herpguy Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I watched a special about stone henge a few days ago, and it said no one knows why it was built. I want to know the most popular idea so please reply with why you think stone henge was built. I think it had something to do with astronomy, but I'm not sure.

ecoli Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 well, the druids obviously needed a place to make their human sacrifices I heard that there are still people who call themselves duids that go there... is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herpguy Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 I heard that there are still people who call themselves duids that go there... is that right? I've heard that they go there and say they are doing what their ancestors did even though they have no idea what they are doing. http://witcombe.sbc.edu/earthmysteries/EMStonehengeC.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aj47 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Yes, go to Stone henge on summer solstis and you'll witness the greatest coming together of weiros on the planet. I have met several druids through a family friend and you really need to have an open mind when talking to them, there just nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tree Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I reckon that stonehenge was something incredibly boring, like a village hall or the tribal chiefs house. If you look at the way it's arranged, it would have been easy to lay big branches right the way across to make the beams for a thatched roof. Pointing at the sun, was probably for the sake of pointing at the sun, to fill the building with light. It's nothing mystical, houses are still built with consideration to wich way they are pointing today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I think its main purpse was to show the strength of the civilization who built it... just like every other big and massive man made structure And I thought it was built before the druids?

RyanJ Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 It seems too be some sort of calendar but no-one is realy shure but it does match with the summer and winter saulsdisks so I suppose thats one of the best guesses. There is also a lot of evidence that many peopel went through therer each year so it does seem to be a place of ceremonial significance too.
