Avebury

A documentary about this great prehistoric stone circle and the other nearby sites of Windmill Hill, West Kennet Long Barrow, The Sanctuary and the legendary Silbury Hill. The video concentrates on archeological discovery rather than fables, myths and legends.

[@voiletwhitehorse]

children of the stones brought me here

[@stemplar9916]

Interesting area on a very cold moon lit night.Spent many nights there watching.

[@Aramintava]

Hope these sacred places are always kept intact. Wish I could go there.

[@wiltsjack]

Should be ok as it is a well managed World Heritage Site.

[@heatherstead9486]

This is an awesome video of the Neolithic sites and the history of them. Well put together.

[@bgbreakdown]

So excited to visit there in 2 weeks! I cannot wait!

[@jonathanj.7344]

That was a brilliant documentary and many thanks to all involved. I've visited Avebury many times and am familiar with all these places.

[@SuperDondae]

Excellent documentary

[@caseyvee4419]

The Red Lion pub at Avebury has a well inside it, capped with a table. Legend has it that there is a body at the bottom of the well, which has a large stone on top of it.

[@wiltsjack]

I deliberately did not include the 'well' story as it is unfounded nonsense and I was attempting to make a documentary about what is known rather than 'mystic' twaddle.

[@caseyvee4419]

wiltsjack The well is actually there, I guess you are aware. Simple enough to go in and look at it under the table top. As to whether there is a body down it or not is another matter entirely, quite possibly just legend.

[@unalunar7362]

It's meant to be Florrie a villager that fell down the well. He's rude calling it twaddle. The pub wasn't keen on people filming in it but may have changed now. There others documentaries that are more about the paranormal side.

[@helenamcginty4920]

There are lots of similar stories. Like the church bells of sunken villages being heard ringing during storms. As if! Mind you there is thf appalling discovery in Norwich of 11 bodies of adults and children, dna shows they were Askenasi Jews, that had been thrown down a well most likely in anti Semitic riots in 1190. Appalling.

[@The10Broeks]

The ancient history of Enhgland is truly remarkable!

[@MikeGreenwood51]

The monuments are not really originally English as they predate the English as well as the Romans in 54BCE. The location looks like the border areas of the Atrebates, Dubbunni Belgaeic German tribes who are thought to have been there 2 or 3 hundred years. So the monuments date even before them.

[@MrZboogz]

Yes but the descendents of these people are now known as British, so i think The10Broeks is merely stating that he or she is proud of the heritage here, even if a long time ago it was labelled something else. it is ultimately part of britih english irish and scottish heritage

[@MrZboogz]

thanks for the info on the germanic tribes! awesome!

[@MikeGreenwood51]

To Mr Zboogz, Lol. I didn't read 'The10Broeks'' comment as if he was British. More as if he was saying the ancient history was remarkable. I thought his comment was respectfull but likly the comment from some one from another Country. Maybe the USA, Netherlands or South Africa. I thought that as I thought some one closer or of Britian would not find such history such that he should compliment, praise or show such respect. Plus he spelt England in a form (Enhgland) other than a common Anglo-British form. Suggesting a more eastern form. But maybe 'Pride' (of being proud) could be true also. But that was not how I read his comment. So really my comment was to some one I thought lived sought of half a great distance away. Where as to my self many of the English Heritage Monuments are every day. From craydel to grave as some say. IE we live along side our or the history our whole lives. So as often happens when some one from another land visits or is respectful or interested. They get shown a bit more or told a bit more. Yes today all are (some are not, but that is political so not written of here as can be complex and too much for a little comment) known generally as British. But weather the Neolithic age inhabitant were British is still an ongoing debate (Maybe solved in the year 3017 or one thousand years in the future). As there is evidence the ProtoBrits were migrants themselves pre the year 1000BCE or 3017BP years ago. The Monuments them selves are the records. Other wise no tribe of 2 to 4 thousand tears pre the common era left writen records. So no one can claim their particular tribe were the builders. I E no one really knows. Even after 3,000 years of European writing. Research is still going on. But what is known is the culture was generally tribal. So there are monument all over the Isles but not belonging to one tribe only. But to many as many tribes existed. So the ownership is passed to those of a much later date. IE the British. But most likly the builders were before even the ProtoBritish. As the Proto Britians were not born untill about 3117 years after ghe inner ring of Stonehenge. But Even Stonehenge had pre existing Henge builders? I am agreeing with you as I agree with the accepted generalization such as the 'decendents of those people are'. So yes I agree. But technically. Though that is accepted. It is also known by academic that there is no proof that is correct. Proof is they weren't born. There may have been a plague. They may have all died. Or been killed by envaders. Likly as not no one will ever know. But there seems no evidence of mass extinction and so continued existince seems likly. There are Mesolithic sites 1000BCE to 4000BCE Pre the Neolithic Henge builders. Also some evidence of Paleolithic inhabitation in Thatcham So yes I agree. But we know the Isles were not Britain in the Mesolithic age and the British were not even a twinkle in their mothers seyes.

