Tumuli, also known as burial mounds or barrows, hold a significant place in European history. Found across various countries and regions, these ancient structures provide insight into the cultures and civilizations that once thrived. In Italy's Latium region, specifically in Rome and Cerveteri, lies the Banditaccia necropolis. This vast archaeological site is home to numerous tumuli dating back to Etruscan times. These impressive mounds serve as a testament to the rich heritage of this area. Moving further eastward, we come across Stanislau in East Galicia. Here, intricate engravings depict Tumuli or Mound Graves (Hugelgraber). These illustrations offer glimpses into the customs and rituals associated with burials during that era. Meanwhile, Carnac in Brittany, France showcases an original arrangement of stones from the 19th century. Reverend Samuel G. Green's French Pictures capture this unique sight near tumuli sites. The presence of these stones adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the already fascinating landscape. Venturing towards Asia, Gyeongju in South Korea boasts Tumuli Park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site housing tombs from Shilla monarchs. These royal resting places within their tumulus surroundings are a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Korean civilization. Sweden's Anundshog presents another captivating sight—a rune stone beside an ancient tumulus known as Anunds Hillock. This combination highlights both cultural practices such as runic inscriptions alongside burial traditions prevalent during that time period. Lastly, Stone Ships (Ship Settings) found near tumuli sites at Anundshog showcase yet another intriguing burial custom practiced by our ancestors. These ship-shaped arrangements add a touch of symbolism to these sacred grounds. From Europe to Asia and beyond—tumuli stand tall as silent witnesses to our collective pasts. They remind us of the diverse cultures, customs, and beliefs that have shaped our world.
