From Yahoo News: For sale: one megalithic tomb (if buyer passes muster).
BAGNEUX, France (AFP) -Pascal Normand has decided to sell his 5,000-year-old megalithic tomb, but he is being very choosy about who gets it.
"Ive got to feel that the buyer has a real passion for the monument, even if he decides not to open it to the public," Normand said about his dolmen -- a Neolithic tomb consisting of two or more upright stones with a capstone -- in Bagneux, western France.
No passion, no sale, he says.
To sweeten the deal, Normand is throwing in a bar and two apartments on the 2,300-square-metre (half-acre) plot, asking 1.5 million euros (1.8 million dollars) for the lot.
The dolmen, at 23 metres (75 feet), is the longest in France, Normand says, adding that it was classified as a historic monument in the 19th century by Prosper Merimee, the playwright and author who was also state archaeologist. [continue]
