My wife and I journeyed to Stonehenge 20yrs ago. We were on a tour of England. We both were awestruck by the massive stones.at that time visitors were able to walk between the stones.lt was such a blessing. I realize now that is not possible. Thankful for our time there. David
How incredible this is. I never made it to any higher education but have had a life long passion for ancient history and read everything I could get my hands on. To be able to listen to such incredibly knowledgeable people, their ideas and questions is quite beyond anything I could say. Thank you, I’m hooked.
Up dating what we have been told as history is marvellous, this is the way all generations have learnt. Tolstoy said, ‘history would be a wonderful thing if only it as true’.
What intrigues me about the archeological history is its successive discoveries of where modern assumptions have been wrong. What are we still wrong about? So much, I suspect.
Try, for a change considering what our Creator says about all the He,, created? Strat with the World Wide Flood which you "smart," Scientists deny in droves. Especially concerning the time line of events, buried artifacts. ?
Exactly , I'm always agog when some refer to new archeological finds especially human remains , as being that location is whete we all derive from ? Only yesterday I watched a channel stating China had a skeleton over 2 million yrs old !
The Metonic cycle, in chronology, is a period of 19 years in which there are 235 lunations, or synodic months, after which the Moon's phases recur on the same days of the solar year, or year of the seasons. The cycle was discovered by Meton (fl. 432 bc), an Athenian astronomer. The Pyramid is also 230 metres square, or 235 Megalithic Yards. En-men-dur-ana (also Emmeduranki) of Sippar was an ancient Sumerian king, whose name appears in the Sumerian King List as the seventh pre-dynastic king of Sumer. He was said to have reigned for 43,200 years His name means "chief of the powers of Dur-an-ki", while "Dur-an-ki" in turn means "the meeting-place of heaven and earth" (literally "bond of above and below") Arc of the Covenant There are also 86,400 seconds in a 24 hr day. 24 minutes is 1440 seconds, times 100 gives us 144,000 A list of ten kings was composed in Greece c. 280 BC by the Babylonian priest Berossos, and their reign totals 432,000 years. In the Icelandic Poetic Edda it is said that there are 540 doors in Odin's heavenly hall of warriors Five hundred doors and forty there are I ween in Valhalls walls; Eight hundred fighters through each door fare Where to war the Wolf they go. The war with the Wolf was the recurrent battle of the gods and anti-gods at the end of each cosmic round. Here we have 540 x 800 = 432,000. In the Mahabharata and Puranic texts, the cosmic cycle of four world ages numbers 12,000 divine years, one year corresponding to 360 human years for a total of 12,000 x 360 = 4,320,000 human years. This is broken down into yugas as follows: Kali = 432,000 years or 1200 x 360 Dwarpa = 864,000 years or 1200 x 360 x 2 Treta = 1,296,000 years or 1200 x 360 x 3 Satya = 1,728,000 years or 1200 x 360 x 4 The number 432,000 has been found in Europe (1100 AD), India( very ancient, and 400 BC), Mesopotamia (c 300 BC)in reference to a cosmic eon. At the moment of the Spring equinox (March 21) the heavens are never quite in the same position they were the year before, since there is an annual lag of 50 seconds which in the course of 72 years amounts to 1 degree (50" x 72 = 3600" = 60' = 1 degree) and in 2160 years amounts to 30 degrees or one sign of the zodiac. For instance, today the sun stands in Aquarius at the Spring equinox, in 1976 the sun stood in Pisces and in the time of Christ it was in Aries. This slippage is known as the precession of the equinox. Copernicus in 1526 AD calculated this same figure. We note also that the lag is 50 seconds/year or 1 degree in 72 years, 30 degrees in 2160 years, 360 degrees in 25,920 years or one complete cycle of the zodiac. But 25,920 divided by 60 gives 432. The ancient Sumerian calendar had five-day weeks or 72 x 5 = 360 days per year. But 360 x 72 = 25,920. The integer 1200 represents the sum of the years in India for a cosmic cycle. Now 1200 x 201 = 241,200 1200 x 380 = 456,000 1200 x 360 = 432,000 These numbers correspond to the Sumerian tablet list of ten kings who ruled for a total of 456,00 years, a second tablet which lists only eight of these kings with a total of 241,200 years, and Berossos' list. The Book of Genesis lists ten patriarchs from Adam to Noah and the Flood totalling 1656 years. In the Jewish calendar one year is 365 days. In 23 years plus 5 leap year days we have 8400 days or 1200 seven-day weeks. If we multiply 1200 x 72 we get 86,400 or the number of Jewish seven-day weeks in 1656 (23 x 72) years. Since the Babylonian calendar year was composed of 72 five-day weeks, then in 432,000 days there are 86,400 Babylonian five-day weeks. Then in 432,000 days there are 86,400 Babylonian five-day weeks (432,000/5). Thus the Bible concurs with the other lists as well. The earth's axis wobble that causes the precession of the equinoxes is given as 25,920 years. Divided by the ancient number called "soss," 60, which was used in calculations, results in 432. The Greek Ages also bear a close correspondence to the four Yugas of the Hindus: Krita-Yuga, Treta-Yuga, Dvapara-Yuga, and Kali-Yuga. Their method of calculation is described by Ullamudeian as follows: "In each of the 12 signs there are 1800 minutes; multiply this number by 12 you have 21600; e.g. 1800 X 12=21600. Multiply this 21600 by 80 and it will give 1,728,000, which is the duration of the first age, called Krita-Yuga." If the same number be multiplied by 60, it will give 1,296,000, the years of the second age, Treta-Yuga. The same number multiplied by 40 gives 864,000, the length of the third age, Dvapara-Yuga. The same multiplied by 20 gives 432,000, the fourth age, Kali-Yuga." (It will be noted that these multipliers decrease in inverse ratio to the Pythagorean tetractys: 1, 2, 3, and 4.) The Essenes studied the Mysteries of Pythagoras. His name means Heart (Bel) of the Serpent. The cycle of the Phoenix encodes the astrological calendar by which they removed 3 days every 630 years. This was expressed in a Pythagorean Triangle of Dimensions 216 by 630 by 666. 6 x 6 x 6 is 216, there are 2160 years in an astrological age, and the Moon is 2160 miles in diameter. The solar metonic calendar using 60 6 day weeks produces 1 extra day every 216 years. There are also 216 Megalithic seconds in a day, and 216 letters in the name of God.
The perfect Calendar would use 60 6 day weeks each made up of 6 hours of 6 6 second minutes, this makes a total of 216 seconds in a day. Every 4th year you add a 61st week to compensate for the leap year. Every 216 years this calendar will desync by 1 day, or 10 days every 2160 years, the length of an astrological age. There are also 216 letters in the name of God, and Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer, associated with Apollo and all the other healing gods sits at 216 degrees of the Zodiac. Pleiades, aka Isis sits at 33 degrees of the Zodiac, and Hydra, the 100 headed Serpent, or Typhon, takes up 100 degrees of the Zodiac. The Moon is also 2160 miles wide, and the interior angles of a cube also add up to 2160. This metric system is what the ancient Megalithic builders were encoding into their temples and astrological observatories, and has survived to this day as Astrology and the Zodiac. It not only gives them the ability to tell the time using the stars, but to navigate the globe, knowing it's dimensions. It also translates to both the Imperial and the Metric system using a Megalithic foot of 2.7 feet. Divide the height of the Pyramid by 2.7 and you get the Square root of Pi, times two give us 354, which is 12 Lunar months of 29.5 days. The first form of the Bible was written in 325BC, 80 years before and Antikythera mechanism, and was called the Vaticanus Graecus, Son of the Devine Serpent, a reference to Fomalhaut, which is shaped like the all seeing eye, in Aquarius, the sign associated with John the Baptist, who was a Setian, the root word of Satan. Just as israel is the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, Fruit of Isis and Ra. In the Second Century AD Astrologer Vettori Valentinus used the Vaticanus Graecus to construct a lunar zodiac of 13 months, this correlates to the 18.6/ 19 year Metonic Calendar, found in the earliest known ancient temples, the Bible, Antikythera mechanism, New Grange and the Bru na Boinne, the Chaldeans, Egyptians, Assyrians, Celts, Phoenicians, and inscribed into the Golden Enoch Horns of the Magi, the Eunuch Druid Priests of Cybel, or Kythera, the "Great Mother", (who also has 216 names) in Germany and France. A Druid took 19 years to train, and the Phoenix was associated with 19 flames. TLDR; the ancient metric system of time used by the builders of the Megalithic sites all over the world directly correlates to the Astrological Zodiac and allows for the surveying of the entire globe. It's worth noting our current system has 8,640 seconds in a day, just as the sun is 864,000 miles wide. Enoch also wrote 36,525 scrolls, which is 365.25 times 100, the Egyptian number of perfection, which allowed them to calculate things to the second decimal place. The Great Pyramid is a Calendar, based on the Metonic Cycle and the Zodiac, hence the association of Osiris with Orion, and Pleiades Isis, atop the back of Taurus, just as the Phoenician Princess Europa, who rode the Bull. The entire Mediterranean region was also mapped out according to key constellations, marked by these Megalithic structures, which themselves encode these numbers The Byblos Baal, or Book of Baal is the Phoenician Almanac, a coded book of Astrological cycles used by the Priest Class of Egypt; the Phoenicians, to navigate the oceans. Phoenicians, Celts, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Egyptians and Jews all celebrated their New Year in September, the 7th month, the Sunsign of Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, associated with the healing Gods, and marked by the first New Moon in the 7th month after the start of the Zodiac in Easter, when Ophiuchus is the East Star. In September the East star is Orion, aka Osiris, aka Set, Lord of the Dead. Hence the Aleph, and the Zayim, Alpha and Omega. It's also the Birthday of Jesus, and when he said he would return, at the end of the Age. It's reversed to keep the code secret, and written in metaphor so no one could know what was contained therein. It's an Enigma Code, literally.
