Can you also do a video on Gochang, Hwasun and Ganghwa dolmen sites on the Korean peninsula? They have hundreds if not thousands of dolmen stones stacked in an identical pattern to these with the sort of table top style structure of megalithic stones. They are designated world heritage sites by UNESCO and it's fascinating that they are so similar to ancient megalithic architecture in Great Britain. They also found burial artifacts so they've been dated as well.

The way these barrows were constructed makes so much more sense in this context and it makes me wonder, was Stonehenge and all other henges for that matter constructed in this manner? Stonehenge would certainly make much more sense as a barrow with an open air hole in the middle.

[@penneyburgess5431]

I was taught that ‘Arthur’ was a title. It was a high chieftain status for a warrior king. Since the name translates to ‘the Bear’ and stories of Arthur’s deeds were historically speaking recorded by word of mouth, for an impossible amount of time and he was attributed for an amount historical successes that push it into the realm of impossible, the idea it was more than one man is more plausible.

[@dazuk1969]

I used to live in this part of England. I have seen this structure up close. I do not think it was a burial chamber. Burial mounds were not typically supported by timbers. Put them in, cover them up, walk away is typical. The king Arthur thing has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Great stuff Matt, peace to ya.

[@faithlesshound5621]

Arthur has had his name attached to places and objects all over Britain that are thousands of years as well as hundreds of miles apart. They did the same with Charlemagne in Europe: and he was a real person. Both of them had their name attached to the Big Dipper constellation: Arthur's Wain (wagon) or Charles's Wain.

[@dazuk1969]

@@faithlesshound5621 Hi there, King Arthur is a mythical kind of person...but there is always an element of truth in myth so yes, he was probably real. My main point was this stone monument. It is to large for a typical burial chamber and would have just filled up with soil if you tried to bury it. I used to live near Stonehenge so i am well versed in burial mounds and what should be in them.

Re:Alignments such as Carnac as per Howard Crowhurst. If you plot on google earth points at Arthur’s Stone and the front face of both Skirrid Hill and Garway Hill and close the shape you form a Pythagorean triangle or very close. With A = 21km, B = 13.565km and C = 25km. Also, Garway Hill is an approximate alignment from Arthur’s Stone to Stone Henge 129.5km away. Maybe I’m missing something obvious. Good work Matt as ever.

Awesome Video. Made me go look up a bunch of stuff... My search indicates: Mounds and Henges told travelers where to go. Like a road sign. Calendar alignments as well, but -- There are many alignments across the planet, but sticking to the video, consider these alignments on your maps. Newgrange - Skerrid - Stonehenge... Newgrange - Garway -- Silbury... And add Thorborough playing a large role in other alignments with these sites. Ancient North/South lines with the N-Pole in extreme southern Alaska. Many ancient monument alignments are to this pole, not the current one. So, many alignment are perfect for the ancient pole, and many align to the current one, but they seem much younger. The really old stuff could possibly align to Alaska -- like the Acropolis of Athens aligns to the Ancient N/S perfectly... Something knocked the earth off its axis. When? How many civilizations have lived and died on this planet? I believe that's why we are here. :)

[@flamencoprof]

In 1996, before or perhaps why I began to follow channels such as this, on a visit from NZ I managed to drive to Maiden Castle, the Cerne Giant, Stonehenge, the Uffington Horse, the Rollright Stones, Glastonbury, Avebury, Silbury Hill, West Kennet Long Barrow, the Hill o' Many Stanes in Scotland, plus before that, Carnac and a few other sites in France. and before that some really ancient cave art in Spain. (The tour was supposed to be based around my ex's desire to see famous paintings;-) That was when I realised the format of a flat stone on top of smaller upright stones was originally the support for a buried chamber, and the sites where the stones are exposed have been eroded or excavated since built. I think West Kennet gave me the most ancient vibes.

[@samharrison8723]

If you wanted to calculate the length of the equator you would do it at Carnac, north west france. Then, if you wanted to investigate the average degree length you would go to the latitude of stonehenge and avebury, between 51 and 52° North.(I noticed "the halls of the dead" was almost perfectly on the 52° line). Aveburys siting is geomantic, at (360/7)° north. Stonehenge is 17.28 miles south of this line of 51°25' at 51°10'. This is one quarter of the distance between 51° and 52°. Also, mysteriously, 1728 as a number equals 12x12x12... If you wanted to map the stars you would use a henge like the ones at thornborough. If you wanted to measure the difference between the stars of orion you would definitely go to that location! If you wanted to study the strange pattern of the moon, you would do so in Scotland where it grazes the horizon. The Egyptian Royal cubit is 1.728 feet. A number that reveals itself again... but only when measured in English feet? Is the Imperial Unit far far far far older than we are taught? (Yes. It is!) How would they keep the foot standard for so long....? I have the answer, and you have all seen it, time and time again. Many of you will know and love the repositories of the ancient measures for they are numerous and always splendid!

