W. G. Sebald, Campo Santo
Die mächtigsten Steine werden in der Regel über die Gräber der Reichsten gerollt, denn von ihnen ist am ehesten zu befürchten, daß sie ihren Nachfahren das Erbe nicht gönnen und daß sie trachten könnten, was sie eingebüßt haben, sich wiederzuholen. Die gewaltigen Blöcke, die man sicherheitshalber aufrichtet über ihnen, sind natürlich, mit selbstbetrügerischer List, getarnt als Monumente tiefer Verehrung. -- Eine Schwarz-Weiss-Aufnahme eines Friedhofs mit dicht gedrängten Grabdenkmälern. Im Vordergrund stehen verschiedene viktorianische Monumente, Obeliske, Stelen und Steinkreuze. In der Bildmitte tritt ein Sockel mit der Inschrift «HAMILTON» hervor. Der dunkle, leicht bewölkte Himmel erzeugt eine dramatisches, melancholisches Lichtstimmung.

The allée couverte of Keravel in Roscoff (Finistère) was over 20m long with a 3.5m long lateral entrance passage. By early C20 sections had been robbed and early descriptions saw it as 3 separate dolmens. In 1943 these remains were completely destroyed. #TombTuesday.

#TombTuesday

The Tymbos of #Marathon is a vaulted tomb where the 192 #Athenian soldiers who died at the #battle were buried. The burial monument, also known as the “Soros”, is the reminder of the epic victory of the #Greek forces against the “unbeatable” #Persians. #History

A portal to a darker world beneath the living ground. The haunting presence of Cuween Hill Chambered Cairn, Orkney. #TombTuesday

Small entranceway leading into a chambered cairn. A worn path leads to the entrance through grass while the ground above is covered in grass and flowers. Blue sky above.

Bore da / good morning all 👋

For #TombTuesday (where did Monday go?) - one of the axe-polishing stones inside West Kennett long barrow 😮, where people sharpened stone axes during construction (vertical groove, left)

It's also rather a haunting face...

📷 My own, Sunday

An old stone in a dark chamber, with natural holes looking like eyes and a mouth

A #StandingStoneSunday that's more a #TombTuesday cry for help. This is stone 1 of Mougau-Bihan allee couverte in Brittany. I can't see engravings that should be visible. See other pics for what should be there and example from elsewhere in this tomb. Stone 1 has me puzzled. Help!

A photo of an orthostat supporting a capstone inside a passage grave. The stone is apparently engraved with shapes interpreted as a paddle and two small half-spheres which are described as "breasts" - but could be something else (moon and sun??). These engravings are impossible to see.

Plan of the tomb showing the location if stone 1 within the passage and illustration of the "breasts" and paddle.

Example of another stone in the grave showing three paddles.

A very late entry for this week’s #TombTuesday and one of the fine collection of tombs found in St Oswald’s Church in Ashbourne. #Derbyshire

#TombTuesday a Bronze Age burial cairn exposed at the edge of a busy path at the Wick on Skomer Island.

The large stony cairn is sited at the very edge of the prehistoric field system, commanding epic sea views across the Pembrokeshire seas

📷 My own, today

It's #TombTuesday, so let's return to Paisley Abbey, our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek, to have a look at its two royal tombs.

Unfortunately neither tomb survived the Reformation. The first was reconstructed in the 19th century from architectural fragments and an unknown effigy from the building. 🧵(1/4)
