multi congrats to wolfgang & harry & peter on these extraordinary findings
& collaborations

i am so glad you are all here & able to do all this yeoman work
or yeoman play if you prefer

you have brought to us in a single swoop
1 the earliest known dated or undated boundary stone in the world 1659
2 the earliest known dated or undated tri country stone 1659
3 the oldest known working rock in the world 1659 to present
4 the only known tri kingdom stone 1824

not to mention the incredible beauty of the object itself

& the unusual triangular shape along with the triple triad of ducks & balls
& barbs makes it all the more unbelievably multicoincident & mysterious



so i would just add that the monster of breintenstein definitely has a good
playfellow now in the munster of overdinkel
