Those weird stone mushrooms sent on May 13, 2024 (12:36) by Lorisb. 20 comments, 185 views.

at 16mm, 1/320 f/9.0, ISO 100, hand held. Tarquinia, Italy.

Prima di descrivere la Necropoli Etrusca di Monterozzi a Tarquinia con le sue stupende tombe decorate vi presento queste magnifiche opere subito dopo l'ingresso alla necropoli, un vasto spiazzo ospita alcuni grandi funghi di pietra. Sono le tombe di età villanoviana (XI-VIII secolo), provenienti dalla vicina necropoli di Bruschi-Falgari. Si tratta di grosse pietre scavate all'interno, con coperchio, entro cui venivano poste le ceneri dei defunti e il corredo funebre. Gli Etruschi a differenza dei Villanoviani inumano i morti, costruendo dei letti funebri (all'interno delle tombe) e poi vi ponevano i corpi dei defunti. Tutto cio sarà il proseguo del racconto fotografico allinterno delle tombe di Montetozzi.

The main characteristic of the Villanovan culture, with precedents in the "Proto-Villanovian" (11th-5th centuries BC) of the final phase of the Bronze Age, were incineration burials, in which the ashes of the deceased were housed in an urn

Vertical in the foreground where the manufacture of the stone mushroom for funerary purposes can be appreciated.

amazing family urns... Entire generations could have lived here, not like today when a personal niche costs a fortune!
