We take time out during filming at STONEHENGE (and make an appeal).

- We were granted access to film inside the stones at Stonehenge recently for our Göbekli Tepe to Stonehenge project but broke off for a moment out to share our thoughts to camera. This is how it turned out.
We'll be sharing the results of our filming at Stonehenge soon. Not only did we visit Stonehenge but also Blick Mead, Woodhenge, Winterbourne Stoke, The Avenue and the West Woods - where the huge sarsen stones originally came from. Needless to say - HOURS of footage to make into content for you. Watch this space.
We wouldn't be able to do this however, without the support of some very kind people (including Jennifer of English Heritage - who makes an impromptu appearance). Of course that includes those who have supported us directly through our Buy Me A Coffee campaign. Please take a moment and follow the link below to see if you can help.

My father used to take me to take me to these sites, Stonehenge, Avebury, West Kennet etc, 60 years ago and they still hold fascination for me even now.
The tremendous importance to the people who built it and everything that it represents.
I just the emotion you both feel about the grandeur and magnificence of our ancestors. I love it. Thank you
Temple Grandin, who is on the autism spectrum, wrote a book (with assistance), explaining how animals think. They use images, as do we all, until we learn to speak, read and write. Because of Grandin's autism, she also thinks primarily in images, and thus understands animal behavior from the inside.
So yes, it is perfectly natural to have a preverbal response to seeing the stones up close.
A fun Sunday greeting! Love seeing you guys!
I like watching Rupert think 🤔 Great luck continuing the project👍
I just watched the Northern Mudlarks drag a bit of stone, at least their own weight, up a seashore and back to the garden and after their struggle these huge stones hit me even harder!
Standing in the middle of Stonehenge is a wonderful experience. Only there do you really get to fully feel its presence.
I was fortunate enough as a kid to be able to visit Stonehenge before direct access to the stones was stopped. that would be in the 1960's!
During WW2, my father was a GI and mother was in the English Land Army. Father was in Supply and had access to Army Jeeps. He and his friend commondeered two jeeps to date my mother and her friend. They went to Stonehenge, a restricted area. Mother said they chased rabbits all around Salzbury plain and around Stonehenge. They saw the MPs lights approaching and the hid the jeeps behind huge hay bales until the MPs left. How many people have war stories like that!
You two! Glad to check you out after quite awhile. Alright I 'll buy you a coffee you deserve one.
I was lucky, as we now know, to have walked around inside the henge and touched the stones as a 10 (ish) year old on our way to or from a holiday to Cornwall (which was a long track from Cheshire and not a routine holiday destination for northerners in the 1970s). I also worked alongside the guys who drilled and sampled the stones, in the mid-1980s when I was doing my PhD. That was also when I first came across the ancient trade routes as evidences by the movement of hand axes around the Med and into NW Europe.
Was at Thornborough/Thornbury henges last weekend , I found it very emotional. These places exude emotional energy imo
My most memorable memory of my visit to the henge in 2007 was going down into the Salisbury Plain and seeing the henge off in the distance and watching it getting larger and larger.
For the first minute I was under the impression you were standing in front of a greenscreen! Something about the movement of the stick camera, the bright light and the sharpness of foreground and background..
But great job, can’t wait to see more on Stonehenge later
Can you please do a program showing just how sophisticated and comfortable the lives of the builders of Stonehenge were. With their advanced houses and clothing etc. So many people get the impression that Stonehenge was almost built by cavemen! Thank you 🙏 😊🥃🏴🤞
It's a good point and I'm sure it's something that we'll be doing our best to incorporate in the final output from our filming here. Much to discuss and sometimes it's easy to forget that many people have the impression you describe. M😊
for all we know, Stonehenge was THE place for latest fashion releases for the neolithic Who's Who.
Yes, I would love to understand how a society without paper and pencils, without modern mathematics or engineering can design and build something this complex. I almost feel charlatans like Von Daniken had a point.
Language including mathematics precedes writing.
According to Freud it has something to with sex
After visiting Stonehenge, I completely agree with Rupert that you can get quite emotional coz I did.
Cracking stuff!
Amazing stuff, thanks.
~ Hi. Without the notion of the hermeneutic, shamanistic... evoking a " Light " ( and dark ) of existence, then these are just useful rocks.
the crows wewe saying my familys been pooping up heer for thousands of years
Do the megaliths of Malta belong in the series? Thanks for all the vídeos, guys!
Dad took me there on the way back from Cornwall, it was cold, wet, and windy! I was totally unimpressed with these ragged, dirty stones. 1963? Is the awe of history a learned experience only?

