In my cultural landscape I have chosen bronze age mounds. Bronze age mounds are hills that you put dead people in. They who had a lot of money (money wasn´t invented yet) or was a king/chieftain was put in a hollow logs, and they who had less "money" was burnt and put into vessels. Most mounds are covered with grass but from the beginning they were heap of stones. Every time I see a mound I think it is really cool that they have been able to build such a great stoneheap without an excavator. I have been inside a mound as well, "Lugnarohögen".
