The ancients were keen observers of nature, attributing much of what they saw to the spirits or the supernatural forces. I haven’t heard about a connection to lightning, but it makes sense that Borg would conclude that a lightning strike would indicate special powers at work

Thanks, SunkenCiv.

I read most of your posts but stopped reading the replies long ago. Wading through dozens of sophomoric replies to find one or two serious ones is just not worth my time. Thanks for the posts though.

So they saw lightning hit, then placed a stone circle. That is where the thought is.

But what did they think the spot was ‘hit’ for? I wonder what they believed about the reasoning behind the ‘supernatural’ choice?

I sure wish these guys left written artifacts.

I get they thought it was a supernatural force, but what did they believe it was chosen for I wonder? Or was it just they believed that that force was telling them where to erect the circle, and even so, then, what for? I suddenly had a thought, seriously, like a lightning bolt hit me, was this their ‘church’?