Predict history, like 911. Like I predicted Trumps Coup attempt to within 14 days based on the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter. Not because Astrology, but because this is the code that Masons have used for centuries. "The NWO will begin Sept 17th 2001 during the first New Moon of Rosh Hashanah, Feast of Trumpets, Resurrection of the Dead, the year 6000 of the Great Pyramid Calendar, in order to cleanse the Earth and Humanity in preparation for his Kingdom on Earth" British Israel Foundation memo 1922.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging the speakers were, their passion for their subjects quickly obliterating my assumption that they might be a tiresome drone of information I'd have to carefully pick through to find an interesting piece of knowledge. Thank you all very much and keep up the great work!
Wow. I came to the comments to see if anyone agreed with me that the speakers were droning on and that it is a long presentation of limited interest that you have to search through to find something interest. Exactly opposite. Makes me wonder what is the difference between us.
To all the presenters: well done. How exciting to confirm the long distance associations. Many more questions for the future. Thanks again for sharing.😊
This is a fascinating discussion much appreciated. I have had a fascination with Stonehenge since I was a 5th grader over 50 years ago. One critical item omitted from the question about the why the bluestones were quarried and transported from Wales is a report I read that the quarry of rhyolite has a peculiar physical property that when the temperature changes the stone expands and contracts and emits a low audible tone which was felt to have a spiritual significance. The quarry as I understand it has a unique spiritual meaning, I would love to know more about this. LIt would be interesting to know what the local spoken history has to say about this site. I was impressed as I visited Crater Lake in Washington state USA that the Klamath Indians maintained a spoken history of the eruption of Mt Mazuma 7,500 years ago.
Michael Ryan, Crater Lake and Klamath Falls where many Klamath Indians live are both in Oregon, not Washington State. I know because that's where I grew up.
Micheal,Crater Lake is outside of Klamath Falls, Oregon and part of the National forest system . It’s a beautiful drive around Klamath Lake and home to indigenous Klamath tribe. I’m from Klamath and have visited Crater lake many times, its more commercial now but worth the drive up to the lake for the spectacular views .
Fascinating. I constantly try to relate these extraordinary features to the human work involved. To make anything, you need to devote time and resources, which means reducing the effort committed to other tasks. In contemplating the process, you get an idea of the numbers directly and indirectly involved. Someone has to be feeding and housing the workers, someone has to be 'looking after the farm' while the workers are on assignment. All of this takes planning and leadership. It may be speculation, but the process is just as real as the archeology.
My view : Last decades we have built huge circles underground in order to understand the world. We believe the answer (some scientists disagree) to the mysteries of life and the universe is to be found by tearing it apart into small pieces. Another way to understand ourselves and the univerce, is by creating «rooms» in which light and sounds can reflect and ecco.
For sute they had some form of written language; can't build without plans'. Think they kept it all in their heads...ask any builder/ surveyor/ engineer!
@@dominicseanmccann6300 It’s a very complicated issue. The Incas in South America had no written language, but they did use a physical code involving knots on strings, a bit like ticker tape. Gothic cathedrals we’re designed on paper, but no attempt was made to allow builders to understand these plans. Instead the architect would build a scale model of the cathedral and the builders would copy each piece at real world scale. In addition you had associated memory tricks, that are still understood today. Huge quantities of information can me memorised using this technique. Then there are song lines, which work similar to memory association. A child learns a sacred story in song form. This song becomes an index for a deeper layer of information. This process is repeated and the individual learns to build layers of stories, containing an entire encyclopaedia of information. Using song to store information was and is common in many pre-literate cultures world wide. From medieval traveling performers, to elite religious communities, and political governments.
Btw..in case there's anyone left on Earth, who doesn't know what those carved stone spheres were for....including the Roman Dohecahedran's. Well it's KNITTING. They would have been handed down and very cherished items. Thus why each is unique and generally found in cold regions. I've seen gloves and socks knitted with replicas. In fact a Brit figured it out. Ladies on YT have been giving it go as well, with 3D printed replicas. It makes perfect sense and a very very creative idea. But as i always say, WE wouldn't be here if they were stupid. Yes you can make diff sizes of clothing articles as well. It's all about threading the yard around the grooves, turning the stone and repeating. Of course there are diff. methods. To each his own. Great Series, thank you.
wouldnt be here if they were stupid.. well,, heres a fun fact.. we were meant to be wiped out, 13,000 yrs ago.. as no longer needed..look that up.. back in,,50,s. people used to darn socks.. last remnents of these stones.?. so the big, 10 ft round stones, world wide, were for the giants.?.
@@elizabethford7263 An interesting rebuttal, yet I am curious about any rational explanation; perhaps a conjoining of both the sacred and the practical? As long as we don't drift into UFO nonsense, I'll listen to anything. But then, I lean towards your argument. Transposing our perception on theirs is fraught with difficulty.
Just discovered this channel! I look forward to watching both past and future postings! Being in the US, I do not have the opportunity to visit the British Museum. This channel now gives me the ability to see watch some of the wonderful items you have as well as able to watch some of the presentations. Thank you!
Excellent talks by all, bringing together different discoveries on the times and activities; how they all tie in. Interestingly I went to Megalithomania conference in 2019 (I'm from NZ) and on the way was taken to Stonehenge, the cursus and Woodhenge, which I had studied for some time. I knew nothing about Durrington walls so we stopped the car and got out to take a look on the corner there at Woodhenge. I was blown away. In my mind's eye I could see this huge geographical circle that stretched right around. Was that because I had no concept of what to expect? It looked to me as if the whole area had been shaped that way. Then funnily enough, a big announcement came out about the discovery of a big circle with post holes. That still didnt appear to be it, but here in this presentation by Eammon, I finally got to see the shape of what I had seen! The huge, greater circle! Thank you all so much for passing across the passion that you all have! I hunger for this information too. I was also taken to the British Museum and I absolutely loved the whole visit.
Thanks so much for mentioning Megalithomania conference. I thought I was the only person who was so very interested in megaliths. Hoping they do a conference next year.
@@maryt9631 Would love to Mary but UK is a long way away from New Zealand! I just loved that area around Avebury, Glastonbury and South to Salisbury and Winchester (ancestors stomping ground).
fact..all megalithic structures, not,monoliths, like stone henge, are over 14,000 yrs old. anything, like stone henge, or brick built, is less that 11,000 yrs old.im interested in items over 15k. that,is closer to our beginings. upto 1 million yrs ago. 20 yrs studying stone henge, hell,,id like that job.. talk about draged out.
I enjoyed all of your presentations. It was great to hear Phil Harding's name from Allison come up as one of his digs was mentioned. I'm a big supporter of Time Team!!! I miss the old crew! Anyway, outstanding job!!!
A wonderful talk, thanks so much for putting it online. I was particularly struck by Eamonn Baldwin's presentation, and the extensive geophysical surveys. I noticed in some that there seemed to be a few causeway enclosures in the Stonehenge landscape, which if memory serves are Mesolithic. Seems the area has a very long monumental history.
It is so beautiful to see this new tech being developed for this purpose!!! We are much closer to knowing! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Obama turned up at stone henge randomly, a picture was taken what is still available now on Google what shows a huge rusted steel slab inside of a huge stone what had the back of it chipped off 🤦🏻, It’s clear as day a sheet of steel, this isn’t a tinfoil hat theory either lol because like I stated the picture is available on Google. I don’t believe any of the stones what currently stand at stone henge are legitimate/original 😞
My only complaint about this is that it is too short!! Would have loved at least another hour of discussion. The Stonehenge Exhibit at the BM is mesmerizing and so well done. My friend and I came from the US specifically to see it and were not disappointed! Thank you for this presentation. The interconnections with Newgrange and Orkney are fascinating and so contrary to the preconception of prehistoric humans as "primitive" and limited to their immediate surroundings. All these presentations demonstrate how advancing technology reveals more and allows us to understand more about our ancestors. It is exciting to both hear the latest and know that more and more will be discovered/revealed in years to come.
Amazing place, but I found when I went there the admission cost was too much, so we walked to the fence and a very pleasant walk it was. I’ve found that the cost to see places in England, considering the basic wage , for a family quite expensive for the common worker. Sort of thing only the overseas tourist can afford it.
