"I lit three candles and stood awhile, to let my eyes accustom themselves to the dim light. There was everything, just as the last Bronze Age man had left it, four thousand years before. A light brownish dust covered all. Three beads of stone, bone implements made from Red Deer antlers, and many fragments of decayed pottery. On little raised recesses in the wall were flat stones, on which reposed the calcinated bones of young children." - Robert Lloyd Praeger (Irish naturalist, writer and librarian, a member of the excavation crew of the Carrowkeel tombs in 1911)
Quite a spooky description... 👻 ...but come on, it's a tomb, so what would you expect! Those places will never cease to amaze me, forgotten sites of ancient power that, in defiance of their initial purpose, resonate with peaceful, gentle energies and conceal a lot of mysteries. #tombs #carrowkeel #megalithic #ireland #indianajones #pangean #adventure #placesofpower
Oh you beautiful! Carrowkeel Passage Tomb Complex, an ancient passage tomb cluster located on the hills called Bricklieve (An Bricshliabh, 'the speckled hills') in south County Sligo. There are 14 cairns located at different positions on the hilltops with a further group of 6 cairns extending west towards Keshcorran Mountain, which is also capped with a large cairn. All the monuments were built in the 4th millennium BC, during the Neolithic era. The Carrowkeel monuments are protected as National Monuments and are considered one of the "big four" passage tomb cemeteries in Ireland, along with Carrowmore, Brú na Bóinne and Loughcrew. Beautiful view can seen from the top of the hills on a clear day and there are numerous caves located around the area.
Excavations in 1911 led to an array of findings including animal bones, cremated human remains, human bones, and tools and pottery from the Neolithic Age. The particular type of crude pottery found in the Irish passage tombs is called Carrowkeel Ware, having first been recorded in the Carrowkeel Monuments. Some pottery has also been identified from the Bronze Age. #tomb #tombraider (energy-wise) #carrowkeel #ireland #megalithictomb #archaeology #placesofpower #indianajones #pangean #adventures
Shipibo designs and art, known as Kené, express an energy matrix woven through all of creation. Inspired by nature and observation of the environment it not only is rooted in the shamanistic visions but, more importantly, in the profound connection with the ecosystem the Shipibo-Conibo tribes are settled in. As such, Kené is not just an art style but it does belong to the ecosystem and is present, in the first place, in plants and animals throughout the Amazon basin.
