Funnel Beaker Culture around 6,000 years ago brought the Scandinavian region's first switch to agriculture and domesticated animals (sheep, goats, cattle), leading to a more sedentary lifestyle. With the new way of life came the region's first construction of houses, megalithic tombs (dolmens), and landscape-altering structures, a huge shift away from the highly mobile hunter-gatherer strategy of the Late Mesolithic.
A few years back I took my family to some Marriott resort with a water park in San Antonio for the 4th of July. Anyway, my wife wasn't feeling well one morning so I took all 7 of my kids to this cave which had like activities and all sorts of stuff. Well we entered and it was sunny and about 100 degrees. Just totally stifling hot. We went through the cave for about an hour which had a nice temp. When we exited it was strangely storming like an actual monsoon. The whole outside was flooding but was so much cooler than sunny and 100 degrees. We make it back to main store and restaurant place. Inside was about 50 hasidic jews. I bought a beer and went outside to stand with my kids and watch the rain while we waited for the rain to let up a bit. So my kids ask me about the jews inside. I look over and they partying with a capital P. Dancing, singing, clapping hands and jumping on tables. I started explaining to them about the jews negatively and was making fun of their crazy behavior. In the middle of a sentence A HUGE LIGHTNING BOLT struck like literally 3 feet in front of me. Was so close we all actually felt the zap and had ringing ears. It happened. Actually now that I think about it. Got another weird story. When I was young we attended a church with a tall steeple on the front. The elder of the church came together and debated to remove it or not. Since it's history is perceived as being a sign to reach heaven. They thought that was blasphemous like the tower of babel that God destroyed in the OT. Anyway in the planning process of removing it one day during church while the preacher was asking for extra donations to remove it. CRACK LIGHTNING STRUCK. DURING CHURCH. we went out side and the steeple had been struck and fell off the building. I'm serious.
