@AcidfartProductions Which would tell you what? The interior has already been largely dug, and geophysed. I know because I've seen the results. They know what's under it. Chalk, soil and bedrock. No bunker, no cave with sleeping knights.
@jordof6 I've been reading about the genetics of the British Empire and according to current understanding the Anglo-Saxon only had minimal effect on the genetic make up of the English.
@Standuble Correct! they have done one recently that shows a bit more, but even then there's no way there was no wipe out of the indigenous peoples. What they were thinking as saxon dna might not be at all. More saxon dna in the scots. The old idea of deposed celts in Scotland, Ireland and Wales is wrong. England is also "celtic" and in parts used to speak a celtic language up until 900 years ago.
@isaacthegeek More like a causewayed enclosure. Stonehenge is a hybrid of megalithic building ideas at a time when we all could work together. Fancy, generations of your kin each working on a part, all but a few never actually seeing the final product. I think it was more about the act of building than what it was eventually used for when it was completed.
I hope we never find out and it will always be a mystery if we knew it be done thats it it be like... they built it for soso and it was use for this and that.... but this way ...not knowin...are minds can think up anything and its more fun to talk about....if we ever find out what they was built like that for the mysteriousness magical like presence would be gone.
@UKDannyBoyy91 "I hope we never find out and it will always be a mystery if we knew it be done thats it it be like... they built it for soso and it was use for this and that.... but this way ...not knowin...are minds can think up anything and its more fun to talk about....if we ever find out what they was built like that for the mysteriousness magical like presence would be gone." -You.
@UKDannyBoyy91 That's very selfish and I don't think knowing would take anything away from the majesty of places like this. It's a bit like saying, I don't want to know how a car works as I'd soon like to believe it's being propelled along by horses under the hood and a fire breathing dragon in the back.
@sonofherne How is it selfish? its just my opinion if we knew about how all the mysterious things on this planet how they came about and why its here etc then it be boring dont you like to think how things got here? all the different ways? thats what makes these stones great and so popular cause we dont know why there here and who did it etc if we KNEW all the long it wouldnt be AS popular but thats just my opinion.
The modern english in no way have claim to this site.Modern english are anglo saxon germanics the people who built these where neolithic iberians.The same race as the irish.
The people who built Stonehenge built them to last for a long,long time.They must have known that at some distant, future Age people would still be looking at them( and being drawn to them).I wonder who they imagined that people would be.
@TheFlemburger Selfishness. Many like mystery in their lives, but fact is so often much more interesting than any fiction. So many have set preconceived ideas about this and other places like it, and don't wish to be proved wrong. It's just plain fear - religious and social. The truth will set us free in the end, but many need to be prepared to handle it.
@TheFlemburger I was at Stonehenge this Spetember, and my guide said the same thing, that he hoped the myseteries were never solved. I'm not saying it wouldn't still be magic if we did know, but I do think something would be lost.
@broadwaygirl84 maybe but i like to think that there's something magic about it as I have found out a lot of the earth's energy lines meet up there. I would just like to find out about it. I have also learnt that the stones themselvs could either be blocking energy points or guiding them, but please know this info was told to me by people and could just be opinionated.
@TheFlemburger That would be possible. There's definately a magic feeling there and for me it was strongest when facing the henge from the helios stone, so if your theory is right I may have been stanging on an energy line at the time.
I've seen plenty of thatched cottages in Dorset too ~ and many have animals on the roofs too & there's wind-pointers with witches on the top in some ppl's gardens.
Most stones, bluestones, was carted all the way from Pembrokeshire, two hundred miles away/320kms, today confirmed. My main feeling when the sun turned back towards us at 21/22 December, so to give hope that winter is started to end, and prepare for fertile spring to grow crops again. Summer Solstice is a celebration when spring work is done, but Winter Solstice is what gives the most strength to the heart of peoples then, when declared, we are over half way there trying to keep warm and fed.
archaeologist's have painted round white spots in the Stone Henge carpark, these represent where they believe before the henge was built, the dead would be layed out on platforms probably for the birds to pick clean. This method of dealing with the dead was a common way of disposing with the dead (still used by some cultures today, search google for sky burial) Near one of the white spots on a certain day, you can feel and get quite a wallop from the Earth energies.
The disposing of the dead was being done on the SH site a long time before a henge was dug or stones dragged to the site. And it is acceptable to understand that ancient people discovering pulses of static (EMF/Earth energis) rising from the ground would ascribe the area as a sacred area with metaphysical properties.
@sonofherne I guess you or your peers have not studied what is coming out of social scientific studies done with the stone age and indigenous cultures from around the world and how so many things are common in what these cultures regards as sacred, how they create metaphysical ideas to forces of nature that is beyond their understanding.
@tranurse You're on an open plain, and it's not far from the Atlantic sea. You really think it's cold there all the time, and this is from the one time you visited?
@sonofherne of course not. i just thought it was strange that it wasn't a cold day, we got there and it was cold. it added to the mystery about the place, i thought.
@tranurse So you visit one of the most iconic & mysterious ancient monuments on Earth & all you can do is moan about the weather? How did you find the Pyramids? Was it a bit too hot for you?
@whitbyjet65 uh no. i just thought it was strange that it was so cold there, it sort of added to the mystery about the place. there are these marvelous inventions called coats.
