The Hattusa Green Stone is a roughly cubic block of what is believed to be nephrite standing in the remains of the Great Temple at Hattusa, capital of the Hittites in the late Bronze Age. Now on the hill above Boğazkale, in the Turkish Province of Çorum, Hattusa is a World Heritage Site.
The original purpose is unknown, but serves as a tourist attraction today.
The stone measures 69cm (27in) per side, and weighs about 1,000 kilograms (2,200lb). It is supposed by some to have had a religious use or purpose, but what that may have been is unknown. The suggestion has been made that it may have been merely the base of a statue, however the stone is the only one of its kind found at Hattusa. --WP, with some JE edits
So, not quite the Voynich Manuscript, but an interesting object nonetheless. And quite a bit heavier(!)
In the Lebanese city of Tyre, I visited the ancient ruins & saw an identical stone --u/Msqueefmaker
I'm using Waterfox on GrapheneOS with Heliboard. I don't see that symbol on my phone anywhere.
Interesting, thanks for explaining.
I'm going to lightly assume that such cross-connection is one of those things that can accidentally create slight Fediverse hiccups, as (far as I can tell) one can't directly choose that little symbol as a reaction via the standard FV interface.
TBH, it's kind of cute, though. I'm a fan of obscure symbols, so me like. 🙂