Thank you all so very much from a Brit' abroad who keeps in touch with home country's history partially via videos like this. What a great way to pass the time while walking on the treadmill. Liked. Subscribed.
new sub here, i'm thrilled to see more and more prestigious organizations creating a channel on youtube; self education has never been more at hand than now; thank you British Museum
Very interesting to see how many of these monuments were built all over the british isles. However, I'm a bit surprised that the stone monuments across from the channel in France are not encompassed into this story. How do the circles, dolmens, standing stones, and fields of stones there fit into this same cultural history.
It is more useful to consider Stonehenge in the context of which you speak: the prevalence of circular henges throughout England and France. Otherwise, one is left with the impression that this is an astonishing one off. That being said, clearly the focus was on this event. One item I kept hoping to see (admittedly the exposition went by fast, I could have missed it) was reference to unique, if coincidental, alignment of stratum caused by glacial activity, was it North-South, or East-West, memory fails me, that was an integral part of the "avenue" coming up from the Salisbury Avon. Presumptively, such a visible "engraving" would be of ritual significance.
Doggerland was flooded and the British channel was made about 5 or 4000bc - apparently. Personally I think it was a bit more recently , or perhaps land bridges still existed for a while there after. Regardles - definitely the same cultures arose before that, spreading all over over weston Europe. I bet there are some wonderful finds waiting at the bottom of the North Sea and the channel.
@@DVous The English Channel was formed 425,000 years ago, but there was a land bridge during the last glacial maxima. Doggerland was flooded around 6,500 BC. {:o:O:}
I had visited Castell Henllys just up the road from Craig Rhos-y-felin when one of the guides suggested I go and have a look at what some archaeologists were doing in the area ... First off - what a beautiful place it is! Very sheltered and pleasant feeling! Initially I looked at it from above on the North side, unsure if I should disturb those working there. Plucking up courage, I went down and in to the site and the young ladies present were really helpful and informative, showing me what they had found and were guessing went on there. The man that I'd seen from above had disappeared - was it Michael Parker-Pearson, or not?
It was re arranged to it’s new position today from it’s original design as a low technology energy generator, it never was left completely intact. Rearranging molecular cells with electromagnetics or acoustics. All these generators were connected to Ley lines. Some are obsolete because of the continued manipulation by the controlled governments who have usurped and use this technology on a much higher level. I would suggest looking at their replacements.....high tech telescopes & nuclear power plants.
A very alighting show and glad so much work is still being focused on it.I still have the`1972 booklet printed by Her Majesty's Stationary Office Priced at 10P. I did notice your maps didn't reach Devon and Cornwall any ware in Devon and especially Cornwall as they have some many interesting stone circles and quoits especially down in the Penwith Peninsular. 9riceed 10P. I saw on your maps that you never covered Surly these are all part of the early British stone work John the Pom
Yes, it's incredibly annoying, as they are not even in synch. But some woke idiot at the British Museum thinks it's _"in line with Best Practice"_ to have unintelligible subtitles to confuse the deaf and hard of hearing. {:o:O:}
I was talking to a park ranger over one of my local parks yesterday and he was talking about stonehenge and how they have a big display cabinet with loads of artefacts in the visitors centre at stonehenge. Iv'e always liked stonehenge and I appreciated it so much more after reading Bernard Cornwell's 'Stonehenge - A novel of 2000 BC'. You know, it kind of really brought stonehenge to life for me.
As you like stonehenge, what do you think of the Romans? They knocked it down. The site where the stones were cut has been clorine dated. 24,0000 years old.
Mindblowing! I’ve read most of Mike Pearson’s books and lots of others’, but this brought so much together. I’ve been wondering for a long time why Orkney came to dominate the rst of UK with stone circle building and pottery. I used to think that they must have had some new technology (related to farming probablyk), but it could of course also have been ritual as explained here. Also it was new to me how this influencing started way before, from Boine to Orkney, later back again, and also to places along the Atlantic coast of Europe. Very informative! Thanx a lot
In a 2021 BBC documentary Prof Parker-Pearson had proved by the peculiar shape containing a pentagonal imprint of one of the Waun Mawn bluestones that it was a match for one of the Stonehenge bluestones. Now it's not? Hard to know which documentary to consider definitive. It's all absolutely brilliant though and thank you all for your work, dedication and expertise
The secret society free masons modeled and copied it as perfectly as possible after a painting illustration of an Irish Ruin. The Irish Ruin may not have actually existed. They make enormous profit from this stone henge hoax. It even has modern era concrete cement beginning to show on the stone and close viewing is no longer permitted due to obvious need for re- modeling again. There are numerous photographs of the freemason posing in front of the cranes, survey equipment and excavated holes prior to construction. Real ruins are built far better than this crude piece of crap.
Wonderful to see the indigenous people of that region finally being given a voice. Here in Australia, we have been very successful in instigating a system of native title...next we are hoping to give them a voice in parliament after the work done at Uluru (walking in partnership with the First Nations People, a statement from the heart). a lot more attention to these people and their living culture... I have a dream that one day the people of this culture can one day as freely celebrate their living culture and connection to country side by side with all the great First Nations Peoples of the World.
@@DavidMayOnline As in the descendants of the bronze age inhabitants of Britain, whose culture extends back to Stonehenge and beyond finally being acknowledged as having deep cultural links to the land and the inalienable rights that go with that acknowledgment. Everyone seems to get it when it involves the Maori, the Aboriginals, the Fijians, the Amerindians...what makes it so difficult to understand when it comes to the first nations people of the British Isles?
@@amywas1Thank you for the clarification greatly appreciated. My bemusement was based open how you could try to compare the plight of the 'New World to that of the Old world (As seen from the European prospective) by suggesting that....... "the indigenous people of that region - Britain - finally being given a voice. I do not understand the phrase " Finally being given a voice" I believe that statement was based upon political ideology rather than something you understood. I see from your reply that I was correct.
@@DavidMayOnline Well, David, close but no cigar. I don't think I even watched the video so, yes, you are quite right literally zero understanding going on here. As for political ideology, maybe not so correct. Sometimes I like to let the artificial "intelligence" which offers up these suggestions on my feed how much contempt I have for it. Specially after repeatedly demonstrates that it clearly has not the slightest respect for my privacy. Throw in a sideways swipe at the hypocritical garbage which I am constantly bombarded with about "community guidelines" and "culturally appropriate" content (none of which cultures apparently value privacy) and I like to throw in a little FU mortar into the mix. If you managed to get some sort of collateral gratification out of it, then that is perfectly fine with me. Why not? Cheers.
I was fortunate to visit Stonehenge when it was possible to go inside, touch the stones, and spend as long as you wished. Over the years I have been there many times for. The sunrise. It is indeed a very special place. Yet Avebury is the world's biggest stone circle, and is an amazing thing to see.
Just amazing fascinating story of humanity's journey through time and places. the linking of various narrative has only made us look forward to the hunger for finding the next discoveries.
So who's got the rest of the blue stones and where are they? Has any one actually looked around stonehenge to see if they can be found in and around the local areas?
Bravo on Your Bravery Ladies and Gentlemen 🌞 It’s Awesome the The British beat the U.S. 💚 We are All Family here on Earth after All and You should be very grateful for Disclosure. Love from Texas
Thank you for all that info; it will take days to digest and sink in. As a former construction manager, I'm still mindboggled about the logistics of manpower. Obviously, you need a lot, and when handling those big stones you need it all at the same time. But you have everything against you. Most of the total time will be spent on having food, shelter and heat. If you spread out the workforce's lodging, there will be long "commute" time,and if you concentrate it,the area will soon be depleted of wood & game. Any tool or rope will take much time to make & maintain. The more I think about how I would organize this, the worse it gets. I had construction sites with 120ton cranes,lots of big gear, and no worries about lunch or a warm bed in the evening, but when I think of what these people achieved, I feel like a toddler.
Fascinating. I wonder if the explorers from other areas influenced the erecting of the more permanent structures, bringing with them the blue stones for sacred purposes or even for trade. If the Orkney crew were well known travellers, perhaps they merged into various populations with their beliefs and designs (and their favourite delicacies) becoming popular wherever they landed. Thx for the discussion. My mother-in-law, Patricia Christie, who was a Bronze Age specialist, would have loved to hear your discussions I’m sure even tho a different focus to her own area of expertise.
I find the automated text rather disturbing, I keep noticing incorrect interpretations which could probably even be termed misinformation; If I needed this facility there is the "cc" switch next to the settings function on the bottom toolbar !
Ingulsbourogh, baxall, Castle naze, mucker, iv seen very similar markes in land scape. Unfortunatly Lidar is missing from every site I try to learn more about.
Did Stonehenge and similar other circular monuments have a very practical purpose of serving as a market fair for farmers, herdsmen, and weavers to sell their products?
why would they need a sacrificial altar and have cremated sacrificed victims in a market foundation? it aligned with the seasonal suns. it must have been regarded as a holy place, with sacred festivals celebrating the equinox etc. They were PAGANS with all the associated trappings of life.