The fact that this EMF is 'called earth energies' by others is immaterial. I am not aware that Stone circles are next to rivers or other important water ways, underground veins of rock in the chalk + underground springs channel EMF and of course the strongest manifestations get the highest notice.. Blues stones from wales, and most of the trilithons were moved many miles to the current SH position from all over Salisbury plain.. remember SH was built on a slope ? rather then the flat land, why?
@hawklord100 See my below reply. As for building on a slope, it's not hugely so. As I say, there is evidence of mesolithic activity and a large eroded mound on the site dating to 8000bc. All this influenced the decision to place the stones here later, The slowly rising ground was accented by the creation of the avenue to the NE which provides an interesting optical illusion of the stones disappearing and reappearing from the dip. It was high religious theatre, not pseudo science.
SH isn't near a geological outcrop.The nearest,Beacon Hill,which does seem to be centred on the earlier Cursus monument. If anything Stonehenge was built there because of what came before; chalk striations, already present erratic stones, as proven. EMF fields radiate all over the earths crust, not just where stone circles are. I'm sure ancient man could feel the static,but probably would've feared it rather than start building on it.Geo fact or no, it's still an overthought 21stC explanation.
3.if ancient people attributed any form of magical / godlike powers to this static electricity, then this is really the only point in question, but I would suggest that the circumstantial evidence is almost overwhelming. Anyone interested in testing this can visit Avebury (Stonehenge is pretty restricted) on a stormy day and walk around the site criss-crossing between the stones, and see where you get to feel the energies, it is so easy to test the facts. Sorry 3 postings, read 1 through to 3
All sensible points.The trouble was your first post was rather simplistic. Earth energies tend to be tied to ley lines,dowsers & spacey people waving crystals. It also made out that energies were the only reason it was built there.One, but not even the most important one, It's well known stone circles are centred on water sources, rivers are usually the focus in the landscape, vital for farmers/hunter gatherers. As for being near geological outcrops. Well, because that's where the stone was?
2.(think of the way lightening works) the out-crops have been there for millions of years, and so has the high static potentials. Ancient man just as well as modern man can feel the static electrical potentials when they are at a high point, and there are many people who can understand stone age peoples attributing 'special' status to the area, it is also a well-known fact (for those who look at the research) that most if not all stone circles are placed near / next to geological outcroppings
1.Earth energies is a geological fact, this is where static electricity flows along geological out crops and 'veins' of rock, (electricity follows the least line of resistance) and does not need to be tied up with any mysticism at all. The fact that there veins of igneous rock raising near to the surface through the chalk sub soil allows a stronger static charge (negative as well as positive) to discharge itself, this charge is stronger on days that the 'airborne' static is of a higher potential
@Flamorgan Oh do grow up. Silly rivalry isn't helpful. These were culturally and genetically the same people after all. There aren't many large stone circles to rival the size of Stonehenge in Ireland, but there are of course fantastic chamber tombs like Newgrange. Can you lump these together? It's fascade is reconstructed after all. It would never have looked like that from the outside.
@hawklord100 Sorry, but there's no evidence that ancient man knew anything about this. It's a modern thought born our of eastern mysticism. If you want to know, the reason why Stonehenge is where it is is geography and a little bit of fate. There was something on this site back to 8,000BC and naturally occuring glacial striations in the chalk followed towards the rising sun on Midsummer. Ancient man would have been able to see this and might have interpreted it as being paths of the gods.
@Flamorgan it's about your sentence "Nothing more than a glorified garden rockery, if you want to see some proper relics go to Ireland were they are so much better and 20 times bigger than this pile of rubble." I don't see the need to play the nasty game "Ireland Vs Uk".
@KERRANG Half the monument is missing, this is largely due to the site being used as a quarry for farmers over the last 500+ years. There's little stone on the Plains, the nearest source being over 20 miles away. When people moved onto the Plains, they needed good building material for houses, walls, bridges etc. Stonehenge already contained precut stone. BTW, recent geophysical evidence shows that the circle wasn't actually complete. The models and our previous perceptions all need updating!
@abarrathemaster So sorry. Goseck doesn't have any monumental structures. What you see today is a modern RECONSTRUCTION. Yes, it's impressive people were making alignments at this early date, BUT, this was happening across most of Europe and it didn't begin from Germany. Goseck is a timber henge, when things were being made from stone in other places. Impressive - let's not take anything away from you guys, but superior? Ha. Come on, now you are fishing for a flame war!
Why do people underestimate humans so much? Yes, building SH would be a difficult task but when you have your mind set on something your going to do it. Anyone think aliens had ANYTHING to do with SH has been watching a bit to much "History" Channel.
@LouSoufier That's a very close-minded attitude. It's quite possible it was humans, but it's also possible that stone henge, the pyramids, etc were created by or helped by another civilization/race.
@KiiDSarajevo Define another civilization/race & give evidence. That's a very arrogant attitude too, that man couldn't possible do anything incredible without help! It's possible & likely that it was done ENTIRELY by humans, a communal effort by many hundreds over several generations, coming from the local area & environs - Hampshire, Dorset, Cornwall, with aid of immigrants known as "Beaker folk" from the continent where megaliths also exist, expanding out from the West Meditteranean.
@LouSoufier Well said. Man is a very resourceful & adaptable beast, able to do very great things if he puts his mind to it. Why's everything these days got to involve aliens? Sometimes I think our younger generation has been too easily influenced by movies without a real appreciation for our history & achievements. It's easier to believe in something outlandish from the pages of a tabloid or someones internet rant, than knuckle down & study the past. So they get totally the wrong information.

