Description

Familiar location, different photo. Same same, but different.

Location info: There is a "trench" right next to the treeline in the middle of the image. I wondered what it was built for but then somebody told me that this is actually an archaeological site where they dig for remains of copper mining from 4.000 years ago. The copper that they extracted there was also used to forge the "Himmelscheibe von Nebra" (Nebra sky disk). The disk itself was found near the City Nebra in Germany...about 600km away from this spot.

"The Nebra sky disk features the oldest concrete depiction of the cosmos et known from anywhere in the world. In June 2013 it was included in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register and termed "one of the most important archaeological finds of the twentieth century." Source: Wikipedia
