Hmmm...one of my childhood palygrounds.

You can't go near the stones anymore because of tourist errosion, which is a shame. There's something awesome about being near to those monoliths. Its like you can feel the gravitational pull of them.

It is a shame. I would love to be in the environment of Stonehenge. I'm not big on organized religion but I think the vibes that the stones give off is another kind of spiruality. Whoever built the stones thought ahead to make them tall enough so people couldn't get on them. The mystery for me is, why that format?

You actually played there Jac? How cool applause

I watched it directly from YouTube. Quite interesting. They say where they think the stones came from. Questions still is, why was it built and who built it?

Stonehenge doesn't seem a graveyard. The great stones are aligned with stars. I think it's a kind of temple, built to ceremonial meetings.

In Mallorca and other islands near where I live there are "newer" buildings, "only" from 1.000 b.c., supposedly graveyards, like this:

According to the story in the link, they think it MIGHT be a graveyard based on the human bones they found around it.

That stuff about a graveyard is just a guess. As no one thats alive today was there when it was built so no one truly knows what it was for in the beginning. I love the way these people try to make their guesses sound like they know what they are talking about.
There is a saying; Keep your mouth shut and let everyone think you're fool rather than open it and prove you're a fool.

EXACTLY. We need to learn to practice what we preach.

The reason people are guessing is because it's a conversation, not a slaying such as you are trying to make it.mumbling

I follow the Archeologist that has been investigating Stonehenge for 20 yrs. There are NO burials at the site, in fact its quite pristine. That had experts stumped for many years. However, they did find the remains of a city built entirely of wood directly across from the site. Within the ruins they have found evidence of extensive, generational, feasting on a massive scale.

The evidence points to the ceremonial purpose of the standing stones. It is now believed that the wooden site represents the living and the stone site was a ceremonial city of the dead. In other words, wood is transitory, and stone is forever. This much has proven to be true.

Now modern archeology is rapidly discovering standing stone sites all over the world which may shed more light on the meaning of them all. peace

For the record Monts, to my knowledge, there are NO bones, or debris found onsite...everything was found opposite in the "mirror" city. peace

They have established where the stones were found, quarried and transported to the site. There are still some questions as to how they were erected though...peace

Didn't the link say that they found bones there? I'll go back and check.

Vee, you seem to be well versed on the stones. Do you know why it was built in that format and who built it?

Second paragraph in the link:

New studies of cremated human remains excavated from the site suggest that about 500 years before the Stonehenge we know today was built, a larger stone circle was erected at the same site as a community graveyard, researchers said Saturday.

The mystery of Stonehenge has never been solved. To this day no-one knows how the stones got there.

Personally, I dont trust Youtube. Anyone with an opinion can blam vids up on that site. Im fascinated with Archeology and have been all my life. I much prefer to follow several Archeologists in the field. The most interesting part to me is the discovery of an entire network of standing stones all over the world that correspond exactly to the Ley-lines that encircle the planet.

Recent discoveries of these sites are raising some fascinating questions. They are obviously connected to one another (this cant just all be coincedence) And that points to a massive and previously unknown global energy source. I think mankinds history is far older than mainstream science is currently aware of.

Modern man makes the ASSUMPTION that we are top of the food-chain in our evolutionary history...But what if we are not? I think in this modern age we are on the brink of discovery and these discoveries are about to blow our minds dunno

Thats not entirely true Mick...They do know where the sones were quarried and also how they were transported to the site. Its still unclear what methods were used to erect them though and thats true still of most massive pre-historic building sites. peace

Hey Mickey.....Do you think it's important to solve the mystery?

Or should we just let it go on as an unexplained phenomenon. I kinda like the mystery. I'm one of those people who think some things are better off not explained.....but it still would be cool to know banana cheering
