Log Text: This place is also very interesting from a geomantic point of view. The huge erratic on the western side of the forest path has a very high energy level. There is a place with no time and space, next to 3 menhirs. There is incoming consciousness from the universe, a little east of the other big erratic. There is a dancing place. I found 2 places with crossing Energy Leys, N to S and W to E. Others found more. Beautiful site.

Bernisches Historisches Museum submitted by Megalithic89 on 16th Sep 2024. Site in Bern Switzerland.
This hand is the oldest bronze replica of a human body part known in Europe. The almost life sized hand was cast around 1450 BC and decorated with a golden bracelet. Together with a cloak pin, a hair spiral and a dagger, it was part of the grave goods accompanying a man aged between twenty-five and forty-five. The symbolic power of the hand and the noble metals indicate that the owner was a rich and powerful man in a royal or priesterly position. Found at Les Combette...
