    Near the Chlum elevation near the village of Seloutky, there is a stone that is considered to be a menhir of the Ligurian tribe. This is also confirmed by the findings of blood vessels made here.

    Menhir (from Breton men - stone and hir - long) is a stone block, a rock, vertically embedded in the ground, in the place of the energy source, from which it spontaneously receives energy. These are stones built by human hands in the Neolithic period (from the late Neolithic to the second half of the 1st millennium BC). At the time the menhir was built, there were only natural sources of cosmic energy on Earth - underground springs, streams, rivers, large streams, sea currents, storm clouds and others. The motivation for building menhirs, dolmens, barrows and other similar structures was usually explained by astronomical, calendrical, agricultural and ritual reasons. They are usually found without traces of processing, rarely a human figure, clothing or weapons are indicated. In several cases, the remains of medieval vessels testifying to their worship were found under them, in other cases also wedge stones from other rocks, some of which were also worked.
