Devil's Stone of the Reversal

-

Devil's stone - a sculpture discovered in 1988 in Kontrewers near Mniowa. Recognized by archaeologists as one of the most interesting Polish archaeological monuments. It is depicted on two unidentified figures with horns, male (supporting to the side and holding a bent hand up) and female, which in the folk media were considered devils.

Because horns and dancers are similar to the Greek god of the Lord, the round form of the character may be a fir-tree crown, a known attribute of the Lord who overlaps or covers the horns.

The first Polish scientific interpretations of stone were connected with late medieval or early-modern ideas related to the beliefs of pagan Slavs. The latest theory links the find with the Neolithic cult of agriculture. According to her, the rites are represented by deities responsible for sowing and yielding.

The famous Däniken supporters found their way through the rituals of aliens.

Initially, the stone was buried, and over the past ten years it was spread in the ground. Dr. Gerard Gierliński, from the State Geological Institute in Warsaw, returned to the site, who reinterpreted the rites. In their view, they are very similar to Kokopelli's image - the fertility of the North American Hopi. "

After excavation of the boulder, it turned out that it was placed on a pedestal and arranged exactly on the east-west axis. The drawings were on the west side.

Today, the stone is in a pyramid-shaped glass display in front of the Municipality Office. Bibliography