[@MrZboogz]

ok put simply. This is the ancient history of the land presently called England. thats what he meant :) there was no such thing as england during the time of aveburys creation. That states the obvious. lol

I saw a very similar hill structure while driving through Cambodia (which is very flat btw). I don't remember the exact location. I wonder if they have any similar purpose?

[@frankparsons1629]

Good video but perhaps explained the "wrong" way round. The earliest stones were quite possibly previously timber posts, as at Dorchester Henge, which nearly the same diameter as Avebury (under the modern town) and some posts being marked in the floor of the car park underneath the Waitrose supermarket, and at Stonehenge being three massive post holes a metre diameter in the car park. The few post holes discovered by Keiller at Avebury (north entrance and one at the southern which he marked with a circular concrete post, were separate features long before there were ever circles and were in straight lines as with Keiller's "Z" feature ("Z" as I understand it was the last feature to be discovered/described by Keiller). This was re-examined in 2017 by Gillings & Pollard and found to be a square surrounding the Obelisk (the line of stones still standing being the western side). Inside that square and hard by the position of the Obelisk stone are remains of a flagstone floor which Keiller thought to be a small medieval barn or shed but dates to the early Neolithic or late Mesolithic. It may have been a dwelling as that discovered on Portland and also underwater off Bouldnor Cliff, Isle of Wight. I believe the post holes and associated remains at Stonehenge carbon date to 6 thousand years BCE or thereabouts. Much has been discovered during the last decade; many thanks for your video Wiltsjack.

Ditch dug with antler and ox-bone shovel, This rising wall that shades our ancient hovel...

[@helenamcginty4920]

I prefer Avebury to Stonehenge. Though I like that for its engineering and the 'carpentry' of its lintel joints plus the gentle curve of the lintels themselve. My favourite circle, though, remains Castlerigg in Cumbria.

[@crystalsmith2547]

Thank you. Where is the location at 0:37 seconds in please?

[@bardmadsen6956]

That was a great video of the area, best I've seen so far. What I want to know is, could one see a bon fire from the top of Silbury Hill directly South to Stonehenge? Now for what people think is mystic twaddle : Avebury with a serpent running through it is a so above as below symbol of the daylight comet of ~20,000ka across the Sun. The same iconography is found in Egypt and other places around the world as it was a spectacle for all. Strange to see you with a bovine scapula as that is the symbol of Isis and Nephthys at the Pleiades where said comet and its remnant, the Taurid Stream, visually seem to emanate from. Click on my orange avatar icon and go to About and then Comet-ose for more info. Oh, I've always wondered if one can smell the salty ocean in the middle of the islands?

Hello

[@billyrubin7378]

