12th Century Doom Stone

The doom stone is a carved limestone ancient artefact from the 12th century that can be found in York Minster’s Crypt.

The stone depicts demons in hell and the souls of the innocent, all carved in stone, and is on display at York Minster in England. It is a strange item to visit because it is very eerie. The stone is kind of like something you would see in a Hollywood movie, but it is very real.

I video wildlife in the English countryside and anything nature related I find on my travels. I try to create and upload a few times a week.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda.

As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience.

Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
