Stonehenge Answers Why Stonehenge was built and how it was used A full description is given in Secrets of the Avebury Stones.

THIS IS HOW STONEHENGE WORKS
It is a marriage spectacle made by sun and shadow that occurs at sunrise only in midsummer week—and it continues to do so 4500 years after the stones were erected. Anybody can go there and get similar photographs as long as the sun rises in a sharp clear sky.
◊ The marriage is between the gods of Sky and Earth.
◊ The Sky God is here represented by the rising sun.
◊

The Sky God’s representative on Earth is the Heel Stone—the great megalith by the roadside.
◊ The Earth Goddess or Earth Mother is represented by all the stones of Stonehenge. The stones are arranged in such a way that they display her womb and v***a.
◊ The light of the rising sun can pe*****te the monument only in midsummer week; the morning of the summer solstice is optimum.

◊ The sun shines on the vertical icon stone (which goes under the misnamed Altar Stone) for 4 minutes. This stone from South-West Wales is mica-filled, chosen because it sparkles in the morning sunshine.
◊ Then the sun is eclipsed because the Heel Stone is in the way, and so the ph***ic shadow of this stone immediately enters the open v***a of the monument and falls upon the waiting icon stone. The consummation of the Marriage of the Gods is complete.
◊ It is a fertility spectacle that could also be witnessed from outside the monument by hundreds of spectators. You, too, can go and view what the ancients used to watch.
◊ Two Souvenir Press books by Terence Meaden explain this fully:
(1) The Stonehenge Solution
(2) Stonehenge: The Secret of the Solstice

The same sun-to-monument interaction was built into megalithic Avebury 30 km to the north of Stonehenge.

This is the 325 BC story of the earliest, literate, well-educated person to arrive in Iron Age Britain by landing in Kent, Pytheas the Greek. He visited Iron Age Stonehenge and its priests, and continued walking on to the tin-mines and St Michael's Mount in Cornwall. He came from the Greek city-state of Massalia in the Mediterranean, so he was familiar with temples to Apollo and their iconic images. As for Stonehenge, he recognised it as being a Temple to the Sun-God. What is more, the current author reports a ph***ic stone which has lain fallen and unrecognised for centuries in the middle of Stonehenge. It used to stand behind the Altar Stone.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I have had 89 of them now, and I am still working hard writing up archaeological field work of recent years. Hugh Newman was so kind to make a film of my lecture in advance of Megalithomania, shown on 4th May about Pytheas and Stonehenge the Temple of the Sun. Soon, I'll be making announcements about my latest work for which I am proof-reading a book of 360 pages on stone circles.

Wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year.
New publications involving discoveries about Stonehenge are imminent. The photograph is a couple of years old, taken before my back got fractured.

At the conference in France earlier this month on "The Megaliths of the World" Terence Meaden had an explanatory poster on view all week, and on the Saturday gave a presentation of 42 slides. Attached are some of the pictures from that week, but they do not include here the photographs of the splendid Neolithic megalithic monuments that participants saw on the excursion day. Regarding the presentation which was mostly about the stone circles of Cork and Kerry, only the first 3 slides and the last 10 are included. It s important to know that the solution to the Cork and Kerry Irish circles helps explain the core meaning and the primary straightforward purpose of Stonehenge.

Leaving on 10 April 2019 for yet another research expedition to County Cork, Ireland, surveying and analysing prehistoric stone circles for their inbuilt meanings. So far since 2012 I have spent 107 days on research visits to Cork, Kerry and Meath, each expedition from Wiltshire usually lasting 8 to 9 days. One of many discoveries has been the unravelling of the long lost Neolithic and Bronze Age calendar with its eight agricultural festivals, each separated by 45-46 days and starting with the winter solstice.

......THE HEEL STONE [Wiltshire dialect version]

It’s zolstice zunrise at yonder staone,
Tha girt big ‘un that stands alone,
Wi’ zummer zun zhining bright
Droo dew-filled air, its zoothing light
a yeller zunshine varms the Alter
then com Fal’s shadder as it oughter
—an az done zoo yerly ever zince
tha woold voke needed ta convince
emzelves that theas would show em how
ta get tha vertility thay wanted. ‘Wow’,
var howsemdever it gards tha pleace,
lined by staones zet roun tha speace
a zazzen circles raised by a reace
who’ve long zince gone, whose unzeen veace
resembled mine droo ancestral ties
—var DNA yere applies—
Cos we descend vrom th’ainshunt Brits
Whi planned Stonehenge—thoase smarty wits—
Whi passed ess zecrets till we cried:
“Tis hearty good! . . . . Nooooooooooooow, . . .
No matter wot, or wen, or hooow,
I can die with pride.” .......................................Terence Meaden

……….THE HEEL STONE
It’s solstice sunrise at yonder stone,
The great big one that stands alone,
With summer sun shining bright
Through dew-filled air, its’ soothing light
and yellow sunshine warms the Altar
then comes Fal’s shaddow as it ought to
—and has done so yearly ever since
the people needed to convince
themselves that this would show them how
to get the fertility they wanted. ‘Wow’,
for what is more it guards the place,
lined by stones set round the space
of sarsen circles raised by a race
who’ve long since gone, whose unseen face
resembled mine through ancestral ties
—for DNA here applies—
Cos we descend from the ancient Brits
Who planned Stonehenge—those clever wits—
Who passed us secrets till we cried:
“Eureka! . . . . Nooooooooooooow, . . .
No matter what, or when, or hooow,
I can die with pride.”
