The Monolith in the Jungle That Points Directly at the Stars

Desert Monolith Appears Overnight—And No One Knows How

Isa Khan | Photographer & Videographer on Instagram: "The Mawkyrduk monolith (Mawbynna) is believed to be a memorial for the dead. The tall standing stones and the table shaped stones are very important to the Khasi and Jaintia people. They honour their ancestors and keep their connection to the land alive. Long before people wrote history on paper, they told their stories through stone. This place looks a lot like Stonehenge, and it’s just a 3 hour drive from Shillong. #meghalaya #stonehenge #k
