    One term that needs to be added here is: 'Hieros Gamos': the 'Holy Marriage' (between the 'gods'). A term that's used in many 'esoteric' organisations.

    One strange thing about Rapa Nui: no mention that it’s a Chilean Island. Then, in Bolivia the use of «w» and «k» letters which never existed in aboriginal languages and that were «translated» like Tihuanacu the original name in Spanish literature to «Tiwanaku» totally inaccurate.

    Comment Author: Terwiliger

    You can't possibly be suggesting that lizard-headed statues mean there were lizard-headed people. By that logic, Egyptians' legs were on the same plane as their hips, there were dog-headed Egyptians, there were minotaurs on Crete, there were Indian women with 4 or more arms, there were Indian men with Elephant heads... This anthropomorphic chimerism occurs in the art/mythology/religion of just about every culture that has ever existed. To think that any of these fantasy statues suggest that such creatures actually is nonsense.

    No. You're leaving out mass depopulating events and subsequent repopulatng. If you're going to be that literal, the near extinction caused by the flood skews the numbers by a magnitude you can't possibly know. Mass depopulating events such as plagues, famines, and wars (the rise and fall of numerous empires) would have reduced populations by massive amounts at every occurrence. Figure in all those events with mass depopulation and subsequent recovery and that "simple" number you start your regression with isn't so simple.

  • Reply to: More Than Summer Solstice - Prehistoric Calendar Revealed at Stonehenge   7 years 10 months ago
    Comment Author: Joan Rankin

    Much of what you say is quite true and I have lived in a place for more than 40 years and have been able to watch the Sunset every evening when it wasn't raining or snowing............and over time I knew where about the sun should be at Summer Solstice etc.

    Farming is mostly the weather. I have planted at the end of May but this year, planting might be ok in a couple of weeks. You harvest when things are ripe. You don't need a calendar for that.

    In 3000 BCE people were very much into astrology and astrologers then were astronomers. Astronomy is at the root of surveying and navigating. There is plenty of proof on the landscape of many countries were people have been surveying. If you wanted to go out to sea, you needed to know astronomy and navigation which was based on that astronomy.

    From the grave goods in some of the barrows we can see that there were elites. With elites usually come the shaman? priests? astronomer/astrologers? or all those things. They set the feast days which were based on the calendar and it would be very handy to be able to tell folks to get ready for the feast in ten days. Your average farmer was not going to be able to tell you that by just looking at Sunset. Ordinary folks never did figure out eclipses, that was kept secret and used. That knowledge was power to those who knew how to use it.

    We take calendars for granted, every device has one. Eclipses are a curiousity, no longer something to fear and we have GPS to take us anywhere. But then there was only the stars, the Sun and the Moon to keep track by.

    I read that book many years ago. I found it fascinating but then I realized that the Aubrey hole circle could be used as a day by day calendar to count off a Solar year and a Lunar year. It can predict eclipses in several ways and keep track of the cycles of the planets which were followed at that time. I did my own astronomy because Hawkins was using the Heel stone for Summer Solstice Sunrise but it still hasn't risen there. Along the way we discovered other astronomy which made the calendar even more interesting. I never understood that Hawkins never saw that 6.5 x 56 = 364 + 1 = 365. That book got me into this.

    Stonehenge Decoded by Gerald S Hawkins 

    This book, copyrighted in 1965 and republished in 1993 by Barnes and Noble, is well worth reading as his analysis of Stonehenge's Aubrey Holes reveals striking evidence they are directly related to the lunar cycle. They also are accurate predictors for lunar eclipses. Also he discovered other solar/lunar correspondences which I am not going to attempt to explain.  

    Hawkins approached Stonehenge as a puzzle to be solved.

    "Hawkins decided to investigate the reason for that particular, peculiar arrangement of stones and holes at Stonehenge. He stood at each position and measured it's various alignments. . . .Back in Cambridge MA he fed the measurements he had taken into a huge computer and his original theories were confirmed: 

    -The archways and stones point to the extreme standstills of the sun and moon on the horizon.

    -The mysterious Aubrey Holes were probably used to predict the movements of the sun and the moon, and eclipses. Stonehenge was a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived astronomical observatory, used by three different groups of people over a 400 year period beginning around 2000 BC." (From dust jacket Stonehenge Decoded published 1993.)

    I do suggest those who wish a scholarly read by an astronomer once associated with the Harvard-Smithsonian Observatories in Cambridge MA, where while working with Sir Bernard Lovell discovered the daylight meteor streams, read this interesting and informative book which has scholarly proofs! 

    Why this book, which is never mentioned in the many articles and videos which have proliferated in modern media, has been gathering dust for years I just don't understand! 

    Please! Somebody rescue this book from the obscurity to which it has been consigned!

    The best example of such speculations still has to be "The Great Pyramid Decoded". However we must ask ourselves WHY exactly people become obsessed with calendars and "ley" lines and imagine it a Great Discovery that the sun rises at a certain point at the same place every year depending on your viewpoint and position....

