The “Green Stone” of Hattusa: A 2,200lb block of nephrite that sits alone in the ruins of the 3,000-year-old Hittite capital. Archeologists still have no idea why it’s there.

It’s gotta be somewhere.
Somebody was going to make something out of it at some point. I’ve got lots of potential projects just laying around.

People like cool stones. That’s why.

Uh, because it is pretty and cool?
Good to sit on
Probably because it was to heavy to keep fking moving about. It got put there and that’s where it stayed.
That’s where I put it. I totally forgot.
Lol because somebody found a neat rock. Everyday loves neat rocks, we’re only human
Archeology rule: If you’ve got no freaking clue, call it “ritual”.
Archeologists are going to look back ruins of our current interior design and think the exact same thing “why did they put that there?”
Probably just really brought the room together.
My best bet? Dropped off a cart and they just said ‘Tell you what lads, I can’t be fucked hauling this back on the cart shall we just leave it?’
Humans have always been ‘ooohhh pretty’
Ancient
It pulled the room together.
DHD..pssht duh.
Every guy who did something silly in nature with his best friend knows why this is there.
Im skeptical to any mysterious mineral showing up in the desert, due to previous experiences…
Left by a prior tenant. It’s the original Game Cube.
Maybe it has something to do with UAPs and NHI
so OBVIOUS why it’s there. some hittite saw it. “that’s a nice boulder”, they said to themselves. “i like that boulder.” and they brought it home
Looks good enough to eat off of
Maybe it’s a base for a nice marble statue?
Gelatinous Cube chased some adventurers there then dried out
