Standing Stones MOON

Over the years, a variety of people, cultures, and species have been given credit for the building of Stonehenge. Some of the most legendary figures trying to take responsibility have included:
Giants: According to old myths, dancing giants were caught in a sunbeam and petrified to stone, causing the monument to be nicknamed the “Giant’s Ring”. The stones were also believed to have healing power.
Merlin and King Arthur: Some believe Merlin himself assembled Stonehenge to commemorate slain chieftains. It’s also rumored that the Sword in the Stone, which would eventually lead Arthur onto the throne and into legend, was made from Stonehenge Stones.
Aliens: Most of the world’s earliest and most elaborate crop circles are found within a forty-mile (64km) radius of Stonehenge. Scientists today are unable to replicate crop circles, suggesting that their construction and that of Stonehenge should perhaps be credited to a more intelligent species.
Atlanteans: According to Plato, the Kingdom of Atlantis controlled the islands of the Atlantic and built many stone structures to better predict future events based on astronomical calculations. Given the fate of Atlantis, which supposedly sank into the sea, it’s debatable how accurate their predictions could have been.
Druids: John Aubrey, a Stonehenge scholar, erroneously suggested this connection three centuries ago. The Druids are an earth-based faith that we now have formed much later than the building of Stonehenge. The Druids do celebrate the summer solstice, same as Stonehenge’s true builders, and they have recently made it a tradition to incorporate this ancient monument into current rituals.
The Beaker Folk from 2500 BC are believed to have done some of the work on Stonehenge. They were an aggressive culture that invaded the Salisbury Plain. From artifacts, we know that the Beakers were sophisticated, organized, understood mathmatics, worshipped the Sun, and celebrated the solstices. This makes them ideal builders for some of the site.
The other cultures that contributed to Stonehenge remain a mystery, though archaeologists are getting closer and closer to finding answers.

This is a photograph of a full scale replica of Stonehenge that was erected as a WWI memorial by Sam Hill, in Maryhill, WA which overlooks the mighty Columbia River and Mount Hood. The photograph of the Full Moon was also taken by myself in October 2008, the two were merged and edited in photoshop7 with Redfield plug-in for the rippled water effect.

    I don’t know why, but all of your writing has about a cm cut off all the way down the right hand side.
    It’s impossible to read.
    I don’t know why, but everyone’s is the same.
    But your image is just brilliant.
    And that Henge….. WOW.
    ( reminds me of when I was at Stonehenge in 2000.)

  • tkrosevear replied

    looks OK on my screen bro – if you had more time with us in Oct, we could show you this ‘Stonehenge’ ;) xoxox

    We will probably arrive on the first day, stay the second day, then fly out on the 3rd day.
    ( So that will be 2 nights.)
    Then on to the East Coast.

    Great pic TK.and a fav. Of course may be the Atlantean version is the one and that the end of the Atlantis great expeiment was predicted. It would explain why so many peeps escaped before the sinking and formed new civilisations all over the world. Hmmmmm

    you picked up well, my thoughts, thereto the rippled water effect ;) xoxoxoxox thanks so much Andy – good to see you ;)

    Beautiful art!! I have always been fascinated by the theories behind the building of Stonehenge. It is interesting to note that the Druids themselves did not claim the building of the site and many ancient Celts believed that the site was erected by the Tuatha De Danaan themselves.
    Whatever the truth, it is wonderful that Stonehenge remains firmly in our minds and continues to spark the imagination.

  • tkrosevear replied

    as have I sis, and thanks for the TDD reference, forgot about that magic ;) and like you said, it sure sparks my imagination…;) xoxoxox
