 Advanced Audio Blog S2 #2 - Top 10 Finnish Tourist Destinations: Burial Site of Sammallahdenm | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2:41

Don't forget to stop by FinnishPod101.com for more great Finnish Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Formal ---- Sammallahdenmäen hautausmaa Sammallahdenmäen hautausmaa on peräisin pronssiajalta ja se koostuu yli 30 erilaisesta graniitista valmistetusta hautakummusta. Alue sijaitsee syrjäisellä kukkulalla Suomessa Rauman ja Tampereen välillä. Kun alue otettiin käyttöön yli 3000 vuotta sitten, se sijaitsi rannikolla, mutta maa on kohonnut vuosien varrella, joten nykyään paikka sijaitsee kilometrien päässä rannikolta. Hautausmaa on merkittävä, koska se kertoo meille paljon siellä tuhansia vuosia sitten eläneestä sivilisaatiosta ja heidän hautajaisrituaaleistaan ja muista tärkeistä uskonnollisista ilmiöistä. Hautakummut on tehty kivestä ja ne on koottu kivisten tai puisten alustojen päälle aluetta reunustaville jyrkänteille. Hautakumpujen sisällöistä on käynyt ilmi, että käytössä oli sekä hautaus että polttohautaus, ja että erilaisia esineitä haudattiin vainajien mukana. Arkeologit ovat löytäneet todistusaineistoa, jonka mukaan alueelle kuolleensa haudanneet ihmiset olivat auringonpalvojia, ja että alue luultavasti valittiin hautapaikaksi sen takia, että se nauttii auringonvalosta aamusta iltahämärään. Sammallahdenmäki on Suomen suurin hautakumpualue, ja UNESCO lisäsi sen maailmanperintöluetteloon vuonna 1999. Kaivaukset alueella aloitettiin vuonna 1891, jolloin löydettiin ensimmäiset neljä hautakumpua. Hautakumpuja on enemmän kuin alueella viimeisten tuhansien vuosien aikana tunnetusti eläneitä sivilisaatioita, eivätkä arkeologit ole vielä onnistuneet yhdistämään Sammallahdenmäen hautaamisia mihinkään erityiseen alueelta löytyneeseen siirtokuntaan. ----Formal English---- The Burial Site of Sammallahdenmaki dates back to the Bronze Age and is made up of more than thirty different burial cairns carved from granite. The site sits on a remote hill in Finland between the cities of Rauma and Tampere. When the site was originally set up more than three thousand years ago it was on the coast, but the land has risen over the years, so now it is several miles from the coast. The burial site is significant because it tells us a lot about the human civilization living there thousands of years ago, including the funerary rites and other important aspects of religion. The cairns are made of stone, and they sit on top of stone or wood cists on cliffs overlooking the area. The contents of the cairns indicate that both inhumation and cremation were used in burial, and a number of grave goods were also buried with the dead. Archeologists have uncovered evidence that the people who buried their dead there were sun worshipers, and the site was probably selected because it is touched by sunlight from dawn until dusk. Sammallahdenmaki is the largest cairn site in the country, and UNESCO added it to its list of World Heritage Sites in 1999. Excavation at the site started in 1891 when the first four cairns were uncovered. There are more cairns than the number of known civilizations living in the area over the last several thousand years, and archeologists have yet to link the burials at Sammallahdenmaki with any particular settlement in the area. --------------------------- Learn Finnish with FinnishPod101!
