Weekly #3- You will be designing your own megalithic structure. Use photographs of the JC campus and draw your designs onto them using your stylus and tablet programs. You may use any type of megalithic structure you like, but you must write a short explanation along with your visual images discussing the importance of the structure and what it represents.

  

  
       The tribe that built this megalith is the Grace tribe. They are very peaceful people. The megalith is a stone circle and is also a burial chamber for the tribe's chief. It is here that the tribe used to perform sacrifices. The tribe's religion was not very complicated. They believed in ancient Greek gods and goddesses. They also believed that performing their sacrifices that were directed to the gods and goddesses would let them have a happy after-life.
       The sacrifices were long processes. The tribe would mostly sacrifice animals that they had found and were already dead. The one that performed the sacrifice was the tribe's chief. The first thing he would do is bring the animal to the center of the circle where the chamber was located. They would then perform a tribal dance around the circle and the chief would sprinkle sea salt on the animal's body that would then be lying on the ground. While the rest of the tribe was still dancing around the stone circle, the chief would then lift the animal to the center stone. This would end the sacrifice. The tribe stopped performing sacrifices after the chief died. The Grace tribe believed that this was a sign from the gods and goddesses that they should stop performing sacrifices, and the chief was buried beneath the center stone.
