Stonehenge

I did not find a topic on this subject and decided to eliminate the injustice





Description: Giant construction of Stonehenge - mystery stone in the heart of Europe, as it was called this wonderful monument to one of the researchers Dr. Trever Umlmor. This ancient building located in England, archaeologists have now agreed that this architectural monument was built in three phases between 3500 and 1100 years. BC. Stonehenge I is a circular ditch with two rooms and may have served as a cemetery. On a circle along the outer shaft located 56 small funeral "Aubrey holes", named in honor of John Aubrey, who first described them in the XVII century. To the north-east of the entrance to the ring was a huge, seven-Heel Stone. During the construction of Stonehenge II had laid earthen walkway between the entrance and the Heel Stone. There were built two rings of 80 huge boulders of blue color, which probably brought over 320 km from South Wales. At the final stage of construction was carried permutation megaliths. Blue stones replaced the ring colonnade of 30 trilitov, each consisting of two vertical stones and build on the horizontal plate. Inside the ring was set Horseshoe five separate trilitov.



In general, Stonehenge is a structure of 82 five-ton megaliths, 30 stone blocks, weighing 25 tons and 5 huge so-called trilitov, stones, weighing up to 50 tons. Stacked stone blocks forming arches that were once the perfect indicator of the world. Until recently, scientists assumed that this monument was built in 3100 BC lived in the British Isles tribes to observe the Sun and the Moon. But the latest figures of modern science are forced to reconsider many of the conclusions of researchers.



Back in the 20s of the last century famous geologist Thomas X. set. the stones for the construction of the complex were brought from the quarries. which were more than 300 kilometers from the construction site. Needless to say, that the transport of huge stone blocks required extraordinary effort. In late 1994, the University of Wales Professor David Bowen using the latest methods for determining the age of Stonehenge. It turned out that it is 140, 000 years. Why did the ancient people needed to make great efforts on cutting, complex shipping, handling Rugged boulders and incredible accuracy installation in strict order? Answer is no.



Stonehenge famous astronomer Fred Hoyle. Having examined all the geometric features of Stonehenge, it has determined that the creators of this building know the exact orbital period of the moon, and the length of the solar year. According to the conclusions of other researchers, the hole inside the circle formed by stone blocks, exactly represent the trajectory of celestial pole 12-30 thousand years ago! In 1998, astronomer recreated by computer original appearance of Stonehenge and conducted various research Their findings were shocking to many. It turns out that this ancient monolith is not only the solar and lunar calendar, as previously thought, but is an exact model of the solar system in cross-section. According to this model, the solar system is not composed of nine and twelve planets, two of which are beyond the orbit of Pluto (the latter known to date, the nine planets), and another - between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, is now the asteroid belt. In principle, this model confirms the assumptions of modern astronomy and fully consistent with the views of many ancient peoples, who also believed that the number of planets in our solar system is twelve.



A special feature of the ancient megaliths is their unusually high earthquake resistance. Studies have shown that when they are used in the construction of special platforms, mitigating or completely extinguishing the tremors. On such platforms erected most of the ancient buildings. In addition, these foundations practically do not give "Shrinkage of the soil", which inevitably occurs with modern construction.



Scientists do not yet know who and what is raised up during the Stone Age grandiose astronomical observatory in the center of Ireland. But after careful study, it became clear that to attribute to the construction of this huge "megalithic" tribes of ancient Druids, who lived in Ireland at the time, is simply unreasonable. One thing is certain, whoever had the ancient builders, they have tremendous knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, geology and architecture. And when you consider that the grandiose monuments and buildings were erected in prehistoric times, almost all over the world, we can conclude that we modern people know almost nothing about their own history.

























In the meantime, scientists are studying this ancient monument, Stonehenge continues to live his life in folklore. According to local legend, the giant blue stones have healing powers, they have appeared on this earth through the wizard Merlin, magician at the court of King Arthur, who took them from Ireland. The origin of the enormous heel stone is already associated with another legend. They say that once the devil saw a monk hiding among the rocks. Before the accident managed to escape, the devil launched a huge boulder that crushed his heel. For a long time the ruins of Stonehenge were associated with priestly cult of the ancient Celts, Druids, although experts deny this connection.
