Krakus Mound/ Kopiec Krakusa

in busy •  7 years ago 

Hello Everybody.
I would like to introduce:
Krakus Mound (Polish: Kopiec Krakusa), also called the Krak Mound, is a tumulus located in the Podgórze district of Kraków, Poland; thought to be the resting place of Kraków's mythical founder, the legendary King Krakus. It is located on Lasota Hill, approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) south of Kraków's city centre, at an altitude of 271 metres (889 ft), with the base diameter of 60 metres (197 ft) and the height of 16 metres (52 ft)

Legenda
Jan Długosz łączył jego usypanie z osobą Kraka, legendarnego założyciela miasta Krakowa. Opisuje, że pogrzebano go zgodnie ze zwyczajem na szczycie wzgórza, zaś dwaj jego synowie, wykonując jego wolę, wznieśli kopiec na wieczną pamiątkę.

Legend
Jan Długosz combined his heaping with the person of Krak, the legendary founder of the city of Krakow. He describes that he was buried according to the custom on the top of the hill, and his two sons, by doing his will, erected the mound for an eternal memento.