I find it despairingly upsetting that people can't make a sensible comment about SH without mentioning aliens, or some other lunatic statement. Clearly some have invested time & consideration on these deductions, but to do this you should make sure you've the core facts right,Why must it constantly be the butt of jokes? It's disrespectful to the your own ancestors,and to yourself. These great people have created something that has stood for over 5000yrs. What do we do now that will last as long?
@angeal04 Sorry, but they are quite human - average age before death about 30yrs of age, a good proportion suffered from arthritis, neither especially tall nor short, some show evidence of warfare & surgery. A lot of child burials too, infant mortality was high, They may've even been put into the graves to accompany the adult into the afterlife. Not very fluffy, I'm sure this will upset the beliefs of those who like to think it was all nicey nice, worshipping the great mother! Think again ...
@karpoezi What about him? A greek writer who wrote centuries after Stonehenge was abandoned and talks about a circular temple of Apollo. He doesn't even mention Britain. The coordinates don't fit with Stonehenge. He probably was talking about Callanish in truth.
I live 40 minutes away from this place, and I find it a boring pile of stones which is highly overrated and causes hours of delays to traffic on the 303 in the summer with the people who go to ogle it. Time it was bulldozed and plowed over for agriculture
@colliecandle That's pretty typical of the mindset of many locals actually, this is the sad thing. Pass by it every day but don't give it a moments thought, don't care for its interests and can't be bothered to see that actually interest in places like this should be seen as a positive rather than a negative.
What is Britain today without its tourism? Colliecandle. You're insulting and idiotic statement baffles me. 40mins from SH. That must make you a SWINDON resident. Figures!
@sonofherne It's the very torism that causes the problems! If YOU have ever had to wait for HOURS in summer season delays on the 303, maybe you'd see things a little differently. These stones are just that - a bunch of stones who's purposes have been lost in the time of antiquity - So WHAT! There are FAR more important issues to deal with in this day and age than worrying about the fate of bloody stones! And no, your'e wrong again - you ASSUME I live in Swindon !
@colliecandle Actually, because I like 5 minutes away I DO. Only an idiot would use this road at peak times anyway. You live in the area, you accept the problems. There are other ways around. Maybe we should bulldoze the entire countryside for you and make it a giant parking lot. There are still human remains up there, probably your ancestors as well as mine. You made this idiotic statement, I truly feel sorry you have no appreciation of your own history or it's relevance to how we live now.
@colliecandle Maybe you should MOVE to another country, but maybe there might be a large mountain (another pile of rock) that distracts and infuriates you. Knock it down and put in a tesco and mcdonalds. Would that suit your fat head?
@banglolshot Explain. Have you been watching Conan? Stukeley believed Avebury might have had something to do with snakes because the avenue that led in resembled a snake. That's where the idea stops. No other evidence in grave goods of any veneration of snakes at this time or after, or in the earliest mythologies. Try South America!
The researches of R. Frank, a scholar at the University of Iowa, suggest that the Basques were far-advanced in navigational skills and other aspects of technology long before the rise of the Roman Empire. The Basques, she believes, are the last remnants of the megalith builders, who left behind dolmens, standing stones, and other rock structures all across Europe and perhaps even in eastern North America.
@JorgeLorenzoSpain100 Finally someone who gets it right! Christ, every single idiot associates the Britons and Gaels with the La Tene and Gauls. I'm tired of people who refuse to believe that Britons and Gaels had nothing to do with them, and were in fact descended from Galicians and Basques. This is coming from an Irishman too.
@JohnJuanUnited John, having said all that (below entry), I will confess I have received several pointed and convincing email arguments to the contrary when I posted it on other SH YouTube sites. But with all due respect to the learned fellows who have lived near and studied S.H. for their lifetimes, I remain committed to this simple hypothesis. It struck me like an Epiphany when I first thought it. No hi-tech or mathematical genius required. It's the way I would have done it (no sarcasm, pls!).
@JohnJuanUnited Yessir, I wholeheartedly agree. I first got that idea about 10 yrs ago while viewing a friend's rustic stone bench in his yard. Too heavy for a man to lift, the stones gave way to discussion about S.H. and this theory suddenly dawned on me, too. Don't know or care who thunk it first ~ it simply works for me. They were farmers, familiar with and armed for manipulating soil. The surrounding 'knolls' might be the remains of the removed dirt. I see them cleaving the full hilltop off
