image credit In the small town of Jelling in Denmark there is a site with two ancient burial mounds, a church, and two rune stones, otherwise know as the Jelling Stones. There are several different types of monuments or statues that represent a passing of an affluent person, or rather a stone that marks the actual burial site.
The Jelling Stones were a bit different and represented a completely new transition because they represent Pagan Nordic culture and they mark the shift from Nordic beliefs to Christianity.
