Ancient technology or extra-terrestrial intervention? there is much to substantiate the probability but this is ignored by mainstream science and history.anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02931330128135957439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-8693473662219145012013-02-07T17:03:13.868-08:002013-02-07T17:03:13.868-08:00The powers that be do know, this is repressed to k...The powers that be do know, this is repressed to keep the present social order, all about control.anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02931330128135957439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-78242211747534491112013-02-07T16:47:15.144-08:002013-02-07T16:47:15.144-08:00Almost - Divination is a useful 'tool'.Almost - Divination is a useful 'tool'.anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02931330128135957439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-72474199483680399572013-02-07T15:57:15.340-08:002013-02-07T15:57:15.340-08:00Very well said, Anthony, very well indeed.

A lot has been added to the literature since then, with some ideas confirmed by physical evidence and some looking less plausible. Last year, visiting Stonehenge, we saw some of the recent excavations that have helped elucidate the development of that site, and I recently saw a documentary on connections with other ancient sites, such as Avebury and Silbury Hill, via sight-lines - with a postulation that there was once a prehistoric long-distance communication system. <br /><br />What I don't know is how much work has been done in continental Europe, looking for similar patterns. Ancient as they are, the prehistoric monuments are trackways are still relatively recent compared to the timescale of human occupation. I'm sure there are far older, more subtle traces of the old ones to be found, if only we knew what to look for.Calvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640148105202971907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-49081606177269056842013-02-06T15:49:23.903-08:002013-02-06T15:49:23.903-08:00Ah, Jayme, there are some questions that may never...Ah, Jayme, there are some questions that may never be answered.

You most certainly have not been rude and I appreciate your frankness. For me, as for, say, Isaac Newton, rational explanations are not exhaustive; there is a deeper level of wisdom and experience, things, as I said above, that we dismiss at our peril, things that Shakespeare and so many others in the past were sensitive to. I reverence the past and I reverence tradition. <br /><br />The thing is, you see, there are patterns that simply cannot be apprehended by reason alone. Ley lines, as I indicated above, is just a modern form of something altogether more ancient. My paganism, incidentally, is not that far removed from Wittgenstein's mysticism. Whereof we cannot speak thereof we must be silent? No, we must look and wonder.

I wonder how people discovered the locations to build the various sacred sites?

You come across as extremely well educated and very intelligent. However your pagan beliefs and your attributing as yet unexplained phenomena as having some supernatural connection is to me mildly disturbing. As I cannot understand when a person who is obviously as rational and objective as you are can entertain such thoughts. I dismiss ley lines because as the more scientifically minded have pointed out that if they truly exist they are constructed by people in the past who held beliefs without the benefit of any real understanding of the laws of nature. Also ley lines collapse when it can be seen that when drawing straight lines on a map almost anything can with a little bit of imagination be construed to have some connection. I once played with an Ouija board and it scared the hell out of me. Eventually I put out of my mind that it had any supernatural connection as I understood that the human senses quite often pick up signals that baffle the mind so the mind gives back the best interpretation it can. As we have the capacity to be very imaginative what the mind can tell us under these circumstances can be quite strange yet to many believable. It is a pity that I am currently in Canada and not in the UK as if I were I would probably be living near enough to Wooton that I could attend and have the pleasure of meeting you and experiencing an haunted house. At the same time I could apologise for this comment of mine as I believe on this occasion I have been a bit rude to you.Antistheneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120647617145756102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-28631534331408009722013-02-05T19:13:31.187-08:002013-02-05T19:13:31.187-08:00Earth Mysteries by Philip Heselton, 1995 Element B...Earth Mysteries by Philip Heselton, 1995 Element Books Limited Shaftesbury, Dorset SP7 8BP.

He probably consumed a few pints at the Ancient Ram Inn. The Cotswold Way passes through the town, and I am reminded of Edward Thomas who used to walk and write about these old pathways.<br /><br />The Shakespeare stuff interests me also. After seeing a production of The Tempest, I remember thinking how close the author was to a medieval worldview. Magic was real for him.Mark Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506844097173520312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-88805451408117342752013-02-05T18:46:14.166-08:002013-02-05T18:46:14.166-08:00What an intriguing piece!

Love the way you started with Shakespeare. <br /><br />I am not superstitious but I am definitely not the type who think all the traditional beliefs or customs superstitious. I even think, maybe, only maybe, ancient people had some more direct connection to "unknown". And I do believe in "energy". So this ley lines really make some sense to me. <br /><br />I have no idea what "deada wegg" means but I can have a guess: "death way"? English is way too fancy at 'words'.<br /><br />I would love to join you at Ancient Ram Inn, but before I do that, I would do a small test tonight, leave my downstairs doors (front and back, they aligned quite well) slightly ajar,... because if my small townhouse happened to be on ley line, I could borrow some energy to travel far :-)<br />Well, just realized I live in America. But I guess Indian people had their way to build ley lines too.<br /><br />Anyway, a wonderful article about the topic! I highly enjoyed reading.
