Stonehenge was built around the turn of the twenty-first century after the military sealed off the area for a couple decades. They're masonic-propped displays of dupery. So is the sideshow known as the Great Pyramids and any other structured compound that's claimed to be ANCIENT.

@@hereliesmyreputation2559 Earth is not a perfect sphere. When it rotates on its axis (imagine a line that passes through the North and South Poles), it drifts and wobbles. This is known as polar motion. Measurements for the 20th century show that the spin axis drifted about 10 centimeters per year. Over the course of a century, that becomes more than 10 meters. In general, the redistribution of mass on and within Earth such as changes to land, ice sheets, oceans and mantle flow affects the planet's rotation. As temperatures increased throughout the 20th century, Greenland's ice mass decreased. In fact, a total of about 7,500 gigatons (the weight of more than 20 million Empire State Buildings) of Greenland's ice melted into the ocean during this time period. This makes Greenland one of the top contributors of mass being transferred to the oceans, causing sea level to rise and, consequently, a drift in Earth's spin axis. While ice melt is occurring in other places (like Antarctica), Greenland's location makes it a more significant contributor to polar motion.

I studied Stonehenge extensively during the 1980s and '90s. Not so much in the last twenty five years. I periodically check out Stonehenge videos on You Tube, but it had been years until yours attracted me. I had built my own model at the time, which is probably why yours did.. Excellent model ad an excellent video.. Your six and one half minute synopsis succinctly summarized what I had studied, while makes a compelling case over that the monument's alignment was intended to greet the Winter Solstice Sunset, the diametric opposite of the then consensus that i was oriented to the Summer Solstice Sunrise. Always a pleasure to learn something new. You have inspired me to update my study. Thank you.

IIRC the Heel Stone was one of a pair, so the sun would rise in between them, and anyway, the Winter Solstice Sunset facing the opposite direction was the more important event, so ideally people would be walking through the Heel Stones and watching the sun set in between the center trilithons.

Actually, there’s a myth about how Merlin stole the giant’s stones from Irish territory (an area that could be where modern Wales is today, as it was Irish territory at the time) and transported them to an area of England that seems rather analogous to where Stonehenge is today. And given that the inner circle (the taller stones) of Stonehenge matches material from that area of Wales, and that that region was recently found to have holes in the ground that matched the dimensions of some of Stonehenge’s inner stones, it’s theorized that the inner circle of Stonehenge was originally constructed in Wales, then moved to Salisbury later. So…giants and magick.

I've always been fascinated by how the ancients took Astronomy is an important discipline. Their whole life revolved around it. Apparently the Egyptian pyramids are aligned with the stars.

The bluestones were transported by people not glaciers. Not only has the rockface where they were quarried been identified, but even the exact spot for each one; and some of the tools (wedges) that were used are still in situ.

There is a lot more known. The bluestones were part of an older stonehenge in Whales, much further north and east than Preseli. The people of that region had trade routes with the region where Stonehenge is now and at one point, they moved with their stones to rebuild their structure at the current site. They could have easily moved the stones on wooden sleds at around the speed of walking, meaning they could have moved the stones in a week over land, on the same trade routines used for centuries. Years later, Stonehenge underwent a "remodelling" whereby the large Sarsen stone structures were built and the bluestones were moved.

I think the stonehenge was used for watching stars and making lots of "festivals" during celestial events (not just solstice and equinox) :) I would like to make a modern one, just like I think it would be super cool to make modern pyramids too (both made of real stone). I think the pyramids were amplifiers, and on certain occasions, the different chambers were used for seekers of the inner self to encounter it in in a powerful way in such an energetic place.

Ah, humans underestimate humans. This is really true. People think they're correct, and they can only do it, while some people thousands of years ago also did it. Yes, it would have more effort and time, but that just shows people way before was more patient. This just explains that we like to disrespect our ancestors.

Hi Vox!! I have to be honest, Ive only recently found your channel 🙊🙈😅 but so far I'm loving everything I'm seeing. Your videos are perfect. They are incredibly factual, and the information you deliver is of very high quality. Many everyday people have no knowledge of the Equinoxes, so your explanation of how the exquinox works was a brilliant inclusion and helped better explain Stonehenges relevance to that. And although you deliver it with a great level of maturity and professionalism, you also deliver it with a vocabulary that most people can understand. My niece finds history often intimidating and overwhelming, and it shouldnt be really. its a magnificent tale of what happened here before. And its a very intimate way of getting to understamd the human condition. This was a beautifully executed presentation, i will definitely be watching much more of you and your lovely channel Vox ✌💯
