Download or read book Stonehenge A New Understanding Solving the Mysteries of the Greatest Stone Age Monument written by Mike Parker Pearson and published by The Experiment, LLC. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The most authoritative, important book on Stonehenge to date.”—Kirkus, starred review Stonehenge stands as an enduring link to our prehistoric ancestors, yet the secrets it has guarded for thousands of years have long eluded us. Until now, the millions of enthusiasts who flock to the iconic site have made do with mere speculation—about Stonehenge’s celestial significance, human sacrifice, and even aliens and druids. One would think that the numerous research expeditions at Stonehenge had left no stone unturned. Yet, before the Stonehenge Riverside Project—a hugely ambitious, seven-year dig by today’s top archaeologists—all previous digs combined had only investigated a fraction of the monument, and many records from those earlier expeditions are either inaccurate or incomplete. Stonehenge—A New Understanding rewrites the story. From 2003 to 2009, author Mike Parker Pearson led the Stonehenge Riverside Project, the most comprehensive excavation ever conducted around Stonehenge. The project unearthed a wealth of fresh evidence that had gone untouched since prehistory. Parker Pearson uses that evidence to present a paradigm-shifting theory of the true significance that Stonehenge held for its builders—and mines his field notes to give you a you-are-there view of the dirt, drama, and thrilling discoveries of this history-changing archaeological dig.
Download or read book Stonehenge written by Mike Parker Pearson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our knowledge about Stonehenge has changed dramatically as a result of the Stonehenge Riverside Project (2003-2009), led by Mike Parker Pearson, and included not only Stonehenge itself but also the nearby great henge enclosure of Durrington Walls. This book is about the people who built Stonehenge and its relationship to the surrounding landscape. The book explores the theory that the people of Durrington Walls built both Stonehenge and Durrington Walls, and that the choice of stone for constructing Stonehenge has a significance so far undiscovered, namely, that stone was used for monuments to the dead. Through years of thorough and extensive work at the site, Parker Pearson and his team unearthed evidence of the Neolithic inhabitants and builders which connected the settlement at Durrington Walls with the henge, and contextualised Stonehenge within the larger site complex, linked by the River Avon, as well as in terms of its relationship with the rest of the British Isles. Parker Pearson's book changes the way that we think about Stonehenge; correcting previously erroneous chronology and dating; filling in gaps in our knowledge about its people and how they lived; identifying a previously unknown type of Neolithic building; discovering Bluestonehenge, a circle of 25 blue stones from western Wales; and confirming what started as a hypothesis - that Stonehenge was a place of the dead - through more than 64 cremation burials unearthed there, which span the monument's use during the third millennium BC. In lively and engaging prose, Parker Pearson brings to life the imposing ancient monument that continues to hold a fascination for everyone.

Download or read book Wisdomkeepers of Stonehenge written by Graham Phillips and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals how Stonehenge was an extraordinary astronomical calendar used in the cultivation of ingredients for long-forgotten botanical cures • Explores how Stonehenge and other stone circles were ancient healing sanctuaries and celestial calculators for the preparation of natural medicines • Explains how the megalithic priesthood--and their successors, the Druids--developed astonishing memory techniques to preserve knowledge over generations • Draws upon the very latest discoveries from recent archaeological excavations and overlooked historical source material Stonehenge is just one of thousands of stone circles erected throughout Britain and Ireland for over three millennia from 3,000 BC on. How did this building tradition survive for so long, over such a large area and with such complexity and uniformity, when the people of the British Isles lived in separate, isolated communities and left no evidence of a central leadership or obvious communication network? Graham Phillips argues that these stone circles are evidence of an astonishing system of healthcare and preservation of ancient medical knowledge that held together a society scattered across the British Isles. With stones aligned to the sun, moon, and certain stars, these ancient monuments enabled the precise timings necessary for the cultivation of medicinal plants. He explains how the megalithic priesthood possessed medical knowledge well beyond their time and may even have discovered a cure for cancer. Furthermore, because they had no form of writing, the megalithic people developed phenomenal memory techniques to preserve their knowledge over many generations, resulting in a class of wisdomkeepers that were not only healers but the living libraries of their culture. Drawing upon the latest discoveries from recent archaeological excavations and overlooked historical source material, Phillips reveals that the megalithic culture survived far longer than previously thought and that the people who held it together were an enigmatic shamanic sect ultimately called the Druids. Uncovering the secrets of ancient megalithic culture and the purpose of their enigmatic stone circles, Phillips contends that all the evidence has now been gathered to unlock the secrets encoded in the stones--and perhaps discover remedies for diseases still uncured by modern medicine today.

Download or read book Spirit Traveler written by Sonja Grace and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We have relied on science to tell us what happened in ancient sites around the world, it is time for research that is connected to Source.” --Sonja Grace "Spirit Traveler: Unlocking Ancient Mysteries and Secrets of Eight of the World’s Great Historic Sites" takes a unique approach to analyzing why famous historic sites, including the Great Pyramids, Stonehenge, and Tiwanaku, were constructed. Scientists and archaeologists have written thousands of books about these sites. While this information is crucial to our knowledge today, much of the mystery about these places remains unsolved and questions surrounding their purpose have lingered throughout the centuries. "Spirit Traveler", the companion book to the documentary film with the same title, offers a completely different perspective on why these sites were erected and what purpose they served. Only Sonja Grace, the internationally known mystic healer, is able to reveal the secrets of these ancient buildings in this new and fascinating way. Sonja is a Spirit Traveler deeply devoted to the protection of our beautiful Earth. She has spent a lifetime working in the ethers with angels and guides. She sheds light on what the people and cultures of the past were doing at these sites and why, offering a brand new understanding of the events that took place there centuries ago. Sonja Grace brings her unique understanding of the truth to history. In Spirit Traveler, Sonja travels back through the realms to reveal history as it happened. She answers the questions that have puzzled historians and archaeologists for hundreds of years: What was the purpose of Stonehenge? How were the Great Pyramids built, and why is their particular geometry so significant? Why was Skellig Rock so important to the monks? Have our beliefs about these great sites been wrong all along? Is their importance something other than what we have always thought? Sonja Grace’s discoveries shine a whole new light on our historical understanding of these places and on their relationships to the Earth. Sonja Grace aims to bring a new spiritual truth to these questions and fulfill her purpose in the awakening of humanity. Spirit Traveler is a purposefully structured book. Sonja discusses eight specific historical sites: Skellig Michael (Ireland) Tiwanaku - The Gate of the Sun (Bolivia) Stonehenge (England) Hagar Qim (Malta) St. Winifride’s Well (Wales) Chichen ltza and Temple of Kukulcan (Mexico) The Great Khafre Pyramids (Egypt) the Rock of Cashel (Ireland). Each chapter tackles the scientific and historical information available about each site up to this point in time. Sonja addresses the questions that continue to puzzle archaeologists and historians. The second half of each chapter is devoted to Sonja’s Spirit Traveler’ experience, what she learned, and the answers to some of those longstanding questions. Few people possess the gifts of Sonja Grace. Her heritage (part Native American, part Norwegian) provides her with the extraordinary ability to transport anywhere. She sees, hears, smells and feels the places she visits. In Spirit Traveler, Sonja shares every single detail of her riveting travels through space and time. Her work is marked by her distinct understanding of the dimensions and realms along with the convergence of Divine and Earth energies, which allows her to travel through the ethers and gather historic information.