[@faithlesshound5621]

It's amazing that those prehistoric people settled on 17.28 miles, thousands of years before decimal fractions were invented and even before the imperial mile. Mediaeval England had different standards for measurements in every county, as had the rest of Europe before the metric system erased all of that.

[@samharrison8723]

@@faithlesshound5621 It is. The system of metrology in the ancient world is the most fascinating thing I have ever learnt. It it perfect in its execution and logical in it's progession. The unveiling of the ancient system was first by John Michell who saw the relationships between the measures for what they are. His idea was correct but incomplete. John Neal takes the credit for sorting out the mess! His analysis of metrology cannot really be discounted. The reason for this is that the system is, for want of a better word, "self-proving" (terrible, sorry!) I would direct anyone interested to his books. All done with mirrors- correct, but still a work in progress so some parts are in need if refinement (see below!) Ancient metrology vol 1: a numerical code Ancient Metrology vol 2 : The geographic correlation. The refinement needed in the first book are dealt with in the two volumes of ancient metrology. Further works relevent to this system are: The lost science of measuring the earth- Michell/Robin Heath Carnac The Alignments- Howard Crowhurst Sacred number and the lords of time (I know! But this is maybe the best of them all!)- Richard Heath Megalithic measures and rhythms- Anne Macauley Time stands still- Keith Critchlow Taking measure- scott Onstott The measures revealed in these books become increasingly hard to argue with!

[@peterlarkin762]

That comment took time and is appreciated:) Measurement systems are the most astonishing thing about ancient architecture. The symbolism, myth, geology etc is all endlessly interesting, but the numbers are where the wow moments are! Our ancestors obsessed with geometry, geomancy, and mapping movements. Experts in natural law. I also feel it's a real indication that this civilisation/culture was stable for millennia. How many generations of people does it take to come up with that degree of mathematical elegance.

[@samharrison8723]

@@peterlarkin762 I agree! I think the most difficult thing for people to grasp is that the "science" was regarded as sacred. Revealed through geometry and number, they reached conclusions about the universe that modern science does not. For transparency, I am in agreement with the ancients. I used to be extremely dogmatic regarding archaeology and religion. I was very much in the ritual and ceremony group regarding stone circles and very much a staunch atheist. Without being too dramatic, the study of ancient measures and the number pattern that it is built on changed my life! I had to reassess my beliefs. The numbers are there though, like you say, in time, in measure and entwined in the myths. It is so perplexing at first, it seems like a trick! But it's not. The monuments are where they are. They are the size that they are. They are the distances from each other that they are. Anyone can check these distances. Anyone can measure the diameter of stonehenge or the steps of the Parthenon. Anyone can measure the angles of the rows at carnac and measure the mounds. Anyone can see the sunlight in a chamber within a mound on an astronomically significant day. Anyone can go to the kilmartin valley and see it all for themselves! These things can be and are verified. Once you accept that, you begin to see the ancients in a very different way. I feel really sorry for those that refuse to look. I used to laugh at John Michell and refused to read Alexander Thom because Aubrey Burl implied it was a waste of time. It was my great fortune that I did read Professor Thoms work, despite its fallacies, for he was the pioneer and although he was wrong metrologically speaking, his surveys and geometrical analysis were nearly perfect! I thank the Heath brothers for sorting all his problems out! (Alexander Thom, Cracking the Stone Age Code- Robin Heath). Finally, I think you are quite correct in your belief that it was this that kept a stable form of society for such long periods.

Don’t be embarrassed! We’re all learning all the time. That’s the fun of it 👍

[@danhnguyen-fn9eb]

Couple of things. Since Arthur's Stone seems to be a focal point or central location for the 2 known alignments has anyone checked to see if there are other ancient structures in the area that line up with it? Also, prior to the structure being built could this spot or local area be the place where the tribes or Clans of some hunter gatherers coalesced into a single larger group that transitioned into the first farmers of the region? Farming needed lots of people especially when it came to transforming the land such as felling trees to make fields and pastures. Ancient farming itself was very labor intensive. So then perhaps later generations remembered this spot as the place where they became a people and that's why it was held in such high regard and like Matt said a Ruler of these folks was probably buried there. Then there are the two alignments first to one spot some distance away then to the other some distance away. Could this be showing the extent of the territory controlled by these people?

Thanks Matt. Has it ever occurred to you that Arthur's "Sword from a Stone" is simply the tale of how bronze was cost in stone molds using Cornish tin? Arthur was born at Tin-tagel Castle there which does not seem to be mere coincidence. Have a look at this fascinating 5:10 min video on pouring tin into hot copper to make a bronze sword, which is pulled - Ex Calibur -- from the stone mold. This of course means that the conventional chronology is rubbish -- oh well -- and that he or his know-how really belongs around 2000 BC. I got a text from Merlin who says this is correct. But don't take my word for it. (Cue the 3:40 mark): kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHabqHx-d9aiqdE "Wow" at 5 min mark is right.

