Показать описание
The mysterious Green Stone located at the Great Temple in Hattusa, Turkey, the former capital of the Hittite Empire, has perplexed researchers due to its unknown origins and unclear historical significance. It is believed to have held religious importance, but little is known about its true purpose. The stone's composition remains a mystery as well, although it is thought to be either jade or serpentine, both of which are common in the region. Despite these stones being widespread, the Green Stone is unique and has garnered attention due to its distinctiveness and remarkable preservation. For generations, locals have referred to it as the "wishing stone." #history #turkey #hittite #emeraldstone #archeology #ancientcivilization #ancientmystery

Serpentine. I always get a bad vibe from that stone. Jade doesn't really look like that.

No mystery. It’s an ornamental item in a garden. No magic just pretty.

I want to have a piece. Next time I bin there, I am willing to pick a piece of my hamer