I was at the Free the Stones festival, the druids did a ceremony when the sun came up , morning mist on the floor and sword glinting in the morning sun, a mesmerising sight . We had Hawkwind playing at the time. Hurry on sunrise.
I went to two Stonehenge festivals before they were broken up. Free the stones? Seeing people actually defacing the stones, and chipping bits off to take home was appalling.
I believe the construction of monuments like Stonehenge and Göbeckli Tepe were a response to the greatest inquiry facing modern humans; the mystery of death. Priests were paid big bucks to provide answers and passage to the afterlife. Such questions and demands persist even to this day with evangelical preachers, televangelists and similar hucksters.
Stonehenge drew us like a magnet then and still does today. My brother made incised pottery very similar to the geometric styles here. It was in his Irish/English DNA.
We finally woke up to its value. I have a photo of my parents walking right up to the stones in the early 70s (they were allowed to - there were no barriers). It has definitely changed now.
Well, I would suggest that both explanations - the purely practical as well as the supernatural/religious/cosmological/ritual - are probably true. They are not at all mutually exclusive and belief systems often stem from practical 'solutions' to the ongoing struggles for survival. Do you have a perfectly 'rational' explanation for the existence of these sites in the first place?
It's to make the solstices and equinoxes, just like New Grange and the Great Pyramid. All Megalithic Structures are Syellar Observatories. Pretty simple really. Today we call it religion
Does anyone have an idea how these Ancient Builders found the types of stone for their monuments, let alone move it ? All over the world the quarries for the stone used is tens to thousands of miles away, sometimes over sea and is nearly always a stone with a special quality or magnetic property.
The radius “c” given the value of 100 feet or 1200 inches, the angle being 1 degree, the radius of the small circle noted previously being the Chord “BD” resulting in a linear length of 20.9436… inches resulting in a diameter of 41.8873… inches or 1.0639… meters.

Dr Alison Sheridan FBA refers to peoples 3,000 years BCE making the "long and arduous journey" to Orkney.That is a 21st Century view of having to walk and swim all the way by our 21st Century selves. I don't imagine anything about the journey those elites made would have been arduous. In reality back then it would be a pleasant journey on a well-upholstered pony to the coast where some very comfortable big outrigger canoes rowed by tribal lowlifes (mere mortals) along well-known routes with known stops to pick up other canoes of fellow elite celebrants along the route along the coast. Until the entire flottila arrived in prehistoric Orkney. Excellent smoked meats and fish as picnic foodstuffs for the picnics along the journey. Natural intoxicants and fungal hallucinogens. Big barbecues upon arrival in Orkney. Nothing arduous but more spiritual, exciting, mind-blowing, cosmic...
sounds like sht to me..tell me, how they transported 35 ton diorite, granite,ect.. & dont fkn say donkey..or boat..go try lift 100kg..over rough terrain, hills, rocks, slopes..theres nothing spiritual, religious, or death,,connected to these monuments..
@@harrywalker5836 They didn't take the stones of Stonehenge with them to Orkney. Orkney was just an annual social trip. Why wouldn't they use a well-built boat to cross the sea? Are you suggesting they swam whilst carrying "35 ton diorite rocks"? I think you may be confused.

Thank you for your presentation. I was wondering if you ever connected with the history, and archeological findings in Lepenski Vir and Vinca in Serbia ( old civilizations old between 10, 000 - 2,000 years old. These monuments remind of a Koledar, Calendar monuments turning the same way, following the Sun's circulating for 13 moons (months), the New year starting in the spring, the rebirth of the Sun every winter solstice (Dec. 21), and the old erbian calendar that is counting 7500 some years.
If Stonehenge is a calendar of some sort and has such precise lining with the sky clock then I would like to hear how continental drift doesn’t come in to play for that many years.
@@mkor7 thanks for your answer Martin but on another official report about the pyramids are 7 miles from there original spot. So what I guess I am asking is there a different belief on the amount of drift or is there more than one set of rules or equations that they gauge them off of.
So it is suggested that the sarsens were brought from West Woods, near Avebury, 17 miles as the crow flies. The heaviest stones, the uprights of the trilithons weigh over 40 tons. I await with interest an attempt to bring a concrete replica from there to Stonehenge, using the means thought to be available 4,500 years ago. An attempt to bring a very much lighter bluestone replica from Wales soon ended in disaster. It would not be very difficult for us today, using cranes and a low, multi-axialed trailer, used to move things like steam locomotives.
Agreed 💯 People need to realize there wasn't motorways then either... No roads? Thick forests covering a direct route, going uphills or down downhills. Mind boggling
Nothing makes me lunge to change a channel faster than the words "alien" and "UFO." Truly these forebearers were every bit as smart, or even smarter, than us contemporaries who indulge in silicon and petrol. The worked, and thrived, in a different, lithic, medium with as much ability as we like to claim (truth be told I could not dig an adequate hole, much less move a blue stone).
here's a question for you, why, are some of the standing stones, worked, with a 45% angle at their top ? it seems, that nobody, has bothered, to answer this point ?
47:00 - How to explain the explosion of monument building, accompanied by the presence of two genetically segregated populations? I see this as evidence of slavery. That is, stratified social classes organized around compulsory labor. Thus wealth concentrated in the upper classes as evidenced by richer burials and public works. Monuments legitimized the ruling class by inspiring awe, and by connecting the rulers to the gods and to cycles of nature. All this was made possible by the rise of agriculture, which allowed a high degree of control over the labor force and the harvest. By contrast, hunter/gatherer societies were too diffuse to control.
It occurs to me that if we had a time machine, we could approach the builders and ask them about their methods - - but this, then as now, would be an incredibly dangerous thing to do.
Was under the impression that Blue Stones, Middle section of Stonehenge were from West Wales up from Carmarthen & that it was where they came from Prisselli many other reasons where given were given last time it was spoken about !Pagan times wasnt it ??
My wife and I journeyed to Stonehenge 20yrs ago. We were on a tour of England. We both were awestruck by the massive stones.at that time visitors were able to walk between the stones.lt was such a blessing. I realize now that is not possible. Thankful for our time there. David
How true three years ago we went and couldn't get near them only walk around
How incredible this is. I never made it to any higher education but have had a life long passion for ancient history and read everything I could get my hands on. To be able to listen to such incredibly knowledgeable people, their ideas and questions is quite beyond anything I could say. Thank you, I’m hooked.

Thank you so much for posting this presentation.
Up dating what we have been told as history is marvellous, this is the way all generations have learnt. Tolstoy said, ‘history would be a wonderful thing if only it as true’.
Right?! I love that.
they aren't relying on anyone's story. they are looking into what the stones present and the finds of the site.
What intrigues me about the archeological history is its successive discoveries of where modern assumptions have been wrong. What are we still wrong about? So much, I suspect.
Try, for a change considering what our Creator says about all the He,, created? Strat with the World Wide Flood which you "smart," Scientists deny in droves. Especially concerning the time line of events, buried artifacts. ?
Exactly , I'm always agog when some refer to new archeological finds especially human remains , as being that location is whete we all derive from ? Only yesterday I watched a channel stating China had a skeleton over 2 million yrs old !
The Metonic cycle, in chronology, is a period of 19 years in which there are 235 lunations, or synodic months, after which the Moon's phases recur on the same days of the solar year, or year of the seasons. The cycle was discovered by Meton (fl. 432 bc), an Athenian astronomer.
The Pyramid is also 230 metres square, or 235 Megalithic Yards.
En-men-dur-ana (also Emmeduranki) of Sippar was an ancient Sumerian king, whose name appears in the Sumerian King List as the seventh pre-dynastic king of Sumer. He was said to have reigned for 43,200 years
His name means "chief of the powers of Dur-an-ki", while "Dur-an-ki" in turn means "the meeting-place of heaven and earth" (literally "bond of above and below") Arc of the Covenant
There are also 86,400 seconds in a 24 hr day. 24 minutes is 1440 seconds, times 100 gives us 144,000
A list of ten kings was composed in Greece c. 280 BC by the Babylonian priest Berossos, and their reign totals 432,000 years. In the Icelandic Poetic Edda it is said that there are 540 doors in Odin's heavenly hall of warriors
Five hundred doors and forty there are
I ween in Valhalls walls;
Eight hundred fighters through each door fare
Where to war the Wolf they go.
The war with the Wolf was the recurrent battle of the gods and anti-gods at the end of each cosmic round. Here we have 540 x 800 = 432,000. In the Mahabharata and Puranic texts, the cosmic cycle of four world ages numbers 12,000 divine years, one year corresponding to 360 human years for a total of 12,000 x 360 = 4,320,000 human years. This is broken down into yugas as follows:
Kali = 432,000 years or 1200 x 360
Dwarpa = 864,000 years or 1200 x 360 x 2
Treta = 1,296,000 years or 1200 x 360 x 3
Satya = 1,728,000 years or 1200 x 360 x 4
The number 432,000 has been found in Europe (1100 AD), India( very ancient, and 400 BC), Mesopotamia (c 300 BC)in reference to a cosmic eon.
