Exciting Announcement!

Today I have some exciting news for all the readers of this blog. I’ve just published my 3rd book in E-book format with Paperback and Hardcover versions being released on May 10th, 2025. The title of the book is Revealing Earth’s Hidden Past: Ancient Civilizations and Extraterrestrial Influence. One of the reasons I chose to publish a book on this subject matter is that my blogs on this topic…

Unlike Sun-focused Stonehenge and other megalithic monuments, Tomnaverie and similar stone circles hint at the Moon’s importance to ancient people.

These arrangements of giant boulders are so ancient and yet feel so familiar that they seem like portals, enabling access to somewhere that is both distant and connected to us. I think this is as their makers intended.

But one collection of stone circles stands apart. In northeastern Scotland, stone circles are related not to the Sun, but to the Moon. And they all possess a unique, defining trait: They contain a recumbent stone, a large stone on its side, flanked by two upright stones. The recumbent rocks are usually found on the south or southwest arc of the circle—where the summer Moon is prominent in the sky.

Some of the boulders in these stone circles contain red jasper, connoting blood. Some of them are flecked with quartzite, suggesting the Moon, and quite literally reflecting its light. The most otherworldly of these stone circles, to my mind, is called Tomnaverie, located about 30 miles west of Aberdeen.

Stonehenge Mysteries: Men, Mystery, and a Marvel of a Monument

Stonehenge is a megalith organized on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, and like all ancient monuments, it has been fascinating for centuries. The construction of the pillars that form the ceiling is thought to be so tall and symbolic that it creates curiosity. Though the available knowledge regarding Stonehenge remains unbiased, several issues are still mired in controversy. This typical blog post focuses on Stonehenge mainly in terms of the purpose of its construction, the methods used in construction, and the celestial purpose that was assigned to the stone circle.

The Purpose of Stonehenge

Arguably, one of the most frequently asked questions about Stonehenge is about the monument’s function. There are a number of theories that, when examined, are proffered with much rationale as to why they should be accepted.

A Ceremonial Site

Due to its construction complexity and its specific layout, Stonehenge was expected to be used ceremonially. This indicates that it was used in religious observances since it has an alignment with the sun solstices of the summers and winters. The main structure of the Heel Stone was placed to align itself with the sun rise on the summer solstice, which suggests solar cult or agricultural rituals.

A Burial Ground

A study carried out on human bones pulled from various digs in and around Stonehenge suggests that it served as the burial place of individuals. Cremated remains were observed at the site, indicating that it was one of the important burial grounds for the elites or people of higher rank in that period and was in use as early as 3000 BC. But this theory fits with the belief that Stonehenge was built as a shrine for ancestor spirits.

A Healing Center

There are theories that certain elements of the monument, as well as the placement of Stonehenge as a whole, were intended to allow for this. A couple of skeletons bearing marks of diseases and wounds that may have been fatal imply that those in ailing states could trek to the shrine with the hope of being healed. The bluestones used in the construction of the circle were believed to have healing virtues, and these originated in Wales.

An Astronomical Observatory

One of the dominant theories is that the grand monument was an ancient observatory, and the stones were aligned with specific stars. This is consistent with the idea since the precise laying down of stones correlates with the occurrence of solstices and equinoxes. It could have probably been utilized in the prediction of astronomy, which helped in agriculture and the scheduling of religious ceremonies.

The Construction of Stonehenge

Historians and archaeologists have marveled at the creation of Stonehenge, which is a circle of stones. No technology was available, and yet it was quite intriguing how the prehistoric people moved and set up those large stones.

Transporting the stones

Stonehenge consists of two types of stones: sarsen stones and bluestones of the neolithic period from western Asia and Europe, respectively. The giant sarsen stones, which each weigh up to 25 tons, may have come from the Marlborough Downs, located 32 kilometers away. These were the smaller bluestones that could weigh up to 4 tons and were transported from Preseli Hills in Wales, more than 240 km away.

Earlier, it was assumed that the construction was transported using sledges and rollers, and later through water bodies. Such an immense operation would have necessitated proper planning in terms of human labor and advanced engineering.

Erecting the Stones

Even when the stones were on site, another problem arose as to how best to put them up or raise them. Currently, ancient writers have posited that prehistoric builders employed a system of earth ramps and wooden beams to lift the construction pieces and maneuver them to their appropriate positions. The lintels, or horizontal stones, were fitted and locked in position through the use of mortise and tenon joints, a sign of the high technicality that had been attained.

