Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, England, 3 km (2 mi) west of Amesbury. The structure consists of a ring of obelisks, each approximately 4.1 m high, 2.1 m wide and weighing approximately 25 tonnes. The stones are located in the middle of the densest complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England. Although it is still not fully known why the monument was built, it has been determined that there were religious buildings around it in the past.[1] Archaeologists believe that this structure was built between 3000 BC and 2000 BC. The circular embankment and ditch that constitute the earliest phase of the monument were shaped, according to estimates, in 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating shows that the first Bluestones were found between 2400 BC and 2200 BC.[2] However, it is possible that they were found as early as 3000 BC. One of the most popular structures in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is considered a British cultural icon.[3] It has been a legally protected Ancient Monument since 1882, when the historic monuments protection act was first successfully introduced in England. The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's World Heritage list in 1986. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage; The surrounding land belongs to the National Trust.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones. Inside is a ring of smaller bluestones. Inside these are free-standing trilithons, two bulkier vertical sarsens joined by one lintel. The whole monument, now ruinous, is aligned towards the sunrise on the summer solstice. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the densest complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds). Archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was constructed from 3000 BCE to 2000 BCE. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BCE. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BCE, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BCE. The lower picture was taken in 1932 prior to the restoration of the stones. The restorations began in 1901 and continued through many phases until the final restoration was completed in 1963 (Top Photo).

THE LOST CITIES: STONEHENGE with ALBERT LIN

What can I tell you, it is what it is and we animals, some with brains, still remain as the proverbial sacrificial lamb. Many have given their say as to what the scientific chaman think Stonehenge may have been. To me, it looks like a sacred area with an alter for, possibly, human sacrifice or any other kind of animals. I say human sacrifice because it was the popular thing back then.

The mystery remain how it got there. It is not something you can throw on your back and carry it there push it there.

If you are interested in the subject, I suggest you watch many of the videos produced.

8869-3 https://youtu.be/_RyqU1r1Fmk

My take on the "B" movie that follows, let's say I've seen worse. It is entertaining and the protagonist is STONEHENGE, which is the topic of our conversation. The actors weren't bad, but you could see they were playing a role. The script, very Hollywoodish style. Would I recommend it, yes, if you got nothing better to do.

Stonehenge Apocalypse is a 2010 Canadian made-for-TV science fiction. The movie follows a series of deaths, natural disasters, and strange energy readings that seem to be mysteriously connected to Stonehenge.

An ancient prophecy comes to pass when archaeologists unearth an Egyptian chamber 10,000 feet below ground in Maine USA, sparking a devastating electromagnetic pulse that triggers Stonehenge and, in turn, sends destructive shockwaves around the globe.

When the Aztec pyramids crumble and the stones take on a life of their own, a renegade radio host, a team of scientists, and a team of British commandos race to prevent the same force responsible for creating life on Earth from cleansing the planet in order to herald the dawn of a new age.

Flexible Working Amesbury: How it Can Benefit Your Business

youtube

In today's digital age, flexible working is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. It offers many benefits to both employees and employers. In this article, we will explore the benefits of flexible working in Amesbury and how it can help your business succeed.

What is Flexible Working? Flexible working refers to any type of work arrangement that allows employees to have more control over their working hours and location. This can include working from home, job sharing, compressed hours, and flexible start and finish times.

Benefits of Flexible Working for Employees Flexible working can have a positive impact on employees' work-life balance, reducing stress levels, and increasing job satisfaction. By giving employees more control over their working hours, they can better manage their personal responsibilities, such as childcare or caring for elderly relatives.

Flexible working also allows employees to work in a way that suits their individual needs and preferences. This can help to increase motivation and productivity as employees feel valued and trusted by their employer.

Benefits of Flexible Working for Employers Flexible working can also benefit employers in many ways. Firstly, it can help to attract and retain top talent by offering a more attractive work-life balance. This can be especially important in highly competitive industries where skilled employees are in high demand.

Flexible working can also lead to increased productivity and employee engagement. By allowing employees to work in a way that suits them best, they are more likely to be motivated and committed to their work, leading to higher productivity levels.

