Details:
About five thousand years ago there were better, darker, clearer skies that allowed those before us to better appreciate the wandering passage of wonders similar to Comet Tsuchishan-Atlas. They also, after the allotted time under the heat of the Sun, knew how to leave behind beautiful funeral stones, sometimes spectacular, that illuminate the long night of time. In Spanish, to name a stone raised in memory of someone on their grave, you can use the same word that is used to name the tail of a comet: "estela". It has the meaning of a trace that remains, as it does the Sorginetxe dolmen, in Agurain, Basque Country, northern Spain.
