Bronze age cairn - Aremark - Norway

 

Bronze age cairn - about 3000 years old

In the Bronze Age was the custom to bury the dead in Monumentale rockeries on the hilltops.

The burial coffin - it is most often only one - located directly

on the rock in the middle of the cairn.

It's built of stone slabs and often hide a burned funeral.

The gifts to the dead are rarely preserved.

 

From today's hiking to Signalen

This is a charming little round at fairly narrow paths - and

some fine viewpoints against Asprekfjorden and Aspern.

 

 

Then there was the great stone

with broad and mossy back

which was a secret friend.

By it I was always confident.

 

There I could cry and laugh.

It knew and understood everything

and never cared about

how words fell.

 

Unwavering. Big and dumb.

The same sun and rain.

How well I comprehend them

which made themselves gods of stone
