Description
Part of archaeologists' objections was their belief that prehistoric Britons would not have been sophisticated enough to produce such accurate measurements across the landscape. If you're not entirely normal and everyday, your first thought might be something more like, "Oh, right — ley lines that connect sacred sites throughout the world. But it was his ideas about “ley lines” – tracks developed by prehistoric man for navigational purposes – which he believed covered Herefordshire, all of the UK and possibly even the entire globe that brought him fame in the early 20th Century.

The stone circle sits on a line that connects a great number of locations with special significance. The idea that ancient sacred sites might have been constructed in alignment with one another was proposed in 1846 by the Reverend Edward Duke, who observed that some prehistoric monuments and medieval churches aligned with each other.Attitudes to the archaeological establishment varied among ley hunters, with some of the latter wanting to convert archaeologists to their beliefs and others believing that that was an impossible task. Again, ideas such as this originated much later than Watkins’ original book, but are certainly the overall perception of the phenomenon today. The ridge runs remarkably straight in many places as it traverses through the surrounding countryside. Very often one sees archetypal ley markers, such as clumps of trees, unusual stones, edges of medieval hedges and roads, etc.

He was an intensely rational person with an active intellect, and I think he would be a bit disappointed with some of the fringe aspects of ley lines today. It's situated roughly in the centre of the British Isles and is a place of earth energy that is crisscrossed with ley lines.The line crosses the Prime Meridian right next to Greenwich Observatory, where that meridian was established. These are known as "terminal points" and can be highly visible landmarks through to sites where buildings or structures once stood. Living on the outskirts of Winchester, the ancient capital of Wessex and England, I was well placed for this new hobby.

We're dedicated to exploring all the dark history, horror, folklore and mysterious phenomena our islands have to offer. The ruins’ central area extends approximately 200 acres (80 hectares), making Great Zimbabwe the largest of 150 significant stone ruins scattered across Zimbabwe and Mozambique. At this time, people came to believe that the lines themselves somehow held great energy, and that they in fact spanned the whole globe—not just Britain. He thought the magnetic field of the earth was a free source of energy, but his work was undermined and discredited by Thomas Edison. Some of Watkins' other ideas, such as his belief that widespread forest clearance took place in prehistory rather than later, would nevertheless later be recognised by archaeologists.The term ley derived from the Old English term for a cleared space, with Watkins adopting it for his lines because he found it to be part of the place-names of various settlements that were along the lines he traced.

Continuing belief [ edit ] Modern Pagans in Britain often believe in ley lines running through ancient sites, such as the Coldrum Long Barrow in Kent. The result is a worldwide grid that plots several significant monolithic structures and sacred sites.Gradually, I found out more about John Dee, about the omphalos, and about others interested in the same thing. In fact, as you follow the ley line from the omphalos south to the river, you notice that almost the entire stretch is undeveloped: parks, gardens, football pitches. Some believe the statues are alien faces, while others say they are stylized versions of Polynesians who inhabited the area.
