		The origins of the Pre-Germanic Bronze Age cultures: Although the new Germanic culture unified the cultures of northern Europe they already had many similarities before that, many of those cultures were highly influenced by the Urnfield culture, an Indo-European culture in central Europe from which the Celtic Hallstatt culture and many other Indo-European cultures descended.
		The Funnelbeaker culture inhabited roughly the same area as the later Germanic culture, this culture also built the so called "Hunebeds", which were megalithic tombs of large stones covered with earth, the "Funnelbeaker culture" has been named after the funnel-shaped beakers they created.
		Some historians believe that the Funnelbeaker culture was an Indo-European culture that was the result of a fusion of the native northern European culture and later Indo-European influences though most historians agree that the Funnelbeaker culture was the native (Pre-Indo-European) culture of northern Europe and that the Indo-European influences started much later.
