Time has altered the land around it, but Lanyon Quoit in Cornwall, England, still commands attention. Built in the Neolithic period, "The Giant"s Table" offers a rare chance to consider how early settlers marked their presence. Formed by upright stones holding a massive capstone of about 13,000 kilograms, the monument likely served as a communal burial chamber.
