  1. STONEHENGE Druids Lay-lines Stonehenge The bluestones

  2. DRUIDS In the Celtic religion the word Druidry means the practices of the ancient druids, the priestly class in ancient Celtic societies. Their influence was as much social as religious; infact they could be philosophers, scientists, teachers, judges and councillors to the King. The Druids linked the Celtic people with their numerous gods, the lunar calendar and the sacred natural order. The Ancient Order of Druids was founded in 1781 by Henry Hurle.

  3. Lay-lines Lay-lines are energy lines passing through the Earth and one of them crosses Stonehenge.

  4. STONEHENGE Stonehenge is a Neolithic and Bronze Age monument located near Amesbury in the English county of Wiltshire, about 8 miles (13 km) northwest of Salisbury. It is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones, known as megaliths. There is some debate about the age of the stone circle, but most Archaeologists think that it was mainly constructed between 2500 BC and 2000 BC. Stonehenge is surely Britain’s greatest national icon, symbolizing mystery, power and endurance; it was a temple made for workship of ancient earth deities. Many of the original stones have fallen or been removed by Previous generations for home construction or road repair.

  5. THE BLUESTONES The Bluestones are the stones used in the first stone circle and they come from the Prescelly Mountains of Wales. They weigh up to 4 tons each and about 80 stones were used, in all. But the question is: how could men manage to move them? Is thought that they’re brought for kilometros only with the man’s power! During the ages many of them were moved away and the mythology attached to the moving has been attribuited to the magic of Merlin.
