Hunebed van Kerguntuil, Trégastel Possibly 1939

This photograph by Jan Lanting captures the Hunebed van Kerguntuil, its stone slabs bearing ancient marks. Notice the carefully inscribed crescent shapes adorning one of the stones. These are not mere decorations; they are symbols, perhaps lunar, evoking cycles of life, death, and rebirth. Consider how similar markings appear in various cultures across time—from Neolithic rock carvings to modern symbolic representations. The crescent, universally recognized, bridges eras and geographies, carrying a shared human fascination with celestial rhythms and the mysteries of the night. The enduring presence of the crescent motif reflects a deep-seated psychological need to connect with natural cycles and understand our place within the cosmos. This symbol, passed down through generations, continues to resonate, reminding us of humanity's timeless quest for meaning and connection. It reveals how we are bound to our ancestors through a powerful language of symbols that transcends time.