At the moment of the Spring equinox (March 21) the heavens are never quite in the same position they were the year before, since there is an annual lag of 50 seconds which in the course of 72 years amounts to 1 degree (50" x 72 = 3600" = 60' = 1 degree) and in 2160 years amounts to 30 degrees or one sign of the zodiac.
For instance, today the sun stands in Aquarius at the Spring equinox, in 1976 the sun stood in Pisces and in the time of Christ it was in Aries. This slippage is known as the precession of the equinox. Copernicus in 1526 AD calculated this same figure. We note also that the lag is 50 seconds/year or 1 degree in 72 years, 30 degrees in 2160 years, 360 degrees in 25,920 years or one complete cycle of the zodiac. But 25,920 divided by 60 gives 432. The ancient Sumerian calendar had five-day weeks or 72 x 5 = 360 days per year. But 360 x 72 = 25,920.
The integer 1200 represents the sum of the years in India for a cosmic cycle. Now
1200 x 201 = 241,200
1200 x 380 = 456,000
1200 x 360 = 432,000
These numbers correspond to the Sumerian tablet list of ten kings who ruled for a total of 456,00 years, a second tablet which lists only eight of these kings with a total of 241,200 years, and Berossos' list.
The Book of Genesis lists ten patriarchs from Adam to Noah and the Flood totalling 1656 years. In the Jewish calendar one year is 365 days. In 23 years plus 5 leap year days we have 8400 days or 1200 seven-day weeks. If we multiply 1200 x 72 we get 86,400 or the number of Jewish seven-day weeks in 1656 (23 x 72) years. Since the Babylonian calendar year was composed of 72 five-day weeks, then in 432,000 days there are 86,400 Babylonian five-day weeks. Then in 432,000 days there are 86,400 Babylonian five-day weeks (432,000/5). Thus the Bible concurs with the other lists as well.
The earth's axis wobble that causes the precession of the equinoxes is given as 25,920 years. Divided by the ancient number called "soss," 60, which was used in calculations, results in 432.
The Greek Ages also bear a close correspondence to the four Yugas of the Hindus: Krita-Yuga, Treta-Yuga, Dvapara-Yuga, and Kali-Yuga. Their method of calculation is described by Ullamudeian as follows:
"In each of the 12 signs there are 1800 minutes; multiply this number by 12 you have 21600; e.g. 1800 X 12=21600. Multiply this 21600 by 80 and it will give 1,728,000, which is the duration of the first age, called Krita-Yuga."
If the same number be multiplied by 60, it will give 1,296,000, the years of the second age, Treta-Yuga. The same number multiplied by 40 gives 864,000, the length of the third age, Dvapara-Yuga. The same multiplied by 20 gives 432,000, the fourth age, Kali-Yuga." (It will be noted that these multipliers decrease in inverse ratio to the Pythagorean tetractys: 1, 2, 3, and 4.)
The Essenes studied the Mysteries of Pythagoras.
His name means Heart (Bel) of the Serpent.
The cycle of the Phoenix encodes the astrological calendar by which they removed 3 days every 630 years. This was expressed in a Pythagorean Triangle of Dimensions 216 by 630 by 666.
6 x 6 x 6 is 216, there are 2160 years in an astrological age, and the Moon is 2160 miles in diameter. The solar metonic calendar using 60 6 day weeks produces 1 extra day every 216 years. There are also 216 Megalithic seconds in a day, and 216 letters in the name of God.
The perfect Calendar would use 60 6 day weeks each made up of 6 hours of 6 6 second minutes, this makes a total of 216 seconds in a day. Every 4th year you add a 61st week to compensate for the leap year.
Every 216 years this calendar will desync by 1 day, or 10 days every 2160 years, the length of an astrological age. There are also 216 letters in the name of God, and Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer, associated with Apollo and all the other healing gods sits at 216 degrees of the Zodiac. Pleiades, aka Isis sits at 33 degrees of the Zodiac, and Hydra, the 100 headed Serpent, or Typhon, takes up 100 degrees of the Zodiac.
The Moon is also 2160 miles wide, and the interior angles of a cube also add up to 2160. This metric system is what the ancient Megalithic builders were encoding into their temples and astrological observatories, and has survived to this day as Astrology and the Zodiac.
It not only gives them the ability to tell the time using the stars, but to navigate the globe, knowing it's dimensions. It also translates to both the Imperial and the Metric system using a Megalithic foot of 2.7 feet. Divide the height of the Pyramid by 2.7 and you get the Square root of Pi, times two give us 354, which is 12 Lunar months of 29.5 days.
The first form of the Bible was written in 325BC, 80 years before and Antikythera mechanism, and was called the Vaticanus Graecus, Son of the Devine Serpent, a reference to Fomalhaut, which is shaped like the all seeing eye, in Aquarius, the sign associated with John the Baptist, who was a Setian, the root word of Satan. Just as israel is the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, Fruit of Isis and Ra.
In the Second Century AD Astrologer Vettori Valentinus used the Vaticanus Graecus to construct a lunar zodiac of 13 months, this correlates to the 18.6/ 19 year Metonic Calendar, found in the earliest known ancient temples, the Bible, Antikythera mechanism, New Grange and the Bru na Boinne, the Chaldeans, Egyptians, Assyrians, Celts, Phoenicians, and inscribed into the Golden Enoch Horns of the Magi, the Eunuch Druid Priests of Cybel, or Kythera, the "Great Mother", (who also has 216 names) in Germany and France. A Druid took 19 years to train, and the Phoenix was associated with 19 flames.
TLDR; the ancient metric system of time used by the builders of the Megalithic sites all over the world directly correlates to the Astrological Zodiac and allows for the surveying of the entire globe.
It's worth noting our current system has 8,640 seconds in a day, just as the sun is 864,000 miles wide. Enoch also wrote 36,525 scrolls, which is 365.25 times 100, the Egyptian number of perfection, which allowed them to calculate things to the second decimal place. The Great Pyramid is a Calendar, based on the Metonic Cycle and the Zodiac, hence the association of Osiris with Orion, and Pleiades Isis, atop the back of Taurus, just as the Phoenician Princess Europa, who rode the Bull. The entire Mediterranean region was also mapped out according to key constellations, marked by these Megalithic structures, which themselves encode these numbers
The Byblos Baal, or Book of Baal is the Phoenician Almanac, a coded book of Astrological cycles used by the Priest Class of Egypt; the Phoenicians, to navigate the oceans. Phoenicians, Celts, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Egyptians and Jews all celebrated their New Year in September, the 7th month, the Sunsign of Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, associated with the healing Gods, and marked by the first New Moon in the 7th month after the start of the Zodiac in Easter, when Ophiuchus is the East Star. In September the East star is Orion, aka Osiris, aka Set, Lord of the Dead. Hence the Aleph, and the Zayim, Alpha and Omega. It's also the Birthday of Jesus, and when he said he would return, at the end of the Age. It's reversed to keep the code secret, and written in metaphor so no one could know what was contained therein.
It's an Enigma Code, literally.
Predict history, like 911.
Like I predicted Trumps Coup attempt to within 14 days based on the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter.
Not because Astrology, but because this is the code that Masons have used for centuries.
"The NWO will begin Sept 17th 2001 during the first New Moon of Rosh Hashanah, Feast of Trumpets, Resurrection of the Dead, the year 6000 of the Great Pyramid Calendar, in order to cleanse the Earth and Humanity in preparation for his Kingdom on Earth"

Well, I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging the speakers were, their passion for their subjects quickly obliterating my assumption that they might be a tiresome drone of information I'd have to carefully pick through to find an interesting piece of knowledge. Thank you all very much and keep up the great work!
Wow. I came to the comments to see if anyone agreed with me that the speakers were droning on and that it is a long presentation of limited interest that you have to search through to find something interest. Exactly opposite. Makes me wonder what is the difference between us.
What a fantastic round table here! Thank you for providing such discussions to the public!
To all the presenters: well done. How exciting to confirm the long distance associations. Many more questions for the future. Thanks again for sharing.😊
This is a fascinating discussion much appreciated. I have had a fascination with Stonehenge since I was a 5th grader over 50 years ago. One critical item omitted from the question about the why the bluestones were quarried and transported from Wales is a report I read that the quarry of rhyolite has a peculiar physical property that when the temperature changes the stone expands and contracts and emits a low audible tone which was felt to have a spiritual significance. The quarry as I understand it has a unique spiritual meaning, I would love to know more about this. LIt would be interesting to know what the local spoken history has to say about this site. I was impressed as I visited Crater Lake in Washington state USA that the Klamath Indians maintained a spoken history of the eruption of Mt Mazuma 7,500 years ago.
Michael Ryan, Crater Lake and Klamath Falls where many Klamath Indians live are both in Oregon, not Washington State. I know because that's where I grew up.
