Ce sunt „pietrele foamei” ce apar din fluvii când e secetă? Avertismentul transmis: „Dacă mă vezi, plângi” • Newsweek România

The so-called 'hunger stones' emerge from European rivers during droughts, serving as historical warnings about past famines. These stones, visible only when water levels drop significantly, bear inscriptions that document extreme low water events. The recent drought in Europe has revealed several of these stones, including a notable one on the Elbe River near Pirna, which dates back to 1707. Another significant stone near Děčín carries a grim message: 'If you see me, weep.' These artifacts remind future generations of the hardships caused by droughts and their impact on food supply and transportation. Many hunger stones are found along the Elbe, Danube, and Rhine rivers, with some dating back centuries.
