It has been recently discovered that a Bronze Age slab hidden away for decades might just be one of the world's oldest 3D maps.
The carved Saint-Bélec slab found in the Leuhan parish (Brittany, France) was found within an early Bronze Age barrow in 1900. A recent re-examination of the Saint-Bélec slab suggests that it is likely a map, given certain elements that were repeated and joined by lines.
It shows what looks to be an 18-mile-long area following the course of the River Odet. Geo-location determined an 80 percent match between the current geography and that depicted on the slab. Such a creation would have been within the purview of a local political or military leader.

In Celtic and specifically Welsh tradition Bards were individuals trained in the art of storytelling and disseminating tribal wisdom. Among their tasks were to memorize countless tales, prose, poetry and songs. They then retained this information and knowledge and transmitted it via narration to the people.
Bards were highly regarded by the people and were seen as servants of the gods and keepers of spirit, culture and heritage.
One of the most famous Welsh Bards was Taliesin the boy who drank Cerridwen's potion. Taliesin was regarded as one of the greatest Bards and his poems contained prophecies and rich Welsh Lore. His poems also have many references to Cerridwen. The Bardic orders continued into Christian times.