Flexible working can also help to reduce costs for employers, such as office space and equipment. With more employees working from home, employers can reduce their overheads, freeing up resources to invest in other areas of the business.

Flexible Working in Amesbury Amesbury is a town located in Wiltshire, England. With its close proximity to the A303, it is a popular location for businesses looking to expand their operations.

Architecture and Monuments: Stonehenge - England

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet high, seven feet wide, and weighing around 25 tons. The whole monument, now ruinous, is orientated towards the sunrise on the summer solstice. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).

Some archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC. One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon. It has been a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882, when legislation to protect historic monuments was first successfully introduced in Britain.

Stonehenge was produced by a culture that left no written records. Many aspects of Stonehenge, such as how it was built and for what purposes it was used, remain subject to debate. A number of myths surround the stones. The site, specifically the great trilithon, the encompassing horseshoe arrangement of the five central trilithons, the heel stone, and the embanked avenue, are aligned to the sunset of the winter solstice and the opposing sunrise of the summer solstice. A natural landform at the monument's location followed this line, and may have inspired its construction. The excavated remains of culled animal bones suggest that people may have gathered at the site for the winter rather than the summer. Further astronomical associations, and the precise astronomical significance of the site for its people, are a matter of speculation and debate.

There is little or no direct evidence revealing the construction techniques used by the Stonehenge builders. Over the years, various authors have suggested that supernatural or anachronistic methods were used, usually asserting that the stones were impossible to move otherwise due to their massive size. However, conventional techniques, using Neolithic technology as basic as shear legs, have been demonstrably effective at moving and placing stones of a similar size. The most common theory of how prehistoric people moved megaliths has them creating a track of logs which the large stones were rolled along.

“Medieval queens, who were among the greatest lords in England, of course also owned deer parks and forests – and they, too, altered the ‘ecological signature’ of their landscapes. For example the park of Kings Langley (Hertfordshire), which was made for Eleanor of Castile in 1276, was stocked with 30 fallow does from her Hampshire estate at Odiham, as well as five white roe-bucks and one white doe from the king’s forest of Cannock (Staffordshire), some 170km away. Aside from their purely aesthetic appeal, this importing of fauna associated with the primary signifiers of the nobility –hunting and heraldic display – is in line with Eleanor’s obvious concern to alter the external appearance of her castles and palaces more generally, for example through ornate gardening schemes which reflected the status of their occupant.

Surviving evidence shows that many late-medieval English queens went to great lengths to preserve the deer and other resources in their parklands, in that way linking parks directly with the question of lordly authority. Indeed the ways in which queens actually used their landscapes, including building work on their castles and palaces, is an aspect that deserves further study. This is particularly the case because high-status women have traditionally been discussed in historiography firmly behind closed doors in the ‘private sphere’.

In view of O’Keeffe’s observations (see above) it is worth pointing out that among queens’ traditional dower properties were many castles, some of which were the preferred residences of particular queens. Leeds Castle (Kent) was a favourite of Eleanor of Castile (d.1290); Marlborough Castle (Wiltshire) was beloved by Margaret of France, who died there in 1318; Isabella of France (d.1358) chose to spend her widowhood – and confinement, after the death in suspicious circumstances of her husband, Edward II – at Castle Rising (Norfolk), and Joan of Navarre (d.1437) favoured Devizes Castle (Wiltshire), as had many of her predecessors.

Moreover queens could be highly active regarding castles. In 1257 the patent rolls record that Eleanor of Provence (d.1291) had ordered the constable of Windsor Castle to hand over crossbows for the munition of Corfe Castle (Dorset), and she also arranged the delivery of weapons for Dover Castle while staying there, later in her consortship. On her widowhood in 1272, Windsor Castle and its forest were committed to her so that she answer at the Exchequer [for it] in the same manner as Nicholas de Yatingdene, late constable of that castle, deceased, used to answer. Her daughter in law, Margaret of France, who will appear frequently in this paper, apparently fought hard c.1305 to be assigned, as was traditional, the Forest of Savernake in Wiltshire alongside her castle of Marlborough, as her husband, Edward I, eventually granted it to her, saying that he had had no intention... that the forest, which is necessary for the frequent repairs of the castle... should be omitted.

