Hundreds of visigothic slate stones (whiteboards) in Western Castilla (Spain

[ertydfh110]

Hi again,

Thank you Ingemar for the links. I´ve read all of them. I know now how scandinavians did their burials 2000 years ago. 

Searching more about it I´ve found the following from Portugal:

At the bottom left there is a stelae from Braganca region. It says "These stelae resemble later funerary stones from Gotland Island". So they are quite related. But I´ve found that the symbols are very similar in many partf of Europe and also in some places in Asia. I´ve found this webpage with many similar symbols across the world:

For example this symbol was found in Bro, Gotland, Sweden:

The whirling wheel symbol appears in many cultures. Its meaning is about the rebirth of life, or life continue after death.

Regards.