Precision and planning

Because there are only megaliths arranged in a circular fashion within the walls of Stonehenge, constructing the monument was a highly precise undertaking that needed careful planning as well as knowledge of geometry and astronomy. They are arranged neatly in a cyclic fashion, and several of them are oriented in specific positions depending on the rightful rites associated with stars. The sophistication of the measurements and the accuracy of the alignments show the builders must have been skilled people with knowledge.

Celestial Alignments

Another interesting historical fact about Stonehenge is that the construction of the circle was to have some kind of correlation with some astronomical phenomena. The feature has had people believing that it was used for astronomical purposes since it was created.

Solstices and Equinoxes

Arising from the above, it can be well argued that Stonehenge was well-aligned to create a solar calendar with shadow markers that pointed directly to the summer and winter solstices. As such, during the summer solstice, the sun reverses its position over the Heel Stone, rises directly at the monument, and provides a shadow through the heart of the stones. This formation can be observed during the shortest day of the year, the winter solstice, when the sun sets in the direction of the Altar Stone. Such alignments indicate that Stonehenge wanted to signify the change of seasons, something that was indeed important in civilizations that dealt with farming.

Lunar Alignments

However, it is not only solar alignments that have been associated with Stonehenge; lunar relationships are evident as well. Some stones are oriented north-south, east-west, and large stones lie parallel to the moon; the builders may have monitored the lunar cycle. It could have been used to estimate eclipses of the moon or some other event, and this has been achieved when its current facet aligns with a past instance.

When can Stonehenge be crowned as having the enduring mystique of Stonehenge?

Nonetheless, the mystery enveloping Stonehenge remains intact since there are countless theories developed by researchers, but the monument still has many secrets. The intent behind its creation, the architectural techniques used in building it, and the connection with astronomy continue to be the objects of discussion and wonder. These monuments oppose the question of historical relevance by holding immense aesthetic and cognitive appeal for multi-generational scrutiny.

Stonehenge is not just a set of stones set together; it is a dynamically creative structure erected by our forefathers. This alignment with the stars, together with the effort that went into the construction of the monument, shows how the value system of paleolithic people pegged heavily on the physical environment.

It does make you think that as people carry on digging around Stonehenge and researching it, will more features and facts surrounding the monument be revealed? Nevertheless, the true purpose of Stonehenge can be explained only in riddles, and a shadow of it is still being whispered to inspire and amaze people around the world, all the while making them think about our ancestors’ genius in the field of architecture.

Thus, having analyzed the mysteries of Stonehenge, we opine that it is beneficial to get closer to understanding the achievements of the ancestors. If, indeed, Stonehenge functioned as a meeting place for the elite to conduct rituals, an emplacement for burying the dead, a sanctuary to solicit healing from gods, or a site to conduct an astronomical calendar, it remains today as a testament to mankind’s wisdom and efforts to learn about the world.

holy shit XD I've never heard the legends of Cu Roi before, a half-demon man who fought Cu Chulainn over one of his lovers. This story has me completely amused. And he has a huge burial site after his passing. It's amazing how mythological legends can combine with historical monuments.

edit: he was also a massive ally of his forces, i'm learning as i go along ^^

Cnogba / Knowth • 1

Some pics from my tour to Cnogba/Knowth. Don't even know what to say aside from it blew me away. It's huuuge and the kerbstones are so captivating it was so hard to peel myself away to get the bus back. Art over 5,000 years old and *I* got to see it. Jsjshskdkdhsj

The satellite mounds and their passages and the entrance stones and their standing stone alignments were also incredible

Crying on both the inside and the outside that the eastern entrance is obscured by the metal stairs like, people walk right by, don't even notice it, it's not part of the tours but hello?? The eastern passage and it's timber circle outside? The remains of ritual deposits outside and the grave goods inside?? The MACEHEAD??

OPW if u see this ilu but plz unbury the eastern passage it deserves just a little more dignity >.>

The western passage's entrance is the last two pics, it's nice and cleared, and you can see the entrance stone's designs and the aligned standing stone very well

The Sorginetxe Dolmen, is a prehistoric monument located near the town of Salvatierra/Agurain in the Basque Country.

Dating back to around 3000 BC, it's one of the most beautiful and well-preserved megalithic monuments in Euskadi. Sorginetxe is a Basque term meaning "house of Sorgin" or "house of witches". In Basque mythology, it is said that it was built with large raised stones, brought by night by the sorginak or sorgiñak on the tip of their distaffs. Many places and megalithic monuments in the Basque Country bear a name that refers to the Sorgin (Sorgin zilo, Sorginetxe).
