Heightened background radiation found at dolmens and Great Pyramid. Granite is radioactive; some types more than others At dolmens, background radiation was found to be 4-6 times higher than surroundings Radon streaming was detected from certain rocks at sites like Avebury and its avenues
Researchers found heightened background radiation at several ancient sites. At dolmens, radiation measured 4-6 times higher than surrounding areas. The King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid contains radioactive Aswan granite, while radon streaming was detected at Avebury and its avenues. Interestingly, a road near the Rollright Stones showed elevated radiation from granite chips used in tarmac.
