This table, while useful, doesn't really match the style of the other entries.

Also, and perhaps more importnatly, under the entry for Glauberg, the Era is marked: Early Celtic Age. I am afraid that I have no idea what is meant by this. I am not one of these "The celts did not exist" people, but assuming there is validity to the concept of a prehistoric Celtic Identity, it would have spanned the Late Bronze age to the Late Iron Age (and possibly earlier). To that end, I don't quite get the reference... could someone make this more specific to a generally accepted prehistoirc period?

There is a similar problem with the entry for Grave fields, Young Stone Age... is that Neolithic?

Many thanks and good work. 75.170.51.229 (talk) 20:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Myths related to barrows

To say the least we have banshees, "queens of the barrows"... There are bound to be others... Why there's no mention of them?

Find the information, make a section, add the information, add a reference. If it isn't referenced, don't add it. --86.146.194.32 17:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of Judean Kings Who Ruled From Jerusalem Who May Have Been Honored With Tumuli

In response to anonymous editor on 28 January 2006 "130.13.147.5":

The original author of this article seems to have overlooked some rather important details. First, there are 23 kings (including Saul and David, which the original author left out) that ruled in Jerusalem, and an additional 19 that ruled in Israel (which, during the time, was separate from Judah). Second, the original author implies (by omitting Saul and David and, then, eliminating Jehoram and Zedekiah, while completely ignoring the kings of Israel) that the 19 tumuli that were found correspond with the 19 kings he/she thinks should have them, thus making his/her apparent interpretation (as well as the details) of the Bible appear correct, yet the author does not establish that the stories are true, other than by implication.

Here's the relevant list:

David
Solomon
Rehoboam
Abijam-Abijah
Asa
Jehoshaphat
Jehoram (not honored at his death; see article)
Ahaziah (skip his mommy, Athaliah; see article)
Joash
Amaziah
Azariah-Uzziah
Jotham
Ahaz
Hezekiah
Manasseh
Amon
Josiah
Shallum-Jehoahaz
Eliakim-Jehoiakim
Coniah-Jehoiachin
Mattaniah-Zedekiah (probably not honored; see article)

It is renowned archaeologist Gabriel Barkay who has made the association between these tumuli & the Biblical text. Note that all 21 were not necessarily honored with tumuli, & not necessarily all tumuli survived the past 2,500 years--Funhistory 03:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added parenthetical remarks by Jehoram (#7) & Zedekiah (#21) since the Biblical record suggests these 2 kings did not receive a tumulus ceremony; it's just a coincidence that there were 19 Judean kings who ruled in Jerusalem, & 19 tumuli near Jerusalem.--Funhistory 04:07, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Jehoiachin is imprisoned in Babylon for 37 years; although he was released, I seriously doubt that he would have been allowed to return to Palestine. Nyttend 04:34, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Korean Tumulus

Korea holds much of East Asian Tumulus and special attention is needed. --Korsentry 01:23, 19 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by KoreanSentry (talk • contribs)

Common FP of tumulus in Denmark available

Hi,

I just wanted to inform the editors of this page, that a photo of a tumulus in Denmark has just been featured on Commons. I am not terribly knowledgable about tumuli, but thought that it could be relevant for inclusion in this article. In case it is considered relevant for inclusion here, I might try to nominate it for featured picture here as well. As the creator I feel biased, and I would rather prefer if an independent editor would decide for possible inclusion.

Cheers from cold Denmark, --Slaunger (talk) 08:52, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tumuli in Poland

How about Krakus Mound and some others listed in pl:Kurhan? 149.156.201.210 (talk) 08:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tumulus and Kurgan

I am suggesting the merge of Kurgan to Tumulus since they are covering the same concept. Kurgan is just another word for the same idea. There is a lot of redundancy in the two articles and quite some confusion because of this in the related articles. If the tumulus article becomes too large, it can be nicely broken down by different cultures, locations etc. as in Sarmatian Tumuli, Thracian Tumuli, Bulgarian Tumuli etc. --Codrin.B (talk) 19:05, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support per above. --Codrin.B (talk) 22:20, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just for the record, I support.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); February 24, 2012; 18:40 (UTC)

I would have to disagree with a merge.Tumulus is as I understand it, a general term for burial mounds everywhere while Kurgan is a cultural term refering to the people of Haplogroup R1 who were the earliest users of this type if inhumation.
