Lungphun culture (megalithic culture) hi khawvel ram dang chu sawi loh, kan chhehvela hnamdangte – Khasi, Naga etc. te hian an ching hle a, an hnam nunphungah pawh pawimawhna a nei nasa hle nghe nghe a ni. Keini Mizo te ai mah hian a bik takin Khasi ho chuan an nunphungah awmzia an neih tir nasa niin a lang a, chuvangin lungphun hi an uar a, ngah pawh an ngah hle reng a. Heng lungphun te hi hriatrengna lungphun a nih piah lamah an chhungte thi tawh ruh dahna atan te leh thildang atan an hmang thin a ni. 

Archaeology-ah hian zirna peng hrang hrang zingah megaliths lam hi tunlaia langsar pawl tak a ni a. ‘Megaliths’ tih hi Greek tawng ‘mega’ leh ‘lithos’ atanga lak a ni a. Mega tih chu ‘lian(large)’ tih a ni a, lithos hi ‘lung’ (stone)’tihna a ni.1 Tichuan, megaliths tih chu lungphun lian sawina a ni mai a, a mal din aimahin huhova lungphun emaw phun tlar tuarh ang hi megaliths tih hian a hawi mah zawk a, a mal din (single upright stone) hi ‘monolith’ ti a sawi a ni thung. 

Megaliths (lungphun) hi khawvel hmun hrang hrangah hmuh tur a awm a, India hmarchhakah pawh hian a bikin Meghalaya ah hian a tam leh zual. Khawvelah hian Lungphun hi chi hrang hrang(types) a awm a, a phun dan a zirin hming hran an put tir vek a, chung zinga a tlanglawn te chu hengte hi a ni – 
a) Menhir – lung phun pangngai/ a tung, hei hi lung mal din a kawk deuh 

b) Alignment- hei hi a huho/a intlara lungphun sawina a ni. 

c) Stonehenge – a kuala lungphun 

d) Dolmen (table stone/stone seats) –a bawk a phun e) Cairns – lung chhun pawn (stone heaps) 
 
  Heng bakah hian phun dan chi hrang hrang a la awm nual a, mahse hengte hi a tlangpui an ni. A phun dan a zir hian a awmzia a danglam thin a, society-ah pawh an pawimawhna a inang lo bawk. Heng a chunga Type hrang hrang kan sawi atang hian Mizorama kan neih ve te han tarlang ila : 

a) Menhir – hei hi chu Mizo lungphun pangngai hi a ni a, a tung chho a phun ho hi a ni. Mizorama lungphun tam ber hi ‘Menhir’ a ni.

 b) Alignment – Lung phun tlar ho hi an ni mai a. Hmanlaiin pasaltha te hriatrengnan lung an phun tlar thin a, chung chu ‘Hranglungphun’ an ti. (eg.

Hetianga lung phun tlar hi Alignment chu a ni. 

c) Dolmen – hei hi a bawk/tlu a phun a ni a, a hnuaiah kamtu a awm thin. Mizoramah chuan Champhai Zote tlanga ‘Sikpui Lung’ ang hi a ni. A phek zawngin leiah an phah a, a hnuaiah lungthu pathum in an kam kang a. Hetiang hi khawvel hmun dangah pawh hmuh tur tam tak a awm a, amaherawhchu an phun chhan (ideology) erawh a danglam thung.

Chuvangin lungphun(megaliths) hi history chhuina atana thil tangkai tak a ni reng a ni. Entirnan, Sikpui Lung chu Hmar ho kut pui khat ‘Sikpui Roui’an hman laia an phun thin a ni a, a phun dan pawh a awm thlap a ni.  

 Tin, Mizo te khan an lungphun reng rengah milem an ziak nasa hle a, ziah lohna (plain monument) pawh a awm tho bawk a.