Micheal,Crater Lake is outside of Klamath Falls, Oregon and part of the National forest system . It’s a beautiful drive around Klamath Lake and home to indigenous Klamath tribe. I’m from Klamath and have visited Crater lake many times, its more commercial now but worth the drive up to the lake for the spectacular views .
Many professors have shared already they are sadly satanic ritual sites
Look up Robin Heath's 'Bluestone Magic' and similar titles from Preseli.
Leave the vibration out of this. More science, less woo.
The burials of women from West Wales in the Stonehenge area.....
Fascinating. I constantly try to relate these extraordinary features to the human work involved. To make anything, you need to devote time and resources, which means reducing the effort committed to other tasks. In contemplating the process, you get an idea of the numbers directly and indirectly involved. Someone has to be feeding and housing the workers, someone has to be 'looking after the farm' while the workers are on assignment. All of this takes planning and leadership. It may be speculation, but the process is just as real as the archeology.

My view : Last decades we have built huge circles underground in order to understand the world. We believe the answer (some scientists disagree) to the mysteries of life and the universe is to be found by tearing it apart into small pieces. Another way to understand ourselves and the univerce, is by creating «rooms» in which light and sounds can reflect and ecco.
For sute they had some form of written language; can't build without plans'. Think they kept it all in their heads...ask any builder/ surveyor/ engineer!
@@dominicseanmccann6300 It’s a very complicated issue. The Incas in South America had no written language, but they did use a physical code involving knots on strings, a bit like ticker tape.
Gothic cathedrals we’re designed on paper, but no attempt was made to allow builders to understand these plans. Instead the architect would build a scale model of the cathedral and the builders would copy each piece at real world scale.
In addition you had associated memory tricks, that are still understood today. Huge quantities of information can me memorised using this technique.
Then there are song lines, which work similar to memory association.
A child learns a sacred story in song form. This song becomes an index for a deeper layer of information. This process is repeated and the individual learns to build layers of stories, containing an entire encyclopaedia of information.
Using song to store information was and is common in many pre-literate cultures world wide. From medieval traveling performers, to elite religious communities, and political governments.
As young children my siblings and I spent many happy hours playing on and around the flat stones at Stone Henge.
Thank you for making this excellent presentation available. I learned so much from it.
Btw..in case there's anyone left on Earth, who doesn't know what those carved stone spheres were for....including the Roman Dohecahedran's. Well it's KNITTING. They would have been handed down and very cherished items. Thus why each is unique and generally found in cold regions. I've seen gloves and socks knitted with replicas. In fact a Brit figured it out. Ladies on YT have been giving it go as well, with 3D printed replicas. It makes perfect sense and a very very creative idea. But as i always say, WE wouldn't be here if they were stupid.
Yes you can make diff sizes of clothing articles as well. It's all about threading the yard around the grooves, turning the stone and repeating. Of course there are diff. methods. To each his own.
Great Series, thank you.
wouldnt be here if they were stupid.. well,, heres a fun fact.. we were meant to be wiped out, 13,000 yrs ago.. as no longer needed..look that up.. back in,,50,s. people used to darn socks.. last remnents of these stones.?. so the big, 10 ft round stones, world wide, were for the giants.?.
That's one I'd never heard of. I'd like to see more about that. A link, perchance?
awesome. i want to knit socks. maybe i'll look for a knitting stone! thanks!
Then why are they found in sacred contexts, not domestic ones?
@@elizabethford7263 An interesting rebuttal, yet I am curious about any rational explanation; perhaps a conjoining of both the sacred and the practical? As long as we don't drift into UFO nonsense, I'll listen to anything. But then, I lean towards your argument. Transposing our perception on theirs is fraught with difficulty.
Just discovered this channel! I look forward to watching both past and future postings! Being in the US, I do not have the opportunity to visit the British Museum. This channel now gives me the ability to see watch some of the wonderful items you have as well as able to watch some of the presentations. Thank you!
Excellent talks by all, bringing together different discoveries on the times and activities; how they all tie in. Interestingly I went to Megalithomania conference in 2019 (I'm from NZ) and on the way was taken to Stonehenge, the cursus and Woodhenge, which I had studied for some time. I knew nothing about Durrington walls so we stopped the car and got out to take a look on the corner there at Woodhenge. I was blown away. In my mind's eye I could see this huge geographical circle that stretched right around. Was that because I had no concept of what to expect? It looked to me as if the whole area had been shaped that way. Then funnily enough, a big announcement came out about the discovery of a big circle with post holes. That still didnt appear to be it, but here in this presentation by Eammon, I finally got to see the shape of what I had seen! The huge, greater circle! Thank you all so much for passing across the passion that you all have! I hunger for this information too. I was also taken to the British Museum and I absolutely loved the whole visit.
Thanks so much for mentioning Megalithomania conference. I thought I was the only person who was so very interested in megaliths. Hoping they do a conference next year.
@@maryt9631 They have just had one a couple of weeks ago! Online as well. Of course they will publish on UA-cam in the coming months!
@@Carolevw Thanks so much. I will plan a trip around the conference next year - see you there?

fact..all megalithic structures, not,monoliths, like stone henge, are over 14,000 yrs old. anything, like stone henge, or brick built, is less that 11,000 yrs old.im interested in items over 15k. that,is closer to our beginings. upto 1 million yrs ago. 20 yrs studying stone henge, hell,,id like that job.. talk about draged out.
A brilliant update -I need to go back for a second visit!
I enjoyed all of your presentations.
It was great to hear Phil Harding's name from Allison come up as one of his digs was mentioned. I'm a big supporter of Time Team!!! I miss the old crew!
Anyway, outstanding job!!!
A wonderful talk, thanks so much for putting it online. I was particularly struck by Eamonn Baldwin's presentation, and the extensive geophysical surveys. I noticed in some that there seemed to be a few causeway enclosures in the Stonehenge landscape, which if memory serves are Mesolithic. Seems the area has a very long monumental history.
It is so beautiful to see this new tech being developed for this purpose!!! We are much closer to knowing! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stonehenge Dec.27,2002 !
Was there all afternoon smiling like a Cheshire Cat ! Amazing experience!
Thank you so much for the words written underneath
Thank you for CAPTIONing and captions ( subtitles but also works with CAPTIONing) a plus!
Fascinating, although way over my head. I love learning new things. Thank you!
Keep in mind that Stonehenge was Rebuild 1958. There is a video on UA-cam "Stonehenge Rebuild 1958".
When Obama turned up at stone henge randomly, a picture was taken what is still available now on Google what shows a huge rusted steel slab inside of a huge stone what had the back of it chipped off 🤦🏻,
It’s clear as day a sheet of steel, this isn’t a tinfoil hat theory either lol because like I stated the picture is available on Google.
I don’t believe any of the stones what currently stand at stone henge are legitimate/original 😞
I doubt that information has passed any of these researchers by - in fact it was mentioned by one of the presenters.
My only complaint about this is that it is too short!! Would have loved at least another hour of discussion.
The Stonehenge Exhibit at the BM is mesmerizing and so well done. My friend and I came from the US specifically to see it and were not disappointed!
Thank you for this presentation. The interconnections with Newgrange and Orkney are fascinating and so contrary to the preconception of prehistoric humans as "primitive" and limited to their immediate surroundings. All these presentations demonstrate how advancing technology reveals more and allows us to understand more about our ancestors. It is exciting to both hear the latest and know that more and more will be discovered/revealed in years to come.
Great to see this. Thoroughly enjoyed the speakers, and glad to have an update on Stonehenge. Much appreciated.
Почему нет перевода на русский язык ???
Amazing place, but I found when I went there the admission cost was too much, so we walked to the fence and a very pleasant walk it was.
I’ve found that the cost to see places in England, considering the basic wage , for a family quite expensive for the common worker. Sort of thing only the overseas tourist can afford it.
that's really too bad. worldwide travel has really accelerated since old times, it's crazy. maybe it will reduce if certain things happen...
Used to be free to walk over to places. Now being more restricted. Cost is one way to restrict.
Thank you all so very much from a Brit' abroad who keeps in touch with home country's history partially via videos like this.
What a great way to pass the time while walking on the treadmill.
Liked. Subscribed.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you all.
Fantastic presentation.

Truly extraordinary. The revelations of the LiDAR are revolutionary. Who knew?! Wow
new sub here, i'm thrilled to see more and more prestigious organizations creating a channel on youtube; self education has never been more at hand than now; thank you British Museum
Very interesting to see how many of these monuments were built all over the british isles. However, I'm a bit surprised that the stone monuments across from the channel in France are not encompassed into this story. How do the circles, dolmens, standing stones, and fields of stones there fit into this same cultural history.
It is more useful to consider Stonehenge in the context of which you speak: the prevalence of circular henges throughout England and France. Otherwise, one is left with the impression that this is an astonishing one off. That being said, clearly the focus was on this event.
One item I kept hoping to see (admittedly the exposition went by fast, I could have missed it) was reference to unique, if coincidental, alignment of stratum caused by glacial activity, was it North-South, or East-West, memory fails me, that was an integral part of the "avenue" coming up from the Salisbury Avon. Presumptively, such a visible "engraving" would be of ritual significance.