I live in Wiltshire and have done all my life, I've never seen a thatched roof with an animal or bird on it! lol Maybe I've not been looking properly!
Stonehenge was the hot tub of the roman gods. It was also the building place of Noah's Arc; Place the Oak tree from Oak Island in the center; place an apple seed underneath the tree and then at the summer solstice in 2012; the tree will be set on fire. It will act as a beacon. What happens next will create world peace/unity and prosperity.
@TDProfessional Well, there's not a lot one can say to that is there, hence the complete lack of support for your opinion. I think people viewing this vid & wanting to understand the monument want a bit more than someone's acid trip views and a bit more factual, anthropological & archaeological evidence. For instance, a hot tub for roman gods? This was OLD when the romans came to Britain. 2012 is going to a huge anticlimax for those expecting some fluffy global union ideal.
@sonofherne You do understand that most things that are written in the old days were done hundreds of years after events took place right? This is evident with the most popular of writings; the bible. And I was not on acid and it is very disrespectful to call someones views/theories that of some rambling drug filled lunatic.
There is much we do not know about stonehenge but I am working towards refining my theory. What exactly are you doing with your life?
@sonofherne Sir, you and I have conversed on this issue previously (you commented on my "digging" idea some months ago). In deference to your background and expertise, can you please explain to me what physical reasons might PROHIBIT my (now our) hypothesis from being true or even possible? Admittedly, that's a lot of dirt to remove, but it sure beats lifting those slabs. Thanks.
@FLSHBK1 I'll attempt to, but could you kindly direct me to the video where this discussion took place on. Was it this one? I need to refresh my memory of what exactly you were hypothesising, Thanks.
@sonofherne Yessir, it was an off-screen response to my email. I was hypothesizing that the mounds surrounding SH were made from the dirt which was removed from around the upright columns. You explained something about those mounds were burial sites from years after SH was erected (and composed of known elements) so that dirt couldn't have come from my theory.
I am so far unable to locate our conversation exchanges, but I will fwd them to you as soon as I find them. Thnx, I value your input.
The only barrows which might add weight to your theory are the ones on the King's Barrow Ridge, unlike the 200+ other mounds within 3 miles of Stonehenge. They were turf covered as opposed to chalk. Then again the King's Barrows were a lot older, predating the building. If anything, the displaced soil from the stone holes was used to build up the henge earthwork banks which stood 5-6 foot tall originally, whilst any remainder was displaced over the interior to create a slight rise.
@sonofherne To be clear, I suspect (and I am now joined by at least one other like-thinker) that the easiest way for simple people to make this a simple job was to dig vertical holes and drop the upright columns into them. Then they drag the 'table top' slabs over the uprights, and remove the dirt.
The fact that the fallen strictures were never fixed indicates they never had the ability to lift them in the first place.
Thank you. I know you've studied this most of yr life and respect your input.
@FLSHBK1 The fallen stones indeed stood, their stone holes still exist I promise you. Many collapsed from storms/ were intentionally pulled over. People have suggested dirt ramps, normally this displaced earth will leave a trace archaeologically & there is no evidence of large soil ramps. SH is a wooden structure in stone. Dozens of timber henges existed around the area & it's more likely that wooden scaffolding (ramps, a-frames etc) were employed in the construction.
@sonofherne Thank you. I question the "ramp" theory for two reasons. 1st, the close proximity of the structures would interfere with the next ramp ~ it would be too crowded btwn structures to build ramps gradual enough to be useful. 2nd, if they DID use ramps, why didn't they go back and fix the structures which fell?
If they 'planted' the uprights, they couldn't fix them, because their 'tool' (dirt) was then gone. Only the 'dirt' theory lets them do 'what they did' with 'what they had', Yes?
Re. replanting them where fell. The first fell approx. 1000BC (by that time social & religious changes were going on) & the rest from the Middle Ages onwards through to 1700/1800's due to curious souvenir hunters undermining them & farmers wanting to extract stone for other uses. Ramps wouldn't interfere with the next one as they built from the inside out & took down once one was up.We have the post hole evidence. Uprights were packed with stone around the bases to 'fix' them.
Stonehenge was the hot tub of the roman gods. It was also the building place of Noah's Arc; Place the Oak tree from Oak Island in the center; place an apple seed underneath the tree and then at the summer solstice in 2012; the tree will be set on fire.
@Asukapride The Stonehenge people formed what we term as the Wessex culture, one of the richest and most sophisticated peoples to inhabit this island nation. They evolved through native and continental influence to go out and trade in tin, copper, amber, jet, over Western Europe. At Stonehenge we even have the earliest prehistoric metalled road in this part of Europe.
