Centuries-old warnings emerge from riverbed as Europe faces historic drought
Miami Herald ^ | 8/12/2022 | ASPEN PFLUGHOEFT

Water levels have dropped in major rivers across Europe as the region suffers under a historic drought. In those dry riverbeds, centuries-old warning messages have emerged, locals report. The “horrifying” boulders are known as “Hungersteine,” or “Hunger Stones,” local German reporter Olaf Koens said in an Aug. 11 tweet. One of these stones is embedded in the Elbe River, which runs from the mountains of Czechia through Germany to the North Sea, POLITICO journalist Aitor Hernández-Morales tweeted the same day.

The stone, dating back to a drought in 1616, is once again visible in the dry riverbed, Hernández-Morales said. The warning reads, “Wenn du mich seehst, dann weine” – “If you see me, weep.” “Hunger stones” like this one were used as “hydrological landmarks” across central Europe, NPR reported when the stones last surfaced during a 2018 drought.

These stones are “chiselled with the years of hardship and the initials of authors lost to history,” a team of Czech researchers wrote in a 2013 study. “The basic inscriptions warn of the consequences of drought. It expressed that drought had brought a bad harvest, lack of food, high prices and hunger for poor people.” The stones commemorate historic droughts, the researchers said.

One of the warnings said ‘Biden is going to screw up the Economy!’, but I’m not sure if that was talking about Joe or an ancestor of his.

Severe, widespread droughts happen from time to time. It’s natural. For quite a few years, there have been increased methane leaks and weak spots in the earth’s magnetic field caused by periodical, extra outer core movement. More recently, we’ve seen increased sun activity.

Have courage. Don’t fear! Use your ingenuity to stay cool. Drill deeper wells for water, and promote the building of new nuclear powered desalination plants and nuclear power plants. Use good, common sense agricultural technology.

All of this just adds more to the commies grand poopa that we are all going to die unless we cull 7.5 BILLION people by next summer. Otherwise all the lefties who are smart, rich, and are the world's current gods, unless the culling is done. We are done according to the left.

I finally caught on to the verses in Revelation of my Bible a few years ago. Chapter 25 in Matthew, the Sheep and Goats judgment. Christ will judge the Survivors of the seven-year Tribulation. Yes, there WILL be survivors. Christ will then judge those individuals. Those he puts on His RIGHT SIDE are going to be those who live, as humans, during the 1,000 Year Reign of Jesus Christ. Those He tells to go to the LEFT, He will tell, "I never knew you. Go into eternal hell." (Not exact, but I don't have my Bible here for a correct wording, but you get it, I hope.)

I got it that the GOOD GO TO CHRIST'S RIGHT HAND. The unrepentant who rejected Jesus Christ' FREE OFFER just by believing, well they will be sent down to hell. No chance to ever make it to Heaven. Sorry folks, but that is about all there is to it, otherwise repent and see the LORD up close, Face to Face, and be Heaven bound folks!!!

Don't waste the time you have left. We do not know when the voice of the Archangel will come and the blast of the trumpet, and the VOICE of the LORD JESUS CHRIST calling us home!!! Time does grow short folks. Very short. Everything the Bible tells us to be on the watch for are all coming together these days, conversing coming together at this time.

The Indians who built the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings...

You're still calling them Indians? They are Guardians now.

The so-called Guardians are currently in first place (but with the weakest record of any of the division leaders).