Didn't Thoth deem to lay examples ALL OVER THE WORLD
Doggerland was flooded and the British channel was made about 5 or 4000bc - apparently. Personally I think it was a bit more recently , or perhaps land bridges still existed for a while there after. Regardles - definitely the same cultures arose before that, spreading all over over weston Europe. I bet there are some wonderful finds waiting at the bottom of the North Sea and the channel.

The English Channel was formed 425,000 years ago, but there was a land bridge during the last glacial maxima. Doggerland was flooded around 6,500 BC.

I had visited Castell Henllys just up the road from Craig Rhos-y-felin when one of the guides suggested I go and have a look at what some archaeologists were doing in the area ... First off - what a beautiful place it is! Very sheltered and pleasant feeling! Initially I looked at it from above on the North side, unsure if I should disturb those working there. Plucking up courage, I went down and in to the site and the young ladies present were really helpful and informative, showing me what they had found and were guessing went on there. The man that I'd seen from above had disappeared - was it Michael Parker-Pearson, or not?
What about the rebuilding of stone hinge where they have pictures of cranes moving the stones and crews working on them.
Agreed. Not much point talking about the “ancient history” of this monument without giving close scrutiny to the recent past.
It was re arranged to it’s new position today from it’s original design as a low technology energy generator, it never was left completely intact. Rearranging molecular cells with electromagnetics or acoustics. All these generators were connected to Ley lines. Some are obsolete because of the continued manipulation by the controlled governments who have usurped and use this technology on a much higher level.
I would suggest looking at their replacements.....high tech telescopes & nuclear power plants.
@@stevenscross5768 sounds legit, will look into this Steven ;)
Stones were recovered from locals gardens after being pillaged and messed with over the years and returned to the site.
How dare u use critical thought that's racist
Interesting and interesting discussions on the original plan for Stonehenge.
Very interesting discussion! Thank you for posting it! 👍👍👍😀
Has anyone checked for quarries in the waters of the coast as there maybe a lower water line when these stones were quarried?
Fabulous presentations - thank you ALL!
Have you any idea where the solitary Sarsen stone in Lampton Park, Hounslow, West London came from?🌈🦉
Please extend the exhibit through the Summer
A very alighting show and glad so much work is still being focused on it.I still have the`1972 booklet printed by Her Majesty's Stationary Office Priced at 10P. I did notice your maps didn't reach Devon and Cornwall any ware in Devon and especially Cornwall as they have some many interesting stone circles and quoits especially down in the Penwith Peninsular. 9riceed 10P. I saw on your maps that you never covered Surly these are all part of the early British stone work John the Pom
An underwhelming but magical and amazing place.
Fascinating presentations, but hard not to be distracted by the subtitles and the attempts to transcribe words the system doesn't recognise!
Yes, it's incredibly annoying, as they are not even in synch.
But some woke idiot at the British Museum thinks it's _"in line with Best Practice"_ to have unintelligible subtitles to confuse the deaf and hard of hearing.

Nicely done thanks to see the new places and old ones that still reviewed and sysmic testing magnetism in the mixes and the dolorite is imported??
I was talking to a park ranger over one of my local parks yesterday and he was talking about stonehenge and how they have a big display cabinet with loads of artefacts in the visitors centre at stonehenge. Iv'e always liked stonehenge and I appreciated it so much more after reading Bernard Cornwell's 'Stonehenge - A novel of 2000 BC'. You know, it kind of really brought stonehenge to life for me.
As you like stonehenge, what do you
think of the Romans?
They knocked it down.
The site where the stones were cut has been clorine dated.
24,0000 years old.
Mindblowing! I’ve read most of Mike Pearson’s books and lots of others’, but this brought so much together.
I’ve been wondering for a long time why Orkney came to dominate the rst of UK with stone circle building and pottery. I used to think that they must have had some new technology (related to farming probablyk), but it could of course also have been ritual as explained here. Also it was new to me how this influencing started way before, from Boine to Orkney, later back again, and also to places along the Atlantic coast of Europe.
Very informative! Thanx a lot
It's always a pleasure to listen to MPP.
In a 2021 BBC documentary Prof Parker-Pearson had proved by the peculiar shape containing a pentagonal imprint of one of the Waun Mawn bluestones that it was a match for one of the Stonehenge bluestones. Now it's not? Hard to know which documentary to consider definitive. It's all absolutely brilliant though and thank you all for your work, dedication and expertise
Fascinating, Thankyou!!! What great speakers 🌻🎶🌟
Are you gonna talk about the 3 times it was rearranged by power equipment before 1957?
The secret society free masons modeled and copied it as perfectly as possible after a painting illustration of an Irish Ruin. The Irish Ruin may not have actually existed. They make enormous profit from this stone henge hoax. It even has modern era concrete cement beginning to show on the stone and close viewing is no longer permitted due to obvious need for re- modeling again. There are numerous photographs of the freemason posing in front of the cranes, survey equipment and excavated holes prior to construction. Real ruins are built far better than this crude piece of crap.
Wonderful to see the indigenous people of that region finally being given a voice. Here in Australia, we have been very successful in instigating a system of native title...next we are hoping to give them a voice in parliament after the work done at Uluru (walking in partnership with the First Nations People, a statement from the heart). a lot more attention to these people and their living culture...
I have a dream that one day the people of this culture can one day as freely celebrate their living culture and connection to country side by side with all the great First Nations Peoples of the World.
Title?
" Wonderful to see the indigenous people of that region finally being given a voice."
What ?
@@DavidMayOnline As in the descendants of the bronze age inhabitants of Britain, whose culture extends back to Stonehenge and beyond finally being acknowledged as having deep cultural links to the land and the inalienable rights that go with that acknowledgment. Everyone seems to get it when it involves the Maori, the Aboriginals, the Fijians, the Amerindians...what makes it so difficult to understand when it comes to the first nations people of the British Isles?
@@amywas1Thank you for the clarification greatly appreciated.
My bemusement was based open how you could try to compare the plight of the
'New World to that of the Old world (As seen from the European prospective) by suggesting that.......
"the indigenous people of that region - Britain - finally being given a voice.
I do not understand the phrase " Finally being given a voice"
I believe that statement was based upon political ideology rather than something you understood.
I see from your reply that I was correct.
@@DavidMayOnline Well, David, close but no cigar. I don't think I even watched the video so, yes, you are quite right literally zero understanding going on here. As for political ideology, maybe not so correct. Sometimes I like to let the artificial "intelligence" which offers up these suggestions on my feed how much contempt I have for it. Specially after repeatedly demonstrates that it clearly has not the slightest respect for my privacy. Throw in a sideways swipe at the hypocritical garbage which I am constantly bombarded with about "community guidelines" and "culturally appropriate" content (none of which cultures apparently value privacy) and I like to throw in a little FU mortar into the mix.
If you managed to get some sort of collateral gratification out of it, then that is perfectly fine with me. Why not?
Cheers.
I was fortunate to visit Stonehenge when it was possible to go inside, touch the stones, and spend as long as you wished. Over the years I have been there many times for. The sunrise. It is indeed a very special place. Yet Avebury is the world's biggest stone circle, and is an amazing thing to see.
Thank you so much for sharing!" Well done !" Applies to all involved!
Just amazing fascinating story of humanity's journey through time and places. the linking of various narrative has only made us look forward to the hunger for finding the next discoveries.
Loved this. Loved it so much!
So who's got the rest of the blue stones and where are they? Has any one actually looked around stonehenge to see if they can be found in and around the local areas?
Bravo on Your Bravery Ladies and Gentlemen 🌞 It’s Awesome the The British beat the U.S. 💚 We are All Family here on Earth after All and You should be very grateful for Disclosure. Love from Texas
Was late in but so interesting. I just dont understand why thousands at least arent watching.
Aye, hundreds of thousands. It is the most fascinating detective story out there.
Thank you for all that info; it will take days to digest and sink in.
As a former construction manager, I'm still mindboggled about the logistics of manpower. Obviously, you need a lot, and when handling those big stones you need it all at the same time.
But you have everything against you. Most of the total time will be spent on having food, shelter and heat.
If you spread out the workforce's lodging, there will be long "commute" time,and if you concentrate it,the area will soon be depleted of wood & game.
Any tool or rope will take much time to make & maintain.
The more I think about how I would organize this, the worse it gets.
I had construction sites with 120ton cranes,lots of big gear, and no worries about lunch or a warm bed in the evening, but when I think of what these people achieved, I feel like a toddler.
Is it ever suggested that stones may have been actually pulled by large cattle from their source locations?
Energy frequency and vibration!
Fascinating. I wonder if the explorers from other areas influenced the erecting of the more permanent structures, bringing with them the blue stones for sacred purposes or even for trade. If the Orkney crew were well known travellers, perhaps they merged into various populations with their beliefs and designs (and their favourite delicacies) becoming popular wherever they landed. Thx for the discussion. My mother-in-law, Patricia Christie, who was a Bronze Age specialist, would have loved to hear your discussions I’m sure even tho a different focus to her own area of expertise.