At first glance I thought the background was Gobekli Tepe!
1st like and comment ❤️👍
Well done ❤😊
Great 😂 😅❤ the more arguments and disputes over his story the better 😊😂❤❤❤ send the Legions in 😂😂😂😅❤❤
@@richardkelly9156 that's what I wanted to say 😂
I'm pretty sure you already told us but I forgot which entry point to Britain you will go for, or maybe you'll mention a few. The farmers crossed the Channel and the Bay of Biscay right? But I understand the habit of sticking stones in the ground travelled down from Orkney. All very interesting.
😢 come and gone!
Must have been The Birds 😮
cool!
Danke!
Thank you so much @juditallwinger726 !!
a small observation for you. Those same fertile crescent farmers (in a broad sense at least) also went to India as well as western Europe. I dont know to what extent (very) early neolithic society(ies) was culturally diverse, but it is surely an interesting question to ask regarding different cultural response, given the difference between the two migratory waves that moved across western Europe. IMO it is likely to be more complex than we think. Also how much was it a migration of people verses ideas) ? If I recall the DNA analysis correctly, both Europe and India were subject to migration from the Caspian Sea/Steppe region at the beginning of the Bronze age as well.
Thanks
Thank you very much Victoria!
Don't touch the stones! ha ha. I remember my ticket to Inside the Stones tour of Stonehenge. Terribly windy and cold day. So glad you had it easier.
I don't mean to be a downer but I found SH to be a bit underwhelming compared to Avebury with its more magnificent hugeness and spread-out-ed-ness over the landscape.
I haven't stood that close to the stones since the night before the razor wire went up. Strangely, I remember thinking exactly the same thing sitting on a sarsen that night - that "there are certain stones that are really tidy and certain stones that are really messy...". The thought was interrupted by the arrival of a nervous security guard with imaginary dogs who ended up sitting next to us for ten minutes sharing the experience. Point though is that parts of Stonehenge's reconstruction don't feel quite right and that feeling tends to be stronger at night with the stars overhead. Another impression I always get is that they didn't construct all those lintels if they weren't intended to support something. Gobekli Tepe gives me the same feeling, those stones aren't that shape for no particular reason. These monuments were covered: what we see today was probably completely hidden from view - even underground - in the past.
The reconstruction is poor in parts.
The stones circle an imaginary exit from the under world. One of many.
Archaeologists ignore that these people were obsessed by lines of site to the horizon and the varying exits and entrances.
They were flat earthers.
The guy from ancient architects did a very good reconstruction video of gobekli tepe with a roof. He's a very conventional character too, no ancient aliens or any of that!
And that may be why these have been built. As a sign, it's arrived. Nibiru
"What were they thinking?!"
Is Malta in it ?
Avebury is more impressive imho, and the red lion is a nice pub..
My Mum says, Stonehenge, was built by dinosaurs.
Your have to remember Stonehenge went through a rebuild in the early 20th century.
Go back on the summer, Solstice. I pretty sure they're not lining up... the Earth's tilt has Increased.
The twa corbies are probably saying “what are those two old farts saying to one another?”
Maybe it two for joy 😊
mr blue stone ... hmm you could try to rewrite the lyrics of mr. blue sky by elo ;-)
Ah - that's what I was thinking of! 🤣
Well that was anticlimactic. All the way to Stonehenge and...
You ain't seen nothing yet!!! Hours of stuff to make into content. M.

NAC
😂😂😂😂
And yet; no foxes or boars or people on the uprights at all. Just NO apparent connection to the Tepe's at all.
The connection is farming, how farming spread from the Levant/ Turkey to Britain
Stonehenge is fake
Which is the best way to support? I use USD. Coffee or UA-cam $?
Thank you so much! Coffee is best. UA-cam takes a large commission. 😊
