**Through Antequera's Dolmens: A Journey to the Origins of Trade**
Five thousand years ago, in the shadowed valleys of Antequera, Neolithic builders erected colossal megaliths not just as tombs, but as seals for a sinister pact. The Pact of the Megaliths bound the spirits of the elite to guard a forbidden knowledge—secrets of the afterlife that could grant immortality or unleash eternal curses. Whispers carved into the stones of Menga, Viera, and El Romeral hint at a ritual commerce with the dead, where offerings were exchanged for divine power. But something went wrong: the pact shattered, leaving a trail of cryptic symbols and unexplained phenomena that have baffled archaeologists for centuries. Recent excavations have uncovered aligned engravings pointing to a hidden chamber where the pact's true terms were inscribed. Local legends speak of shadows moving at dusk near La Peña de los Enamorados and strange echoes in El Torcal, signs that the ancient guardians still enforce their vow. You are the only one who can solve this prehistoric conspiracy. Starting from the heart of the site, decipher the stone code across the dolmens and natural monuments. Outwit the spectral watchers, track the ritual path, and expose the pact's shattering truth before the curse claims you.

The Megaliths of Antequera: A Crossroads of Exchanges
The Antequera Dolmens Site, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2016, is a unique monumental complex of prehistoric Europe. Comprising the dolmens of Menga, Viera, and the tholos of El Romeral, these structures were built between the Late Neolithic and Copper Age (approximately 3800-2200 BCE). Their architecture and orientation, respectively towards the Peña de los Enamorados and the Torcal massif, bear witness to a profound relationship between the communities of that era and their natural and cosmic environment.
Far from being mere tombs, these megaliths were centers of complex social and spiritual life. Archaeological discoveries reveal that the deceased were often interred with prestige objects (fine ceramics, imported flint tools, greenstone jewelry). The concept of 'commerce of the dead' refers to the acquisition and exchange of these goods that accompanied funerary rituals, highlighting the existence of sophisticated long-distance trade networks and the importance of social status even after death.
