Visited #Zennor Quoit today. Spectacular location, but a bit of a walk. It is a #Neolithic burial chamber & was built 2500-1000 BCE. Archaeological evidence unearthed on the site indicates that it was used for the burial of bodies which were later cremated and removed and replaced with others.

Neolithic camp, what-is-now Serbia
Franchthi Cave in der Kalksteinwand an der Nordseite der Koiladha-Bucht birgt im Inneren eine der längsten durchgehenden Siedlungsgeschichten Griechenlands. Seit dem Jungpaläolithikum hinterließen hier Menschen über Zehntausende von Jahren Spuren - von einfachen Steinwerkzeugen und Muschelschmuck bis hin zu Keramik, Ackerbau und Viehhaltung. Heute ist die Höhle teilweise eingestürzt und von alten Grabungsschnitten durchzogen, verfügt aber über gute Informationstafeln, die den Ort nachvollziehbar erschließen.

Stonehenge tunnel plan officially scrapped after years of protests

Campaigners have been fighting proposals to build traffic tunnel under the world heritage site since 1994

In Finnish mythology, the thunder god Ukko wielded the hammer Vasara. This was probably originally a stone axe, as pagan Finns who discovered neolithic stone axes believed they were the weapons of Ukko left behind after a lightning strike. Shamans collected these stone axes, believing them to hold supernatural powers.

For today’s #StandingStoneSunday here’s yours truly at the Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland from last October. An amazing stone circle that was set up between 2900 and 2600BC. One version of folklore has it they are petrified giants who refused to convert to Christianity. #neolithic #isleoflewis #scotland #outerhebrides
