Neolithic Age: Prehistoric Complex Including Two...

Rated Aug 13 • 1 review • archaeology, prehistory, ancient history, stonehenge, neolithic • sciencedaily.com

From the page: The importance of the site at Damerham first emerged in 2003 when English Heritage spotted crop marks - which can indicate buried archaeological sites - on aerial photographs of the area. Dr Wickstead volunteered to begin geophysical tests of the area and it was while her team was planning the work that Martyn Barber, a member of the Damerham Archaeology Project, looked at a Windows Live Map of the area to find the car park where he was due to meet his colleagues and was astonished to see another tomb a few hundred metres from the first. "To find any new monuments of this date still visible as humps on the ground is unusual," said Dr Wickstead, "But to find two is fantastic - we were flabbergasted."

Work on the site is in its early stages but Dr Wickstead said the tombs may contain human bones, while nearby there are cropmark traces of some larger circular enclosures which may have been built at the same time as the prehistoric monument at Stonehenge, which is 15 miles away.

Ancient tombs discovered by Kingston University-led team

Rated Aug 13 • 1 review • archaeology, prehistory, neolithic, stonehenge • alphagalileo.org

From the page: A prehistoric complex including two 6,000-year-old tombs representing some of the earliest monuments built in Britain has been discovered by a team led by a Kingston University archaeologist. Dr Helen Wickstead and her colleagues were stunned and delighted to find the previously undiscovered Neolithic tombs, also known as long barrows at a site at Damerham, Hampshire.

Some artefacts, including fragments of pottery and flint and stone tools, have already been recovered and later in the summer a team of volunteers will make a systematic survey of the site, recovering and recording any artefacts that have been brought to the surface by ploughing.

Dr Wickstead said that further work would help to reveal more about the Neolithic era. "We hope that scientific methods will allow us to record these sites before they are completely eroded", she said. "If we can excavate, we'll be able to say a lot more about Neolithic people in that area and find out things like who was buried there, what kinds of lives they led, and what the environment was like six thousand years ago."

She said the find was particularly rare because it was close to Cranborne Chase, one of the most thoroughly researched prehistoric areas in Europe. "I was really excited. It's rare to find sites of this kind and the tombs are likely to be of national importance," said Dr Wickstead. "What's really extraordinary is the location - it's one of the most famous prehistoric landscapes, a mecca for prehistorians, and you would have thought the archaeological world would have gone over it with a fine tooth comb."

Stonehenge protester King Arthur Pendragon defies...

Rated Aug 03 • 3 reviews • archaeology, mythology, druids, stonehenge, english heritage • guardian.co.uk

I have fond memories of shinnying up between the monoliths at Stonehenge when I was a young boy in the 1960s when it was completely open to the public. Greater public access to the site would be great although allowing young boys to shinny up between the stones might be a bit too much if I say so myself. OTOH Maybe they could reserve one of the trilithons for that very purpose. :-)

Cursus 500 Years Older than Stonehenge

Rated Jun 27 2008 • 5 reviews • archaeology, stonehenge, carbon dating • terrahermes.com

New archaeological information about Stonehenge.

From the page: "Previous researches showed that the Cursus was built around 3100BC, but recent discoveries date in at about 3500BC. This makes the Cursus 500 years older than the Stonehenge itself.

The discovery was made by a team of archaeologists from the University of Manchester, led by Professor Julian Thomas. The team was able to pinpoint the new date after discovering an antler pick used to dig the Cursus."

The vagina monoliths: Stonehenge was ancient sex...

Rated Jun 18 2008 • 1 review • anthropology, stonehenge, solstice, summer solstice, dr anthony perks • guardian.co.uk

From the page: "As to Stonehenge's alignment with various astronomical events such as the rising of mid-winter and mid-summer sun - discovered by astronomers many years ago - these fit with notions of an Earth Mother partnered with a Sun Father, says Perks. Stonehenge celebrated their association, a place where people celebrated the Sun's closest approach to Earth in summer, while in winter they prayed for the pair to reunite."

I am surprised that I had not Stumbled this page already.

I have been in intermittent contact with Dr. Anthony Perks since this article was first published, and he has revised parts of his Stonehenge theory based on the information that I have shared with him. He now agrees that it is possible, even probable, that Stonehenge's function as the symbolic vulva of an Earth Goddess aka Mother Goddess was to guarantee the (re)birth of the sun itself. This in turn ensured the (re)birth of *all* life on Earth including human life, not just plant and animal life as he had initially proposed.

For obvious reasons the sun has been perceived as a cosmic phallus by many ancient civilizations. Ancient Egyptian religion made reference to the phallus of Ra. The sun was perceived as being strongest and thus most "fertile" on the summer solstice. The Stonehenge "vulva"'s alignment with the summer solstice sunrise can thus be readily perceived as a symbolic sexual union between a "Father Sun" and "Mother Earth". When the sun is slowly rising above the horizon at dawn it can also be compared to the head of a baby slowly emerging from the vulva of a woman giving birth. It seems that these two related perceptions or "beliefs" may have been synthesized in the Stonehenge "vulva". The sun impregnated the symbolic vulva during the summer solstice sunrise and thus ensured its (re)birth throughout the year until the next summer solstice.
