Teutoburg Engraving

The so-called Teutoburg Engraving, found during an archeological dig in 2003 by a team from the University of Freiburg, but not put on display until last year when the Neues Museum opened a new permanent exhibit on Germanic resistance to Roman occupation, has been causing a considerable stir online.

The stone, which measures three feet high and two feet in diameter, and is theorised to have been used as a tribal boundary marker, depicts what appears to be sequential images of a man transforming into a wolf.
