== Title ==
Ancient Stone
== Description == On my way to Munster, during my trip to Ireland, I found some weird markings on a stone laying on the side of the road. Grooves in the stone seemed to try to tell me a message. Half an hour of decoding later, and I did not manage to figure out any meaning. As I was very intrigued by this stone, I made note of the markings on a piece of paper I had brought along. Might you help me decipher the ancient knowledge given by the markings?

== Solution/Writeup == This markings are an ancient writing system called Ogham. The word "Ogham" was spelled out by the first letter of each sentence of the description. Munster and Ireland were also hints, since the system originated from there. The following image can be used to decode the message. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogham#/media/File:All_Ogham_letters_including_Forfeda_-_%C3%9Cbersicht_aller_Ogham-Zeichen_einschlie%C3%9Flich_Forfeda.jpg