Yes, I do believe they had such a civilization. Are you being deliberately obtuse or just very ignorant and bigoted?
People, I am a scientist. Let us look at this from a scientific perspective, shall we? After extensive research on the construction of Stonehenge, I have concluded that CRAZY MOTHERFUCKING ALIENS BUILT IT AS A LANDING ZONE FOR THEIR INTERGALACTIC SPACESHIPS!!! THEIR RETURN IN 2012 WILL ENTAIL THE END OF CIVILISATION AS WE KNOW IT!!! IT IS ALL FUCKING OVER FOR US!!!
@wallacejim41 Agriculture began several thousand years before Stonehenge was built. Also can you explain why over 150 dead bodies are buried at the henge if it's a calendar. Farmers don't need to erect a massive stone structure, take time to carve out intricate mortice and tenon joints, carve in totemic tribal carvings, just to be able to tell the time. Common sense.
Me and some other's also call it sacared grounds cause of million of people that died over the hundreds of years ago. The trenches around the stonehenge is to keep people form coming into the stonehenge, they placed human bones and animal bones in the trenches to keep them outsiders away. The oustiders are sometime sacarficed by the pagans and druids back then. Thats what i can now about, and i can't ever forget about my anceint ones.
I think, that old tribes way back in B.C built them. The stones came form each tribe that was going to meet at the spot where it was built, and Also being used for cereomonies by druids and pagans. Beofre the Rome came and slaughtered over half a million or less of pagans and Druids. I think also think Druids may used for Sacarfices for the spirittaul worlds to connect with the living. Like the The Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice. I know these things cause I am Druidess and Pagan both.
@8DJUSTINCREDIBLE - no. You have to be living in a time where it's next to impossible to do such a thing. Then it would be amazing and mysterious. You could go back in time with a crane and do it. Mystery solved!
@twasbrian well slaves built the pyramids,so sorry if im not impressed with a bunch of giant rocks placed on a field.its obvious man power put them there.
@8DJUSTINCREDIBLE The pyramids did not involve 50-ton stones like at Stonehenge. If you don't know how heavy that is, I'll give you a clue: very fucking heavy. A lot of cranes cannot even lift half of that. So if you think it isn't a big mystery as to how they moved the stones back then with technology not consisting much more of wood and stone, then you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. It is insane how they managed to transport such heavy stones at that time.
@yaxxee first of all im not arguing i gave an opinon in which someone replied,ive in no way been rude or nasty,eveyones intitled to there opinon,secondly the fact that u think the pyramids was not more impossible to acheive is rediculous,what i was saying is that thousonds of slaves moved extreamly heavy stones to build the pyramids,im sure the same could of been done here.wether u like it or not thats my opinon,i accept ur response so accept mine an move on.remeber it was u who replied to me
Slaves didn't build the pyramids. They would have been paid labour, needed housing and feeding. Pyramids were built for one pharaohs ego & greed. Stonehenge and the other 1000 circles in Britain were at the edge of the known world, and older than the pyramids.SH was shaped and put together using woodwork joints in stone. They even compensated for opticals and had a lot less people to do it. The stones were moved from a very long distance too. You underestimate SH by not understanding it.
My theory is that stonehenge was built by a race of giants. The outer circle was chairs, and the inner circle was where a big, round, wooden table was at, and the small stones between the inner and outter circles are foot stools, and the whole thing is immortalized in the story of king arthur and the knights of the round table. That's my theory.
Could I ask a question, a question that is hard for me to get data on? In my searching for Truth, I have oft wondered why I have not seen any data on individual stones, no I do not want the size or weight, but the carvings on the faces. Am I the only one who is asking this? I see signs of carvings but not any explanations, curious don't you think? If the builders took the time to assemble this group of Giants, think they would leave out detail? I don't !!!!!!!
They spent about five zillion hours carving out those stupid bumps on the top when they eventually threw up their hands and was like "THAT"S IT! NO MORE! STAND THE DAM THINGS UP ALREADY AND BE DONE WITH IT!"
Some of the carvings are prehistoric. the dagger & axe carvings, signs of a prehistoric power symbols. also a potential mother goddess carving. There has been a lot of study & research, but only a tiny amount published. For those who want to know, it's fairly easy to find out. Most however don't care and only want to be caught up in the mystery. there is also a lot of modern graffiti in the last 300 years, plus weathering has helped to reduce & fade any undiscovered carvings.
I would try digging under it...

