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. Stonehenge

A tribute to Leiji Matsumoto’s space pirate…
The East and the West took form as the wings of a lark. / One wing was feathered with facts of the uttermost Past, / And one with the dreams of a prophet; and both sailed fast / And met where the sorrowful Soul on the earth was cast. / Then a Voice said: `Thine, if thou lovest enough to use;’ / But another: `To fly and to sing is pain: refuse!’ / Then the Soul said: `Come, O my wings! I cannot but choose.’ / And the Soul was a-tremble like as a new-born thing, / Till the spark of the dawn wrought a conscience in heart as in wing, / Saying, `Thou art the lark of the dawn; it is time to sing.’........... Words by American poet Sidney Lanier….... Painted using acrylics, pigment, inks,graphite and wax on paper / 102×42cm Music – Born Free – John Barry
Reworked now with framing. The background picture is a Original picture By( Steve Pike) of redbubble thanks again steve. The story of Atlantis begins quite literally with two of Plato’s dialogues, Timaeus and Critias. These accounts are the only known written records which refer specifcally to a lost civilization called Atlantis. Many people believe the tale to be complete fiction, the creation of a philosopher’s imagination used to illustrate an argument. Others believe that the story was inspired by catastrophic events which may have destroyed the Minoan civilization on Crete and Thera. Still others maintain that the story is an accurate representation of a long lost and almost completely forgotten land.
Encaustic card How wonderfull it is to receive a poem as a gift. / This one is given to me by a great man who knows how to touch my heart and soul. / Dank je wel engel xx Barren trees in frozen skies / Mystic silhouettes still hidden / In underworld’s silky ties / Where Light still is forbidden Yet with unconditional love / She creates lavender dreams / Hands hovering like a dove / In gentle strokes and streams. Is this Paradise Lost / Or is this Atlantis Rising / Is this Lemuria’s last post / Or an angel’s hymn you sing? Author; ArjunA
Serapis Bey was incarnated as a high priest in one of the “Temples of the Sacred Fire” on Atlantis who migrated to Egypt at the time of the destruction. It is also believed that he was incarnated as the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep III (who constructed the Temple of Luxor to the god Amon) and also as Leonidas, the King of Sparta who was killed in 480 BC defending the pass of Thermopylae against the invasion of Greece by Xerxes I, Emperor of the Persian Empire.

The next morning I woke up and picked up my tablet off the living room floor and was like ‘Um..okay, baseball…where the hell did that come from?!’ so I erased all but the head (hair and all! No kidding!) and redrew her body….. ...now she’s a nakey mermaid! Enjoy!