I'm going to have to watch this about 100 times.....
I find the automated text rather disturbing, I keep noticing incorrect interpretations which could probably even be termed misinformation; If I needed this facility there is the "cc" switch next to the settings function on the bottom toolbar !
The second speaker at 15 30 was the best bit, I went to the fridge and pulled out a few beers for that!
The measurements are perfect. I like that the cores were taken in 58 too
Ingulsbourogh, baxall, Castle naze, mucker, iv seen very similar markes in land scape. Unfortunatly Lidar is missing from every site I try to learn more about.
Enjoyed.... thank you 🙏💙🦋🐎🛸✌️
Did Stonehenge and similar other circular monuments have a very practical purpose of serving as a market fair for farmers, herdsmen, and weavers to sell their products?
why would they need a sacrificial altar and have cremated sacrificed victims in a market foundation? it aligned with the seasonal suns. it must have been regarded as a holy place, with sacred festivals celebrating the equinox etc. They were PAGANS with all the associated trappings of life.
No
never mind the stones ,when does the festivals start again ?
I was at the Free the Stones festival, the druids did a ceremony when the sun came up , morning mist on the floor and sword glinting in the morning sun, a mesmerising sight . We had Hawkwind playing at the time. Hurry on sunrise.
I went to two Stonehenge festivals before they were broken up. Free the stones? Seeing people actually defacing the stones, and chipping bits off to take home was appalling.
I believe the construction of monuments like Stonehenge and Göbeckli Tepe were a response to the greatest inquiry facing modern humans; the mystery of death. Priests were paid big bucks to provide answers and passage to the afterlife. Such questions and demands persist even to this day with evangelical preachers, televangelists and similar hucksters.
Stonehenge drew us like a magnet then and still does today. My brother made incised pottery very similar to the geometric styles here. It was in his Irish/English DNA.

Oh please
🤣 a percent or two at most. The entire population was replaced by the newBrits. People there today have nothing genetic in common with the builders.
Glad you Brits are paying attention to this fascinating site. I visited it around 1990, there was no protection, nor much information there.
We finally woke up to its value. I have a photo of my parents walking right up to the stones in the early 70s (they were allowed to - there were no barriers). It has definitely changed now.
ABSOLUTELY FACINATING🤗🦋
I would suggest that having an entrance facing south east, is more about keeping the chilly wind out, rather than more bizarre explanations.
Well, I would suggest that both explanations - the purely practical as well as the supernatural/religious/cosmological/ritual - are probably true. They are not at all mutually exclusive and belief systems often stem from practical 'solutions' to the ongoing struggles for survival. Do you have a perfectly 'rational' explanation for the existence of these sites in the first place?
@@philroberts7238
I actually think they are the remains of structures, not just ceremonial sites.
It's to make the solstices and equinoxes, just like New Grange and the Great Pyramid. All Megalithic Structures are Syellar Observatories.
Pretty simple really. Today we call it religion
Thank You for sharing 🕊💐🔥❣️🙏
This video has waaay too many commercials.... how does that happen?
Great stuff, I think you need to see Anthony Peratt's work on Stone henge, it will fit nicely with your research......thx.
National Geographic had pictures that theu moved it in 1938. Had a highway to put in up the street. Fascinating.

A profitable hoax. Real ancient structures are not so crude.
Wasn't Stonehenge invented in the 1950's as a Tourist destination?
That was spectacular!
To me those chalk drums look as if they are moulds for making clay plates and for rolling patterns around the edge of clay items.
Does anyone have an idea how these Ancient Builders found the types of stone for their monuments, let alone move it ? All over the world the quarries for the stone used is tens to thousands of miles away, sometimes over sea and is nearly always a stone with a special quality or magnetic property.
The radius “c” given the value of 100 feet or 1200 inches, the angle being 1 degree, the radius of the small circle noted previously being the Chord “BD” resulting in a linear length of 20.9436… inches resulting in a diameter of 41.8873… inches or 1.0639… meters.
StoneHenge What's the connection with the Codford circle 7 miles away standing 144 metres high on a hill without any stones now was their perhaps a alignment ? Their is Large Sandstone on the Isle of Wight nearer than Wales .

Dr Alison Sheridan FBA refers to peoples 3,000 years BCE making the "long and arduous journey" to Orkney.That is a 21st Century view of having to walk and swim all the way by our 21st Century selves. I don't imagine anything about the journey those elites made would have been arduous. In reality back then it would be a pleasant journey on a well-upholstered pony to the coast where some very comfortable big outrigger canoes rowed by tribal lowlifes (mere mortals) along well-known routes with known stops to pick up other canoes of fellow elite celebrants along the route along the coast. Until the entire flottila arrived in prehistoric Orkney. Excellent smoked meats and fish as picnic foodstuffs for the picnics along the journey. Natural intoxicants and fungal hallucinogens. Big barbecues upon arrival in Orkney. Nothing arduous but more spiritual, exciting, mind-blowing, cosmic...
sounds like sht to me..tell me, how they transported 35 ton diorite, granite,ect.. & dont fkn say donkey..or boat..go try lift 100kg..over rough terrain, hills, rocks, slopes..theres nothing spiritual, religious, or death,,connected to these monuments..
@@harrywalker5836 They didn't take the stones of Stonehenge with them to Orkney. Orkney was just an annual social trip. Why wouldn't they use a well-built boat to cross the sea? Are you suggesting they swam whilst carrying "35 ton diorite rocks"? I think you may be confused.

Thank you for your presentation. I was wondering if you ever connected with the history, and archeological findings in Lepenski Vir and Vinca in Serbia ( old civilizations old between 10, 000 - 2,000 years old. These monuments remind of a Koledar, Calendar monuments turning the same way, following the Sun's circulating for 13 moons (months), the New year starting in the spring, the rebirth of the Sun every winter solstice (Dec. 21), and the old erbian calendar that is counting 7500 some years.
Sp how did they transport the stone, with horse and buggy, did they quarry it with hammer and chisels too, like everything else!?
If Stonehenge is a calendar of some sort and has such precise lining with the sky clock then I would like to hear how continental drift doesn’t come in to play for that many years.
Because continental drift is so slow that 5 or 10 thousand years wouldn't amount to much as far as the alignments regarding Stonehenge.
@@mkor7 thanks for your answer Martin but on another official report about the pyramids are 7 miles from there original spot. So what I guess I am asking is there a different belief on the amount of drift or is there more than one set of rules or equations that they gauge them off of.
An obvious square ( rectangle) at Castlerigg. Like a big stone bed
This was fascinating.
So it is suggested that the sarsens were brought from West Woods, near Avebury, 17 miles as the crow flies. The heaviest stones, the uprights of the trilithons weigh over 40 tons. I await with interest an attempt to bring a concrete replica from there to Stonehenge, using the means thought to be available 4,500 years ago. An attempt to bring a very much lighter bluestone replica from Wales soon ended in disaster. It would not be very difficult for us today, using cranes and a low, multi-axialed trailer, used to move things like steam locomotives.
Agreed 💯
People need to realize there wasn't motorways then either...
No roads? Thick forests covering a direct route, going uphills or down downhills.
Mind boggling
They used vibration
Right? 🥴
It.was ETs?
Because that's a far more reasonable and scientific approach 🙄
@@uncannyvalley2350 yes they were green ones not grey one's ✅☄️
Nothing makes me lunge to change a channel faster than the words "alien" and "UFO." Truly these forebearers were every bit as smart, or even smarter, than us contemporaries who indulge in silicon and petrol. The worked, and thrived, in a different, lithic, medium with as much ability as we like to claim (truth be told I could not dig an adequate hole, much less move a blue stone).
If you want to move very heavy objects, you do it by boat. The rivers and seas are highways, not barriers.
here's a question for you, why, are some of the standing stones, worked, with a 45% angle at their top ? it seems, that nobody, has bothered, to answer this point ?
47:00 - How to explain the explosion of monument building, accompanied by the presence of two genetically segregated populations?
I see this as evidence of slavery. That is, stratified social classes organized around compulsory labor. Thus wealth concentrated in the upper classes as evidenced by richer burials and public works. Monuments legitimized the ruling class by inspiring awe, and by connecting the rulers to the gods and to cycles of nature. All this was made possible by the rise of agriculture, which allowed a high degree of control over the labor force and the harvest. By contrast, hunter/gatherer societies were too diffuse to control.
Thank you
It occurs to me that if we had a time machine, we could approach the builders and ask them about their methods - - but this, then as now, would be an incredibly dangerous thing to do.
what if they moved stones around a circle?
Was under the impression that Blue Stones, Middle section of Stonehenge were from West Wales up from Carmarthen & that it was where they came from Prisselli many other reasons where given were given last time it was spoken about !Pagan times wasnt it ??
I was under the same impression
Thank you.
But why did they build it so close to the A303, was it so they could eat at Toby’s Calvary?
