The Hunger Stones Of Czechia
In 2018, a terrible drought parched the Elbe river as this area suffered record heatwaves. As the water level of the river dropped, frightening messages carved into rock were revealed. These 700 year old inscriptions reminds us of the brutal wars raged over the precious resource known as water.
One of the inscriptions reads:
"If you again see this stone, so will you weep, so shallow was the water in the year 1417."
The Hunger stones are among the oldest hydro-logical landmarks in Central Europe.
