What is stonehenge? can anyone answer this question with easy explanation.
I believe this has been discounted, as dating places the construction of Stonehenge (& the surrounding henges) earlier than the Druids. The discovery of burial remains & iconography also imply (at the least) multiple uses of the site.One of the most popular beliefs was that Stonehenge was built by the Druids. These high priests of the Celts constructed it for sacrificial ceremonies. The rocks in Stonehenge were quarried 180 miles away.
Hi Tony, that is only a fraction of the story. Just watched a special about it.Stonehenge, is the remnants left over, from oldest form of Society, of which we all are members of today, built with 'Raw Strength', not unlike the Pyramids were, and for the 'Moon Phases' gatherings, of peoples, and 'Tribe Leaders' from Very far, and wide, so to commence the Trading of goods, and discuss potential "Deals", it was Council Chambers, Court room, Shopping Mall, and social event "Moon Phase" gathering place, to be a part of the first known "Society".
Anthony, I find this refreshing. I love reading about Megalithic structures, but get tired of every one being proclaimed either a temple or tomb. I want to ask all the 'main-stream' archaeologists: 'where are the condos?' or 'is there a shoe shop here anywhere?' I think you answered most of that.Stonehenge, is the remnants left over, from oldest form of Society, of which we all are members of today, built with 'Raw Strength', not unlike the Pyramids were, and for the 'Moon Phases' gatherings, of peoples, and 'Tribe Leaders' from Very far, and wide, so to commence the Trading of goods, and discuss potential "Deals", it was Council Chambers, Court room, Shopping Mall, and social event "Moon Phase" gathering place, to be a part of the first known "Society".
The reason for most of the thing we find being religious or funerary in nature might be because those who built it used better quality materials, as it was important to them. Their condos and shoe-shops were probably something that degrades faster, like mud-brick houses or wooden huts.Anthony, I find this refreshing.
