    There are hundreds of similar hill like burial mounds (moidam) of Ahom nobility spreading all across the upper Brahmaputra valley Assam, India.

    Absolute nonsense. Do your home work before creating and uploading please! Wow ! 19 tumulus discovered in Israel. Let's talk about that for a while. Many burial mounds were built in western Europe, particularly in Germany, Belgium and France. The TOTAL burial mounds in all these three countries number less than three thousand. We spend well over a minute talking about Scandinavian tumulii (there are estimated around five thousand). Denmark has approximately 20,000 burial mounds, quite impressive eh ? "There are also several mounds located in The British Isles, dozens of mounds exist in Orkney, Yorkshire, Oxfordshire, Sussex, and Suffolk. However the most famous two are in Ireland." (move on from Britain). Now, here's the thing. The UK is by FAR the epicentre of tumulus in the entire world. Everyone else is a complete also ran. There is estimated to be well over one hundred thousand tumulii built in the UK, of which well over forty thousand still exist to this day. They are everywhere, all over the country, and are generally around 5,000 years old. There are over a thousand in the vicinity of Stonehenge alone ! And by a long long way, most of them are in Wessex, and not in the areas you mentioned. I suggest you spend a few minutes on Google Earth scanning the area around Stonehenge, or The Dorset Curcus. Or Tidworth, or Avebury.

    Thank you for your comment. This was meant to be a generalized video about the existence of tumuli throughout the world. I did mention the fact that many mounds exist in the UK. They also existed in other places. I could certainly delve into those in the British isles in a separate video. Let me know if you have any suggestions or interesting sources of information.