@Standuble Correct! they have done one recently that shows a bit more, but even then there's no way there was no wipe out of the indigenous peoples. What they were thinking as saxon dna might not be at all. More saxon dna in the scots. The old idea of deposed celts in Scotland, Ireland and Wales is wrong. England is also "celtic" and in parts used to speak a celtic language up until 900 years ago.

@TheFlemburger Selfishness. Many like mystery in their lives, but fact is so often much more interesting than any fiction. So many have set preconceived ideas about this and other places like it, and don't wish to be proved wrong. It's just plain fear - religious and social.

@broadwaygirl84 maybe but i like to think that there's something magic about it as I have found out a lot of the earth's energy lines meet up there. I would just like to find out about it. I have also learnt that the stones themselvs could either be blocking energy points or guiding them, but please know this info was told to me by people and could just be opinionated.

@TheFlemburger That would be possible. There's definately a magic feeling there and for me it was strongest when facing the henge from the helios stone, so if your theory is right I may have been stanging on an energy line at the time.

archaeologist's have painted round white spots in the Stone Henge carpark, these represent where they believe before the henge was built, the dead would be layed out on platforms probably for the birds to pick clean. This method of dealing with the dead was a common way of disposing with the dead (still used by some cultures today, search google for sky burial) Near one of the white spots on a certain day, you can feel and get quite a wallop from the Earth energies.
hawklord100 3 months ago
The disposing of the dead was being done on the SH site a long time before a henge was dug or stones dragged to the site. And it is acceptable to understand that ancient people discovering pulses of static (EMF/Earth energis) rising from the ground would ascribe the area as a sacred area with metaphysical properties.

@sonofherne I guess you or your peers have not studied what is coming out of social scientific studies done with the stone age and indigenous cultures from around the world and how so many things are common in what these cultures regards as sacred, how they create metaphysical ideas to forces of nature that is beyond their understanding.

