Visiting the Callanish Stones

Thanks, Walter. I googled "Saxony-Anhalt stonehenge" and came up with over a thousand hits, of which I've only checked two. (Now, I will really need to visit Germany... when do I get to do this, I wonder? Checking sad bank-book... realizing it may be a while.)

This is gorgeous.... The Nebra Disk.

Ehem, the Nebra Disl is mentioned on my linl as well: that's the source, all the others refer to :wink:

Nice summary HERE.

Yes all seem to be discussing the same source, however, I think I found the prettiest picture.

Those gold cone heads... just goes to show that fiction can never overcome "fact" for its ability to truly amaze. Logrithms? Eyikes.

The Nebra Disc will be in an exhibition next month (which is co-ordinated by a friend) in Manheim, Germany:

piffka :
'haare auf den zaehnen haben' =
'to have hair ON her teeth' (usually reserved in german for a tough woman)

it was thought that hair was a sign of great manlyhood, so a woman considered 'manly' - tough, brave, standing up to a man - was described as having 'hair on her teeth'.
this was not considered an insult but more as showing approval for her being tough. hbg

walter :
in my younger years my friends and i quite often roamed around northern-germany , particularly the lueneburg heath. in our sparetime - and to burn of excess youthful steam - we piled up many of those stoneheaps !
i hope some day a tablet will be erected in our honour ? hbg

Sure. If not, we could do it the next time you're over here together :wink:
