrounded by modern-day Osaka. The colossal keyhole-shaped Daisen Kofun is specifically oriented toward the sunrise at the winter solstice. It is one of the three largest ancient tombs in the world, alongside the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in China.
