I would visit this every goddamn day.
Brits have access to this but don't visit it regularly
henges were abandoned because the religion slowly changed from ancestor worship to normal animism
animism would say rocks have a spirit in them
dey just rocks my dude
Why would you want to visit it regularly? Just a buncha stones innit
Thailand has temples that are far more interesting than Stonehenge.
The modern British people weren’t the ones who built this. Neolithic Britons were the guys who built this stone henge along with many other stone structures in Britain.
If you’ve ever been to the British countryside, especially in South West England sometimes you will notice that there are massive stones kept in a rather peculiar arrangement. It could be natural but more often than not, it’s usually a Neolithic pagan structure.
What about the Neolithic Britons? They are not the same people as modern British people. Ultimately, modern British people come from an Indo-European culture called the Bell Beaker culture, who migrated from Central Europe to Britain around 3,000 BCE. During this time, several climate changes caused the collapse of Neolithic British society. The Bell Beakers came into the British Isles over time, family after family, tribe after tribe and drove the remaining sparse Neolithic people in the extremities of the island before they went extinct completely.
As these new British people, the Bell Beakers, settled in their new home, they conquered these structures built by the old. If you have been to Stonehenge, you will notice that there are several carvings depicting horses and chariots and bowmen that seem to have been added later on. This would be called vandalism back then, but it represents the cultural conquest of the Stonehenge by the Bell Beakers (aka 60%-70% of what modern British people are).
Bell Beakers were a warrior race, typical IE chariot riders and sword wielders, while Neolithic Britons were a sedentary peaceful society, so nothing could’ve really stopped the Bell Beaker conquest of Britain. Textbook surivival of the fittest.
Visiting it everyday would dilate the mystical significance of the experience, I would visit it maybe twice an year
Of course the crowds and tourists already ruined the experience anyway
So it has nothing to do with druids? interesting
Its in Wiltshire you faggot. That's a long drive from Lanarkshire. Not to mention you need to pay.
what did these people look like, do we know?
chariot warrior? 3000BCE? doubt
How much do you visit Ayutthaya?
Celts arrived much later, even after Bell Beakers. Possibly around 700-500 BCE. Celts didn’t really invade Britain, they just came and settled. Their cultural domination was due to them having better metal working and tools which lead to many Bell Beaker Britons who were there since before adapt Celtic culture.
Neolithic Britons? They looked like Meds. They had pale skin, but dark eyes and hair.
Druids are actually a Victorian era LARP, have very little to do with anything historical. Just like Scots' tartan.
Yes we do
Hate to be that guy but this portrayal is widely inaccurate I mean...
Why? It's based ob bone and dna reconstruction or whatever
a bunch of fucking rocks? i'd be more interested in the sheep running around. i'd spend hours chasing them and cuddling their fluffy fur while they stare at me with those weird dead eyes. god i love sheep
Not at all because the oldest ruins there date back to the time of Timur or at most Kublai Khan. Not the fucking Neolithic.
there are fields of stones few hours from where i live, they have been put there 5000BCE, you saw them once and go around but like Stonehenge you cant know why they are here and what the dudes were doing around, there is nothing to know.
Looking at rock isnt that fun without the meaning of it all.
why
It was used as a neutral meeting grounds by everyone on there island until the night of long knives and the assassination of the byrthonic leaders by the Anglo saxons
there was this funny story i read about a bunch of retarded boy scouts taking a trip in val camonica. there we have numerous cave paintings from the paleolithic, and the pedantic brats thought they were murals, so they washed a couple away with soap and water. those paintings were 20k years old
my ancestors :)
Seem etched into the rock. Would be difficult to remove with soap/water.
>Drive 4 hours to glare at some stones
Nah. Maybe I'll visit if I'm ever down in WIltshire.
My state has carhenge
i said paintings not incisions. and i'm just quoting what i read
