Geocache Description:



[SWE]: Den här typen av grav kallas domarring.
Den här 2000 år gamla domarringen i Stenebacka är 9 meter i diameter och består av 9 stenar.
Talet nio återkommer ofta i förhistoriska sammanhang.
Det omtalas att man vid templet i gamla Uppsala offrade nio av allt hankön, dvs nio män, nio tjurar, nio hingstar osv.
Schamanen Oden hänger i Världsträdet och efter 9 nätter uppenbarar sig tillvarons hemligheter för honom.
Givetvis ligger cachen 9 mil från min hemadress och placerades ut kl 09.00 på morgonen.

[ENG]: This 2000 years old grave type is called a judge's ring.
This one at Stenebacka is 9 meters in diameter and has 9 stones.
Ancient history is just teeming with references to number nine as a magic number.
Nine, as the highest single-digit number (in base ten), symbolizes completeness.
In Norse Mythology secrets are revealed to Odin after hanging on the World Tree for 9 nights.
There are nine major planets in the solar system, Beethoven wrote nine symphonies, and a cat is said to have nine lives. 'On cloud nine' means happy, euphoric or `high'.
Accordingly, the cache location is 9 miles (90 km) from my home address and was placed 09.00 AM.