The fact that this EMF is 'called earth energies' by others is immaterial. I am not aware that Stone circles are next to rivers or other important water ways, underground veins of rock in the chalk + underground springs channel EMF and of course the strongest manifestations get the highest notice.. Blues stones from wales, and most of the trilithons were moved many miles to the current SH position from all over Salisbury plain.. remember SH was built on a slope ? rather then the flat land, why?
hawklord100 3 months ago
@hawklord100 See my below reply. As for building on a slope, it's not hugely so. As I say, there is evidence of mesolithic activity and a large eroded mound on the site dating to 8000bc. All this influenced the decision to place the stones here later, The slowly rising ground was accented by the creation of the avenue to the NE which provides an interesting optical illusion of the stones disappearing and reappearing from the dip. It was high religious theatre, not pseudo science.
sonofherne 3 months ago
SH isn't near a geological outcrop.The nearest,Beacon Hill,which does seem to be centred on the earlier Cursus monument. If anything Stonehenge was built there because of what came before; chalk striations, already present erratic stones, as proven. EMF fields radiate all over the earths crust, not just where stone circles are. I'm sure ancient man could feel the static,but probably would've feared it rather than start building on it.Geo fact or no, it's still an overthought 21stC explanation.
sonofherne 3 months ago
3.if ancient people attributed any form of magical / godlike powers to this static electricity, then this is really the only point in question, but I would suggest that the circumstantial evidence is almost overwhelming. Anyone interested in testing this can visit Avebury (Stonehenge is pretty restricted) on a stormy day and walk around the site criss-crossing between the stones, and see where you get to feel the energies, it is so easy to test the facts. Sorry 3 postings, read 1 through to 3
hawklord100 3 months ago
All sensible points.The trouble was your first post was rather simplistic. Earth energies tend to be tied to ley lines,dowsers & spacey people waving crystals. It also made out that energies were the only reason it was built there.One, but not even the most important one, It's well known stone circles are centred on water sources, rivers are usually the focus in the landscape, vital for farmers/hunter gatherers. As for being near geological outcrops. Well, because that's where the stone was?
sonofherne 3 months ago
2.(think of the way lightening works) the out-crops have been there for millions of years, and so has the high static potentials. Ancient man just as well as modern man can feel the static electrical potentials when they are at a high point, and there are many people who can understand stone age peoples attributing 'special' status to the area, it is also a well-known fact (for those who look at the research) that most if not all stone circles are placed near / next to geological outcroppings
hawklord100 3 months ago
1.Earth energies is a geological fact, this is where static electricity flows along geological out crops and 'veins' of rock, (electricity follows the least line of resistance) and does not need to be tied up with any mysticism at all. The fact that there veins of igneous rock raising near to the surface through the chalk sub soil allows a stronger static charge (negative as well as positive) to discharge itself, this charge is stronger on days that the 'airborne' static is of a higher potential

@Flamorgan Oh do grow up. Silly rivalry isn't helpful. These were culturally and genetically the same people after all. There aren't many large stone circles to rival the size of Stonehenge in Ireland, but there are of course fantastic chamber tombs like Newgrange. Can you lump these together?

@hawklord100 Sorry, but there's no evidence that ancient man knew anything about this. It's a modern thought born our of eastern mysticism. If you want to know, the reason why Stonehenge is where it is is geography and a little bit of fate. There was something on this site back to 8,000BC and naturally occuring glacial striations in the chalk followed towards the rising sun on Midsummer. Ancient man would have been able to see this and might have interpreted it as being paths of the gods.

They were farmers, familiar with and armed for manipulating soil. The surrounding 'knolls' might be the remains of the removed dirt. I see them cleaving the full hilltop off