    Not to unkind, BUT, unfortunately we can all make exactly the same observations at home and mark then on the window or the garden wall or whatever, and we can all do this without having to build pyramids, or Henges, or Karnac or Avebury or Callaneish or Northgrange.

    Just as we all have watches, so too very probably did the ancients, as this kind of knowledge is not the sort that can be kept secret by some sort of "sacred priesthood".

    ANY group of stones, or trees can be turned into a clock or a calendar, and there are a myriad of easily readable signs in Nature indicating sowing times etc- ask any farmer anywhere on Earth.

    So NO! that was not the purpose of these standing stones, or any others, in that it was not there reason for being, or the cause of their being transported with difficulty and put up in a pattern. If you go to Carnac in France there are a lot of stones. There are a lot of stones at Avebury, and unlike Stonehenge, you do not get charged £20 to see them!!

    But they are just stones. Back in the day, there was no TV or radio. There was no writing, no literature that we know of, and Asterix and Obelix just needed something to do that would create an interesting activity and a community, maybe somebody thought, we could create something that will impress and yes, possibly mystify future generations, just like artists do now. They could just be sculptures.

    It seems I have made an error about Venus. For 56 years from 3170 to 3114 BCE Venus did rise at the Heel stone. Then I checked 2019 CE and Venus was rising at the Heel stone again.

    However, after checking this out in more depth, I found that Venus rises between about 48 degrees to about 58 degrees. This drift is very slow and because I found it rising at the Heel stone for 56 years and then again in 2019 I assumed it always rose there every eight years on Summer Solstice.

    One should never assume anything.

    I bet Just after china was united as one country by first emperor, the silk road then provided better trade for china and egypt for element trade. Do both china and egypt use blue and purple ? or as i see, they may have decided one use the other, thus each had their own uniqueness.. Anyone want to object my story, provide proof i am wrong, would like to read it :) i am not assuming i am right. But i bet i am right.

    Dinosaur sculptures are upon the walls of Angkorwat Temple , Combodia, thousands of inka stones have pictures with humanoids figure with Dinosaurs and in this article just a re-creative painting debunked of an artists' imagination and in real painting there is a humanoid figure not humans' and this debunking can't state that human footprints with Dinosaurs or yeti footprints are hoax , you have to do equal labor to do that and in Mahabharata , there are mentioned big reptilian beings written 5000 years ago in Sanskrit , be in peace !!!!!!

    The Altar stone used in the Stonehenge model is from the Forest of Dean Quarry, and is a Bixhead Blue, which is a micaceous sandstone. Souden (1997) states, "The central altar stone also came from Southwest Wales; it is usually identified as a greenish sandstone with mica, from the Cosheston Beds of the south coast, although other possibilities have been advanced". Duff & Smith (1992, pg 188, 189) indicate that the rocks of the Forest of Dean belong to the Devonian group and the Cosheston group, outcroping in South West Wales is included in this group (Centre for Heritage, Archaeology, Stone & Masonry Structures).

    Are you sure that you are correct in referring to "Stone 59" as being the Altar Stone? We would agree that the evidence can be debated as to whether the original Altar Stone, which I believe is marked as Stone 80 on the 'Ancient Monuments Branch, Ministry of Public Building and Works' plan, would have been lying or standing. In fact the Altar Stone at the Maryhill 'Stonehenge Veterans Memorial' was constructed in the lying position.

    Before commenting on the description we have given for Trilithon 59 as "Parallels", we would respectfully suggest that you read our reasoned and evidenced based argument that we have given on pages 50 - 54 of our paper 'The Stonehenge Carvings'. Once you have read this you will understand that there is nothing coincidental about why this carving was on this stone. You will also read that whilst it has been termed the "Parallels" in fact that there was something more to discover on this Trilithon.

    You made reference to the work of Professor Mike Parker Pearson of UCL regarding the Altar Stone; he has been advised of our findings.

    myths and legends do have an element of truth in them but i think if you take every thing that is said divide it by 2 and take away 30 youll have the closest thing to the truth !

    Yes. Can you share more information with me.
    I have reason to believe i am a "Queen" or am somehow connected to these ant people.
    I live in New Mexico and have been surrounded by a hive mind of people who have been talking to me indirectly wherever i go. I know it sounds nuts but it is my experience. I am a male but t hey always refer to me as "She" I recently had an overwhelming drive to go to Dulce but decided not to for fear of not coming back out of the surface... I had a very vivid lucid dream of a luminous white segmented being that was very small i thought was my mother and then when i looked closer i realized it was about 8 inches tall and at the very end moment before awakening it moved it's arms to look like the way Preying mantis' look. Simon parkes talks about being raised by the mantid race.

    And before the Christians came, the natives were wiping each other out, some in wars that literally spanned years, and resulted in stories passed down through generations, about so many dead you couldn't walk the ground for the bodies. Of whole tribes and peoples being wiped out. HUMANS will fight and disagree and war and kill each other until kingdom come, It is the one thing that knows no race, color or creed, even if people use that as the excuse.
