I was just reading the June 2008 National Geographic on Stonehenge today, gorgeous photos and great info.
So if there was a fence around it so the lower class couldn’t see it then we are priviledged indeed as we do see it.
But imagine when the men who it was built for walked among it, in whatever interesting clothes they wore...
Good grief.
why wouldn’t a better guess than class be sacred from profane, like the court of the Gentiles, and the Holy of Holies in the Jerusalem temple?
It says far more about the person who promulgated it than it does about the ancients.
This just in: Merlin was a snob.
Stretching it.
It could have had a ceremonial function of keeping out malign forces or keeping benevolent ones inside or even vice versa.
The wya they stretch this stuff would put a political spinmeister to shame.
Fortunately Spinal Tap corrected this injustice
Are you saying that it was sort of like Bohemian Grove? - lol
It's more plausible they needed a fence to charge admission.
See, now the fence makes sense. ;’)
Naturally, anything not understood is said to have a ceremonial purpose. :’( Right now this newly discovered pallisade is said to be insufficient for defense. Maybe the ancient Britons are the real inventors of baseball, and eventually preserved chunks of the wall will be discovered, buried, complete with peekholes. ;’)
Lately it’s been as if no one had ever studied the environs, perhaps because no one had. There’s a topic around here (at least one) regarding the pretty recent claim that the site was *not* used for the dead, but was a place for healing, specifically for eyes and vision. That was difficult to explain, because remains had already been found. Then, more and more remains were found, spanning a couple of thousand years. As noted, the “Amesbury Archer” had come from (I think) the Alps, in Europe proper.
