Dragon-Cyclops divide follows parallel 44 geographic line. The divide between 'dragons' (cremators) and 'cyclops' (inumators) follows parallel 44 South of parallel 44 includes Portugal, Spain, Italy, south coast of France, Balkans, Greece, and Turkey These southern areas have cyclopean walls and practiced inumation
An intriguing geographic pattern: south of parallel 44 (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Balkans, Greece, Turkey) has cyclopean walls and intact burials. North of this line shows no cyclopean construction and practiced cremation. The theory suggests wood scarcity in southern Europe made cremation impractical there.
