Kong Humbles grav, Neolithic dolmen in Langeland Municipality, Denmark
Kong Humbles grav is a Neolithic stone monument in Langeland measuring about 48 meters long and 8 meters wide. Around 77 border stones surround a central burial chamber beneath the ground.
The monument dates to the Funnel Beaker culture period between 3500 and 2800 BCE. This era was shaped by farming people who built large stone structures for burying their dead.
The site bears the name of a king, showing how important such monuments were to early communities. Visitors today can see how ancestral people carefully arranged stones to honor their dead.
The site lies about 400 meters from Humble Church and is freely accessible year-round. The stones remain in their original form and you can view the site without restrictions.
In the 1700s, diggers here found bones that locals initially mistook for giant remains. It later turned out they were actually cow bones.
