BULL-TOTEM: HEADS OF FECUNDITY (UNIT 5 of 5)

Catalonia has a natural brave bull relief. It's an immensely giant prehistoric bull-totem that stand in north skirt of Mt. Montserrat (40 km. away from Barcelona city).  Casualy this very erosionated and cold sector of the catalonia's holy mountain offers for ever so huge natural profile of brave bull in challenging attitude -as the ancestral URUS (Bos Primigenius)

TOTEM BULL RITUALS BASED IN MY OWN DISCOVERIES IN SOUTH PYRENEES

HEADS OF FECUNDITY

In the highlands of Solsona district I found this bull profile worked in stone, destined to serve as "Totem-Head" over the Dolmen Cuca cover slab.  The Bull-Totem misionaries made its neck at as angle of 90º, and the curved nape of the neck almost with parallel edges. 

This stone has its own stability.  The builders carved it corasely, but it should be compemented by adding horns.  Its size is in proportion with the dolmen room that it has underneath.  Further away from NW. of Mt. Montserat, in Pallars Sobira district, I discovered another very big natural rock that was a Bull-Totem sculpture (Bos Primigenius). A strong cultural charge was projected to the NW. of Montserrat for an itinerant religious people.

A NATURAL ROCK THAT LOOK LIKE A HEAD

MY SCALE MODEL OF THE MOUMET IN VILA-DE-LLANERA, AND TWO SIDES OF THE SAME "BULL-HEAD" PROFILE:  This head profile was sculpted to serve a Bul-Totem for Dolmen Cuca  where I discovered it.   Its smoother surface was just visible in the ground.  Note:  Its neck at a 90º angle, and its two curved back edges are excavated almost in parallel lines. 

They are rough adged due to heavy blows  round the edges, whilst being sculpted. Despite the discovery of human remains in many megalithic dolmens, it would be an over-simplification to see them simply as burial houses. The oldest are ever large barrouws or tumuli.

Now Eeverybody will be able to understand what initially stimulated these enormous efforts, ...and at last what was able to justiffy why was constructed so longs barrows in prehistoric times.

The later ones they are round, and these in turn can be subdividen into at least thirteen types. Long barrows they show the totemic bull´s body as gigantic, and designed for particular acoustic properties (resonant frequencies, as "tunel effects")

I also studie the archeologic tomb of St. Peters in Vatican

I am between the adventurous finders of antiques who many years ago they risk all kind of dangers in exotic lands (or the man who were serching temples or looking for one tribe), and the present archeologist of rigid norms, in whose financed missions they behave as in front of a musical score, because in spite of being licensed, the team research has everything previously sounded the place and is work is like inside an orquesta where everything was codified, tematized, etc.; so that they do not have margin for the risk,... and the less for own imagination. But I am thankful to them, because is its pretty 3D virtualizations. The archeologist, of course they are able to see my defects, but not his.

I belive the megalithic idea of  sunlight insemining Mother-Earth, WITH LIFE, which I capture graphically with this photo.  Searching to obtain this effect, I only moved two little stones in ithe back ground Dolmen Cuca.  There is a small ritual hole, because its old entrance was destroyed many years ago. 
In the ground in front of the dolmen ,stands a very big oval stone which covered the Dolmen Cuca. I DISCOVERED:
HOW it was the first god of inhabitants of euroopean societies;
HOW Montserrat mountain inspired the Bull-Totem first devotion,
HOW they belive possible it´s force the image for own benefit;
HOW the efforts that people made to reproduce "alive" temples;
HOW they made "sound-totems" in stone bull form;
WHERE was the place of birth of such religious prehistoric "science";
HOW the idea arrived at Europe, and by where happened;
THE origin of the celebrations of Christmas and St. John;
THE origin of the cruel games with bulls

(SEVERAL MAPS)  ABOVE:  Salt mines alignment in coincidence with the three  Bull-Totem concentrations (SE-NW).   In this far NW. from Montserrat exist the last megalithic chambers of the South Pyrenees.
BELOW: Between the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic ocean, the Bull-Totem missionaries they are ables to cross so big mountain ranger by the eastern coast, but they never search any NW pass in the Cantabric sea (Western Pyrenees coast).

SPANISH TEXT ABOUT FIRST
BULL-TOTEM PROJECTION

Para información de los arqueólogos del futuro -ya que confio muy poco en la perspicacia de los que me son contemporáneos-, dejaré especificado que la proyección hacia el N.W. de Montserrat no está en el numeroso núcleo de megalitos diseminados alrededor de Súria (Bages), en la cuenca del rio Cardener, sino que se puede seguir su proyección hacia sol poniente gracias a los mucho mejor vinculados a Montserrat al estar situados más al sur de dicha comarca del Bages.

Se trata de los alineados megalitos que se conservan a partir del llamado Jaciment de Vilaclara, Torre dels Moros, y Necrópolis de can Paleta. Y luego, ya más alejados en la misma dirección N.W., están los de Can Marquet y la llamada Necrópolis de Coromines, siguiendo: St. Andreu d'Aguilar, Serra Gallarda, Cau de l'Aguineu y Petjades Fosils; a partir del cual ya se comunican con los muy numerosos dólmenes y cistas de las tierras altas del sur de la comarca del Solsonès. Es en el sur de ésta comarca donde aún siguen muchos vestigios de los ejemplares de Toro-Totem petrificados y mejor conservados, los cuales, repito, incluyeron "cabezas cornudas" todas ellas picads con un mismo diseño "homologado".

TOTEM-BULL  STONE "HEAD"  NEAR  PUJOL  VILLAGE (PALLARS SOBIRA-CATALONIA). 

It´s the third dolmens concentration contemporaneus and with the same constructive furore in NW of Mt. Montserrat. 
There exist a prehistoric habitat -never studiet yet- in a thick forest, wich is crossed by a sinuous alignment of menhirs and many others big ritual stone during the orehistoric times.  The most suggestive one, is this petrified natural Bull-Head, today very erosionated.  Undubtely it was a totemistical ritual center. 

I also found near a big dolmen with monolithic slab cover (8 m diameter) never published before, and also a Bull-Totem head (like the Dolmen Cuca one), although, its "back" was never finished.
