Abstract
The article from Science News discusses the discovery of over 600 engraved stones from Stone Age ritual sites in Denmark, depicting sun and plant motifs. Researchers suggest that the intentional burial of these stones around 4,900 years ago may have been linked to a volcanic eruption based on ice core evidence. Archaeologists view these stones as a form of prayer or invocation for the return of the sun. [Extracted from the article]
