I love this. When I visited Scotland and the UK many years ago was when I truly became interested in medieval history. It was amazing to see in real life what I’d only read about in books, the architecture and history is amazing.
Still more amazing is what’s called Prehistory, but it is just a period of which there are only fables and myths. This culture built more than 70,000 stone menhirs and dolems (like Stone Henge, but more sophicsticated) scattered worldwide, all located on fault lines, many serving as navigational markers along coast lines (from Europe to North America, from Japan to SA), many also serving as Sun and astronomical markers with a precision only just now beginning to be equaled - one set of stones even marks the speed with which the a star is receding from the Earth and the position of the solar system in the Galaxy as seen from the top - all built from 9500BC to 2400BC.
There is nothing built today that would last 10,000 years.
I’m a British history fan too...medieval as well. Took a 3 week bus tour of the British Isles, and then went back the following year for 10 days, staying in London. I’m currently reading a book about Katherine (De Roet) Swynford, who was the third wife of John of Gaunt. They’re supposed to be my 17th great-grandparents. Her sister Phillipa was married to Geoffrey Chaucer. Wish I’d known about my family connections when I took my trips.
