Megaliths and Mounds Make "Mega" Connections between World Language and Science

I am a Fund for Teachers Fellow and French teacher who is obsessed with megaliths and mound-building cultures in Western Europe. How are the neolithic structures in France, Ireland, and Scotland connected? Are they the ancestors of the mound builders in the Americas? What knowledge of physics, architecture, and horticulture are recorded in the structures and artifacts of these sophisticated civilizations? How can we use this wisdom to persevere during climate change?