@sonofherne Yessir, it was an off-screen response to my email. I was hypothesizing that the mounds surrounding SH were made from the dirt which was removed from around the upright columns. You explained something about those mounds were burial sites from years after SH was erected (and composed of known elements) so that dirt couldn't have come from my theory.
I am so far unable to locate our conversation exchanges, but I will fwd them to you as soon as I find them. Thnx, I value your input.
FLSHBK1 1 year ago
The only barrows which might add weight to your theory are the ones on the King's Barrow Ridge, unlike the 200+ other mounds within 3 miles of Stonehenge. They were turf covered as opposed to chalk. Then again the King's Barrows were a lot older, predating the building. If anything, the displaced soil from the stone holes was used to build up the henge earthwork banks which stood 5-6 foot tall originally, whilst any remainder was displaced over the interior to create a slight rise.
sonofherne 1 year ago
@sonofherne To be clear, I suspect (and I am now joined by at least one other like-thinker) that the easiest way for simple people to make this a simple job was to dig vertical holes and drop the upright columns into them. Then they drag the 'table top' slabs over the uprights, and remove the dirt.
The fact that the fallen strictures were never fixed indicates they never had the ability to lift them in the first place.
Thank you. I know you've studied this most of yr life and respect your input.
FLSHBK1 1 year ago
@FLSHBK1 The fallen stones indeed stood, their stone holes still exist I promise you. Many collapsed from storms/ were intentionally pulled over. People have suggested dirt ramps, normally this displaced earth will leave a trace archaeologically & there is no evidence of large soil ramps. SH is a wooden structure in stone. Dozens of timber henges existed around the area & it's more likely that wooden scaffolding (ramps, a-frames etc) were employed in the construction.
sonofherne 1 year ago
@sonofherne Thank you. I question the "ramp" theory for two reasons. 1st, the close proximity of the structures would interfere with the next ramp ~ it would be too crowded btwn structures to build ramps gradual enough to be useful. 2nd, if they DID use ramps, why didn't they go back and fix the structures which fell?
If they 'planted' the uprights, they couldn't fix them, because their 'tool' (dirt) was then gone. Only the 'dirt' theory lets them do 'what they did' with 'what they had', Yes?
FLSHBK1 1 year ago
Re. replanting them where fell. The first fell approx. 1000BC (by that time social & religious changes were going on) & the rest from the Middle Ages onwards through to 1700/1800's due to curious souvenir hunters undermining them & farmers wanting to extract stone for other uses. Ramps wouldn't interfere with the next one as they built from the inside out & took down once one was up.We have the post hole evidence. Uprights were packed with stone around the bases to 'fix' them.

@8DJUSTINCREDIBLE The pyramids did not involve 50-ton stones like at Stonehenge. If you don't know how heavy that is, I'll give you a clue: very fucking heavy. A lot of cranes cannot even lift half of that. So if you think it isn't a big mystery as to how they moved the stones back then with technology not consisting much more of wood and stone, then you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. It is insane how they managed to transport such heavy stones at that time.

@yaxxee first of all im not arguing i gave an opinon in which someone replied,ive in no way been rude or nasty,eveyones intitled to there opinon,secondly the fact that u think the pyramids was not more impossible to acheive is rediculous,what i was saying is that thousonds of slaves moved extreamly heavy stones to build the pyramids,im sure the same could of been done here.wether u like it or not thats my opinon,i accept ur response so accept mine an move on.remeber it was u who replied to me

Slaves didn't build the pyramids. They would have been paid labour, needed housing and feeding. Pyramids were built for one pharaohs ego & greed. Stonehenge and the other 1000 circles in Britain were at the edge of the known world, and older than the pyramids.SH was shaped and put together using woodwork joints in stone. They even compensated for opticals and had a lot less people to do it. The stones were moved from a very long distance too. You underestimate SH by not understanding it.

My theory is that stonehenge was built by a race of giants. The outer circle was chairs, and the inner circle was where a big, round, wooden table was at, and the small stones between the inner and outter circles are foot stools, and the whole thing is immortalized in the story of king arthur and the knights of the round table. That's my theory.

Could I ask a question, a question that is hard for me to get data on? In my searching for Truth, I have oft wondered why I have not seen any data on individual stones, no I do not want the size or weight, but the carvings on the faces. Am I the only one who is asking this? I see signs of carvings but not any explanations, curious don't you think? If the builders took the time to assemble this group of Giants, think they would leave out detail? I don't !!!!!!!

They spent about five zillion hours carving out those stupid bumps on the top when they eventually threw up their hands and was like "THAT"S IT! NO MORE! STAND THE DAM THINGS UP ALREADY AND BE DONE WITH IT!"

there is a book just on stonehenge which goes into detail on the carvings but i can't remember off hand who the author is.

Some of the carvings are prehistoric. the dagger & axe carvings, signs of a prehistoric power symbols. also a potential mother goddess carving. There has been a lot of study & research, but only a tiny amount published. For those who want to know, it's fairly easy to find out. Most however don't care and only want to be caught up in the mystery. there is also a lot of modern graffiti in the last 300 years, plus weathering has helped to reduce & fade any undiscovered carvings.