Indeed one of Edward’s last acts in 1307 was an acceptance as though it had been of the king’s will, of takings by Margaret, the queen consort, of timber in the forests... and parks belonging to the castles, etc., granted to her for life, for the repair of the same, and of gifts by her of oaks [from them] to divers persons. Later, she was given license to grant oaks to whomsoever she will. Clearly Margaret was aware of the symbiotic nature of the castle/forest relationship, and used gifts of forest resources to enhance her royal reputation through largesse, just as did kings.

Many royal forests were held by queens as part of their dower properties, over which they invariably exercised full seigneurial jurisdiction – Isabella of France’s right to appoint her own justices of the forest for the Forest of Essex, to hold forest courts there whenever she thought fit, and to receive all fines raised in them, for example, was confirmed in 1324. In the 13th century the queen’s forests included Savernake Forest in Wiltshire (along with Marlborough Castle), Gillingham Forest in Dorset, Bere Porchester (with Portchester Castle) in Hampshire, Feckenham Forest in Worcestershire, the Forest of Rockingham in Northamptonshire and the New Forest in Hampshire.

The forests were, of course, central to a queen’s revenues; before Edward I’s intervention resulted in a pardon, Margaret of France had been due a 2,000-mark fine for trespasses in the forest from John Lovel of Tichmarsh (Northamptonshire). Margaret’s grant of Rockingham Forest, including timber for repair of the manors of King’s Cliffe and Brigstock, is another illustrative example. It allowed her at all her visits there firewood for the expenses of her household, as much and as often as she likes, and also to have her game, as well in the said forests and woods as in the... parks [of]... the said manors, and take venison and have it taken by her people (implying that she was expected to hunt in person on occasion).

Queens are most often observed in the documents using forests to exercise their patronage through the granting of forest offices – although it is not always easy to do more than assume their direct influence behind the decisions made. For example in 1272 a servant of Eleanor of Provence, Richard Dyve, was given the wardenship of the Forest of Weybridge in Huntingdonshire with mandate to foresters, verderers, and other ministers of that forest to be intendant to him. This was presumably a reward for good service, which Eleanor must at least have approved.

Similarly queens could protect favoured servants by engineering their exemption from serving as foresters, regarders and verderers against their will, as was probably the case regarding Eleanor’s cook, Master Henry Lovel, in 1248. Eleanor of Provence’s hand is possibly more clearly observable in 1290, when pardons were issued by her son, Edward I, to the prioress of Westwood and others for trespasses of vert and venison in the Forest of Feckenham, over which Eleanor had had lordship while queen consort, but which was by this time in the hands of her daughter-in-law, Eleanor of Castile. The pardons were issued while the king was staying at Amesbury (Wiltshire), in the abbey of which his widowed mother had been living “as a humble nun of the order of Fontevrault” since 1286.

The involvement of queens regarding forests was in any case certainly not all passive, and their personal concern, and their own agency, can sometimes be observed more directly. A dispute over tenure in Gillingham Forest runs, in the Close Rolls, for around two years from June 1311. The complainants asserted that they had a right to the lands as tenants in chief, by service of keeping the forest and park. However Margaret of France argued that the lands were ancient demesne, held of her according to the custom of the manor, and that she ought to do... right according to the said custom. By December 1312 her stepson, Edward II, was complaining that ...the queen would not execute [his orders regarding the matter], alleging a reason for not doing so that the king deems insufficient.

Margaret was obviously attempting to exercise close control over her estate, and to exercise good lordship, the judgement of the king notwith-standing. She almost certainly wished to use the office(s) of forester and park-keeper to reward her own favoured servants, and her involvement, and the frequency with which she appears in this paper actively guarding her rights and asserting her agency, is noteworthy since studies of queens have found it hard to locate her voice by interrogating more traditional sources. Clearly a focus on landscape has the potential to uncover a different side of queenship.”
