About 400 years before the birth of Christ, near the village of Kali, on the island of Saaremaa, a giant meteorite hit the Earth. It’s light, sound and force deeply affected people living hundreds of kilometres away. For example, from the Swedish coast it appeared that the sun was setting in the East. Closest observers thought that the sun had been stolen. To people living a simple life, determined by the sun’s cycles, this event had a deep impact on their senses. It took centuries for that impact to diminish.
