The basis of the whole megalithic tradition is the belief that there is a close relationship between living with a dead on human welfare, cattle and agriculture. There is also a belief that all good or prestige of a relative who has died can be focused on the monuments erected to become the medium of respect, becoming the throne of arrival, as well as a symbol for the dead.