Is there evidence of the stone being shaped or worked? Is the stone local to the area? It looks like softer stone than Stonehenge based on the weathering, although being older also must taken into account. There is definitely a purposeful looking placement to the stones, despite the wear and shifting over thousands of years. As all the stones look to be similar, is there any sort of layering visible that can be used to determine possible natural vs unnatural orientation? One question that really stands out in my mind is whether the stones might originate from a glacial erratic? I grew up close the the Okotoks Erratic in Canada (and climbed on and through it) when I was young and this reminds me of it a little. I believe it held spiritual significance to the First Nations people of the area as well.

Structures/boats/objects PETRIFIED in Time after big catastrophies 🙏 But Hei.. If you go after big carved jaw Brien Foester or History Mystery (hisHistory Channel) ...well then Yes ... They are carved or quarries ..

[@trader2137]

what?? are u high?

[@AncientArchitects]

I’m not sure how a catastrophe petrifies something? That’s my issue. Nobody has been able to explain this scientifically. I’m always willing to listen to new ideas though.

[@K22channel]

@@AncientArchitects Catastrophies didn't hapened Yesterday but long ago .. And anyone can see the thickness of the roof ❗That is MOST probably PETRIFIED ash.. If you happened to pay a visit to Italy you will find those ancient dwelling still engulfed in that that looks like a "carved" cave❗ But a cave It is not. ... Meditate🙏 On Wise up Channel you see more of that stuff and also on my old vids ( but at that time I was more on to the cutting pattern on the surface.. ) ... The very Ancient Civilizations that were here didn't Need to leave signe of their superiority towards us. The last traces are from the two last Civilizations.. Very much with our technological level... That is why they didn't make it Galactic or Inside the Earth...but Is is my speculation🙏 take care.

Imagined..... hell that’s like so much science these days! Who imagined it? Sounds like evolution to me

It was probably moved to point towards an undiscovered site.

If you ever get the chance you should give Journey to Avalon by Chris Barber & David Pykitt a read. Mind blowing, not a large book, easy to digest and understand and the revelations in it are extremely exciting.

HI Matt this is Very similar to Cashtal yn Ard just up the road from where I live. I'm gong to have look see it the hills around the area fit with yours...

[@percydevries]

Check pit the hunnebeds in the netherlands, they all look like that. Folklore says giants build them

[@DDay-vv9ec]

It amazes me that everything that is discovered that is ancient people say was for religious reasons.but back then about every waking minute was geared towards survival.growing food cutting wood or hunting. Maybe this was just a house that people lived in..

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

6: 26, maybe signal fires on Gadway Hill and Skirrid Hill, and seen at Arthur's Stone, played a part. 7: 37, OK, its obvious now. It's no doubt an ancient McDonald's.

[@Fatherofheroesandheroines]

Seems to me it's the same civilization building all of these mounds and such. I say civilization because if you traditionally define a civilization then hunter gathering couldn't have created this complex a building. I also believe the same about Gobekle Tepe

We haven similar structures in holland. Called hunebedden. Probably the same age

[@user-mp3eq6ir5b]

More like the indentations on Arthur's Stone were the footprints of the Gingerbread Boy... the things Tour Guides tell Tourists!

[@nigelren3719]

Wolves, wild boar, lynx and bears cuttin about, but buildings were "ceremonial" All of them, all the dolmens. The folk would go into a wee hole in the ground that they built at great effort and do a ceremony. Picture it, burning incense and stuff. Get real.

[@wilfredprins9718]

Looking like the hunnebed in the Netherlands

... only because Stonehenge was reconstructed by machinery...

[@mikeg.5233]

Arthur’s stone is older than Stonehenge because Stonehenge was built in 1954. Check it out. 😳

[@silasvongreenback264]

The evidence to refute this most flimsy of theories just goes on and on and on.

[@cynthiarowley719]

Older than Stonehenge, the stones or the surrounding ditch? Arthur's stone should have a ditch, maybe?

[@maxtaylor1026]

Signal fire / lookout platforms.

[@gazgano]

Geography. People over complicate the reasons for why they did things. It is obvious to me that during such times one of the most important things would be the ability to signal people for miles around. choose a prominent hill to bury your leader ? Check ✅ Does it have astrological alignment? ✅

[@tardigrade9493]

Don't enjoy looking at multiple copies of the same image, e.g. Don't need to see the same picture of King Arthur every time his name is mentioned. Why are you not mentioning that Neolithic people couldn't lift the CAP stones?

[@dogone7262]

Love your efforts man! You're not only going for the easy fantasy-crap, but try to stay objective to the data presented. You'll win in the long run on that approach. Having said that, most of your followers would not reject a fantastic theory or hypothesis.

[@elmafudd9703]

Its all conjecture. we have no idea how old it is or what its for. The rest is about as real as Narnia.
