@rickyroo This is testimony to the powerful aura which inhabits this place.

@ODAL123

It was really sunny when I visited, but I wanted it to be really grey/dark and lashing it down with rain...

so in that sense the weather ruined my trip as well

[ODAL123]

@Hexachloraphine grey/dark is good. its the rain that gives you a hard time. plus it was muddy and slippery : / cheers

Stonehenge is far better understood than Avebury, but they still don't know if it was a cemetary or a hospital. For Avebury, multiply the uncertainly by orders of magnitude. Few stones survive, an attached manmade hill was destroyed in an effort to obtain gravel, a stone structure below Silbury Hill is lost forever, and little remains of the avenues. We know so little, but it clearly meant so very much to the builders.

[postmasterw00t]

silbury hill is a mystery, why did they build it?

[artstudent07]

Happy Days!!

no commentary or further explanation. author just plays some dramatic music, points the camera at a bunch of rocks and expects us to be impressed. hmm....

[hawker121]

Thank you for the clarification and for casting more light on the subject.

[aulusmaximus]

The dating it Neolithic, not Bronze Age, and pre-dates Stonehenge by 1000 years.

"...remains in use..." is misleading! It in only since the 60's that the pagans re-discovered it, having been ignored or destroyed for hundreds of years.

[moonuni]

just curios how were they dated to the early bronze age could thay be far earlyer love ya video its got great spirit along with avebury

I am pleased to have the opportunity to thank you for making your work available - I think it sets the mood and fits the video well.

psychometric sense impressions of a very powerful sort. a mysterious energy, indeed. the place has been calling to me since age 8, about 20 years before i actually visited it.

[hawker121]

It must be just extraordinary to have such spiritual ability.

[Kortoso]

There is one rock, where a perfect seat appears to have been formed in it - not carved in the stone, from what I can tell. You sit in that rock and think about who first sat there and how long ago. If you're paying attention, you can detect a curious energy in that spot.

[scallywicca]

Yes, one half of the Michael & Mary line runs right thru the rock where the seat is. It's known locally as "the devil's chair".

massive earthworks massive stones Impressive to kiwi who thinks One Tree Hill is awesome

[hawker121]

Yes, it is a rare and remarkable place.

[Jaybo61]

I agree, Avebury is a special place - a way more spiritual experience than the showboating late-megalithic Stonehenge.

'Sbeen a lo-ong time since I visited Avebury; must visit again, tho' it's such a long way from north of the border. Have you been to Kilmartin Glen or Calanais on Lewis?

I like your video - the 2nd half is better than the first once the music picks up. Jump cuts in the 1st part are a bit irritating - try some dissolves for scene transitions? I like the music; who is it?

[hawker121]

Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I've been to Kilmartin some time ago and although I've sailed the Western Isles a few times, I have yet to make it to Lewis. Music is called "Dusk" from Transalarm Recordings.