If anyone imagines our ancestors just resorted to rollers, levers, muscles antler shovel, antler picks and pure sweat and puff struggling to move stones of up to 50+ tons, perhaps they might consider this: There is a book by by an Airline Pilot named Bruce Cathie titled: The Bridge To Infinity. In it Bruce Cathie explains how he discovered the energy grid which covers the complete earth. He also discovered what he termed harmonic mathematics, which demonstrates that EVERYTHING is based on the harmonics of light. To which the response might be; rubbish, absolute poppycock; 'new age' drivel etc etc. Which is what many scientists said about his 'infantile' mathematics. Until he received death threats and warnings from an inner 'circle' of scientific knowledge and research which governments have undertaken for MANY decades and know a great deal about. Including such organisations as the CIA -- who; even though Cathie was a New Zealand citizen, attempted to recruit him to hide him away and shut him up. His books were also destroyed. He also got calls from scientists of this 'inner circle' telling him he was right. And others were absolutely enraged that he -- a 'non' scientist -- had discovered this by himself. He did this by plotting the courses taken by UFOs and discovering they ALWAYS used this earth grid to travel along. Cathie discovered innumerable points on the earth surface resonated to sub-harmonics of the speed of light (which is NOT a constant value), these points are invariably where things have happened but more tellingly are where monuments of every conceivable kind are to be found. You will be 'surprised' to know Avebury is one of them; Stonehenge another. What might be more obscure -- and directly relating to perspiring ancient ancestors -- is the fact 'harmonics' also applies to just about everything else. INCLUDING HOW POINTS ON THE EARTHS SURFACE NOW HAVE RADAR AND HAARP TRANSMITTERS ON THEM TO COMPLETELY ALTER AND CONTROL THE WEATHER ALL OVER THE EARTH. Its called 'weather modification' and CLIMATE CHANGE and its ALL man made. Wake up and do your own research on You Tube -- its all there -- enough to keep you busy for MONTHS. See videos by Harry Rhodes. You won't be laughing after. Just another small example in passing. Doctor Royal Rife (his real name -- an American) discovered viruses and bacteria resonated to certain frequencies unique to their 'species.' Having discovered this he designed electronic frequency generators and used them to destroy viruses and bacteria. In the process demonstrating he could cure ANY cancer. Which he did with 16 terminally ill people. I.e. 100% success rate. This was in the 1920s -- 30s. The reason you haven't heard anything about this is because the American health 'industry' realised its meal ticket was being taken away. So they destroyed Royel Rife, his machines and his laboratory and shoved him in gaol. See You Tube -- plenty on there about all this. To return to light -- and GRAVITY -- harmonics Cathie discovered; he also mentions on page 139 of The Bridge To Infinity about the experience of a Swedish Doctor (Dr. Jarl) who in 1939 witnessed Tibetan Monks, levitating large stones each weighing a number of tons 800 feet up the face of a cliff to a platform in front of a cave. Which were then used to build a new monastery. The means by which the monks levitated the stones (at the rate of 5 or 6 PER HOUR) in a parabolic arc up to the platform was -- shock horror and amazement (ho ho) -- was by DRUMS, TRUMPETS and CHANTING. Now where have I heard this before (rhetorical question!). Think it had something to do with a bloke called Joshua and making his followers dizzy, walking round in circles for a week. If the noise made by Joshua's mob was as deafening as the racket a few monks made, the people on the receiving end would not have suffered from constipation. Closer to home in time watch the video by John Hutchinson on You Tube who in 41 SECONDS reduces a bloody great solid billet of IRON to a good imitation of melted ice cream using, err, whats the word I'm looking for? Oh yes; I remember; HARMONICS. Now, whats the moral of this story? Anyone guess?? One that comes to mind is: stop wasting valuable video time talking absolute bloody drivel about 'crude' / simple-minded / unsophisticated / 'unscientific' ancient people who knew how to manipulate stone of any size from wherever it lay to wherever they wished to place them. You only have to look at the size of stones used in ancient monuments in South America; Egypt (of course!) Baalbeck (Lebanon) and a hundred other places around the world how massive pieces of rock weighing up to 1100 / 1200 TONS+ e.g. Baalbeck and the Aswan quarries, Macu Pichu etc etc ad nauseum and fitting them together so tight you can't get a cigarette paper between them to know the 'stupid' ancients knew how to turn 'solid' rock to 'jelly' and dig lumps out of them as if they WERE ice cream. And how they stuck them together so a human hair could not be put between them. (1 -- 3 thousandths of an inch) Perhaps we could see some educated realistic comments in future about what the ancients knew AND USED that we don't have the first inkling about -- except of course those of the inner circles of research that Bruce Cathie -- and many others have come up against. So PLEASE don't lets have any more utter drivel about how the ancients were just a bunch of sweaty, smelly, grunting, fumbling, simple- minded mental incompetents. Its what WE ARE and NOT THEM who are what we project on to our inexpressibly more 'scientific' forbears. If I can feel the energies around Avebury sufficient to nearly split your head open, dowse the energies that make a pendulum go berserk and nearly get dragged off the ground into the air on an energy / ley line, etc etc SO CAN ANYONE ELSE. A few more 'this is what I personally discovered' videos would be nice instead of: 'this is what I read / think / someone else said.' Would be a lot more interesting. Happy researching!

Wow that was alot to take in, 🙃 you remind me of me when I get overly passionate. Although I am slowly learning when I do this it only affects my nervous system 🤷‍♀️ right or wrong the guy who made the video, well, I'm guessing that this is his reality. That's all any of us have. Our own reality bubble, I'm in Tasmania Australia, I seen a photo of silbury Hill in a book and for some weird reason I just fell in love with it. I didn't think about the where how or why, when I looked at the picture I felt a tremendous peace, I think many people watch these things and do know that what you're saying is true, it's just hard to find documentaries on site that are talking about it, and it's the on site bit they really want, especially someone like me, who, even if they had the money just couldn't bring themselves to get on that aeroplane unless it was for family, or they were heavily drugged 🙇‍♀️😒. Angst aside, I love the info you gave and I will casually check it out, because I believe I will enjoy it 🙂 and I had no opinion in my head at all when I came here except to look at it, and find out if anyone over any time had found some sort of record of, people that live there over time. Now I'm looking forward to finding out more, so thank you 🕊✌🙋‍♀️.

[@jasoncox7257]

I talk to these people , I walk the land. Even attended Merlin's wedding . I've felt energies and witnessed with 5 others an exploding orb at Stonehenge. An honest attempt to reconnect with the past , original healing practices and rites in a truly British way could be smirked only through inexperience. Learning from the land itself and not from history which is provably fake in parts. It is not true that nothing has been handed down about the druids anyway. I can understand the modern Briton turning back home away from manipulated dogmas from far off or the idea that spirit doesn't exist at all. The greenwood has been chopped down and we should never try to grow it again sort of attitude. Are the roots of the green wood fake or just forgotten ? I'm not disrespecting them . The stones are the crystals that can store information through time, my friend. Fact. Y Gwir yn erbyn y Byd.

