Irminsul, a tree venerated by the Saxons, in norse mythologics.
It was located near Eresburg castle, Paderborn, and was destroyed by Charlemagne in 772.
A Germanic god Irmin based on the name Irminsul and the tribal name Herminones is sometimes postulated as the war god of the Saxons.The Old Norse form of Irmin was Jörmun and interestingly, just like Ygg,
It was one of the names of Odin Yggdrasil was the yew or ash tree from which Odin sacrificed himself, and which "connected heaven and earth."
It appears, thus, that Irminsul may have represented a World tree corresponding to Yggdrasil among the Saxon tribes of Germany.

what if it wasn't destroyed, maybe hidden and portrayed/sculptured in stone, or burried?
if you have found other things described in earth mythologics, pleas post them?
