Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber Tomb

Bryn Celli Ddu is a tomb located on the Isle of Anglesey in Wales.

The site dates back to the Stone Age, around 3000 BC. It was opened and excavated around 1929.

The mound was used as a burial chamber, and the experts claim it may have been built by farmers as a calendar and later used to store skeletons for the afterlife.

When the sun shines on the longest day of the year, the whole chamber lights up.

Many items have been found inside the tomb; for example, human remains were found inside, as well as quartz crystal and even some ancient flint arrowheads, small beads, and even sea shells.

You will notice there are flowers and shells inside. I think people bring them to pay respect to their ancestors.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
