I've been to Knowlton church several times and it should be pointed out that the church is classed as Norman but the craftsmen who built it were Saxon.
@@ryanparker4996 Seems like you got offended because somebody stated a historical fact. That's independent of Jesus. Churches put their located their buildings on places that were known power spots. You needn't get all excited. ❤️
@@lindasue8719 Not historical fact at all. In Britain there is no archaeological evidence at all that churches were built on previous pagan 'temples'. Wherever possible they were built in a prominent location where they could be seen by the local parish. Such locations have history.
@@darrenscriven3963 pagan on pagan is just renewal or renovation, the early Christians built on pagan sites on purpose , I can’t remember which one it was I visited but the wall round it was made of large upright stones so probably a large stone circle once ,it saddens me .
@@adriancarter825 Pagan on pagan is only renewal or renovation if it is the same type of pagan people doing it, because if it is a different type of pagan people, you can bet that they would have done similar to what Christians did because their deities will have been different to the indigenous pagans. This has happened a lot in Britain as various different pagan peoples came to Britain in pre-celtic times which is evident in the changes in prehistoric monuments.
@@adriancarter825 Very little evidence that churches were built on pagan sites. The henge at Knowlton is 3000 years older than the Norman church and probably unused for 2000 years. The Romans occupied the country in the 1st century (and partly Christianised it) followed by the Germanic paganism and subsequent conversion to Christianity of the Anglo-Saxons. At the time of the building of the church 'England' had been Christian for at least 350 years. So there had been no continuity of religious practice on the site at all. The Normans would have no clue as to what the original purpose of the site was. Even today do we? In fact a later story was that the henge was actually a city with walls, towers and grand streets that was abandoned and fell into ruin. So, the idea that the church was deliberately built within the henge to Christianise it really doesn't stand up to scrutiny. It is really just a striking location for a church. You can stop feeling sad.
Sacralised terrible they must of used the stone circle stones to build it ,maybe one day we will rip these places to bits and create stone circles again , and once again worship the old gods .
You could turn the volume off. I don't mean that to be rude, it's just if you didn't want any sound just turn off the music. Although I kind of liked the music, I would be quite happy for it to have no music, either. But most people need to be overstimulated 🤷🏻♀️

@@johnwilson5637 no vaxxin those Saxon 🤣
this site its a giant dome shaped building the collapsed in on its self and was buried by the great flood.your welcome
Can we rely on modern academic words for approximate age?
My ignorant guess is they are far older........
As you say an ignorant guess.
On most of ancient temples there is a church. It is simply a domination of sacred power spot..
@@SacredMatrix888 thats like saying me putting a lightbulb into a lightbult socket is "dominating a power spot" youre hysterical and you need Jesus
@@ryanparker4996 Jesus was into free energy a long time before Tesla. No-debt energy from the Father in Heaven...

@@lindasue8719 Yes, I know about the locations. Where better to build them?

Metal detecting would be fun.
To many churches occupy ancient pagan places
I know what you mean, but it was what was done back then, even the pagan sites are very often built on top of older pagan sites.

Of course, they would build a church there with no understandings

Is this a stove or a lighthouse?
hey wha happ'd?
why music? Noise is a distraction from the content. Are you trying to commercialize?