[@MikeGreenwood51]

To Jason Cox For some reason I didn't receive a notification of you post. So just founed it per chance 4 minutes ago at 21.01PM today Monday. Roots of the Greenwood are not forgotten but are as old and fake as Merlin, Arthurian Legend and the Pendragon myth. The difference is the lie covered in the fraudian occult is cloaked to keep their lies a mystery under the trickery of law which allows magic with in limitations. But still the trick is know illusion. But by 1086 the Greenwood roots are real. So fake existed prior to 1086. Which predates your 12th century fiction. The Law may know your magic to be trickery with out believing the delusion themselves. Such as is required by Law. But those believing their own fools gold to be real gold are those who are delusional for they swollowed their own created illusion. The Greenwood was not chopped down. Much of the Kings wood was felled. Under the Authority of the King with his officer of the Kings' Greenwood called Mr. Greenwood. Or Crown Officer Sir or Mr.Greenwood Much of the chopped wood was used to burn Wiccans. Build Hanging beams, Tyburns or Scaffolds. Some witch burning seasons were busier than others. But the King's Greenwood would grow again. Even supplying the Navey. Some becoming great forests. You may dance with Guineve upon the lake. Hold hands and circle the oak, talk to Melin. But with the licence to do so. But if you touch the King's Oak or damage one twig of green living oak in the Kings Greenwood. You better have reason good enough for the Shirereeve who on occasions has the Kings permission to use his lower branches as a Tree Henge. 'Æng' in alt old Ænglich noun and verb which meant narrow. As the Ængles came from the Ængland where the land narrowed. Now a days called a peninsular. A narrow strip or piece of land jutting from the main land. So Ænging trees were popular. Especially for those witches who had swollowed their own illusion and couldn't remember the truth no more. Those Druids are fake. Pendragon. Fake. Well not all Pendragons. But Mr. Jail bird A. Pendragon is as fake as Jeffery of Mommoth's fiction witten as he threw in with the Normans and thought they could rewrite a Historia Britannium excluding those they saw as the enermy. What Jeffery didn't anticipate was the Normans packing their bags and leaving at the end of King Stephen's reign. Leaving Monmoth with his book of fake lies, fantasy myths and pseudo legends that would mis lead thousands of poor Welsh for generations. Therefore losing their real histories and resorting to their fables. So sure the Greenwood roots are older than your mythological Historia Britannium from the 12th century. So I have no need to rely on fake fabrications prior to the Origin of Office in the 11th Century. Who did Merlin marry then? A little fairy hobbit? Or elfish princess? Stones containg crystal are not proof those Druids are fake. Nor are elves, pixies, Gobins, Dwarves, Wainwrights, stardust of the monkeys paw. Neither are proof that any of those ceremonial self proclaiming Druids are real Priests. They have no Priestly powers at all and are not representing England, the Church of England or any ecclesiastical body with authorised holy or devine charters to do so on behalf of the Nation. They are mostly Wiccan. Some may say satanists. Others witches or warlocks. Occultists. Sham artists. Left to get on with their trickery and pseudo magic. Oh yeh. The bunny was in the hat. But pull a real five from thin air. That they can not do. But the King can. Oh a real exploding orb? You can photograph converging shafts of light now a days with fast enough film shutter speed. The Druids of pre Christian era or pre Roman era burnt what ever evidence they had to prevent it being seized by the Romans who were doing far more human sacrifice than the Druids. So as far as I know what people said about the loss of and Druidic Script is true. Or I know of none. Never heard of any. But if you have a link to real manuscripts or documents then send a link. But don't bother with the fake mountains of forgeries. 'Only smirked at through inexperience'. More swallowed delussion there. Some claiming Shamanic abilities have been proven to be charlatans. Dangerous even as historical some people died who should have been in hospital receiving treatment for serious life threatening conditions. I am not against healing. Not against the use of herbs. Not against believing in properties that cure real alements. I would be a hypocrite if I was as I studies Food Science and Nutrition at University and so know every vitamin is in use, as with out them a disease is likly or thought to be the result of a deficiency. But I am against quack cures. Charlatanism and peusdo fake healers. Pseudo fake spiritralists. Sure Satanism may be a religion. But it is theirs and not the state or people's religion. Not the choice of every one. But there atre a few. Most like more were Hanged, exercuted, burnt at the stake or put in the Gibet. A sort of iron mini wicker man for public display. But not a wicker man at all. As the Wicker Man was the Satanist Wiccan ritualistic burning. The Sword in the Stone was fake as well.
