Hi everyone,
Tonight while flipping through the TV channels I landed on a program on the Discovery channel about the Druids, some of their rituals, and Stonehedge. Unfortunately, I only caught the tail end of the program. But, I have always been fascinated with Stonehedge, the mystery surrounding it, the mystical purpose of it, and when it was shown tonight on TV my old questions came up. How was it built? I always would conjure up ways in my mind on how they may have built it---w/o the machinery we have today such as cranes. But tonight, I recalled Mr. Cater's account of levitation produced by sound, drums and trumpet music, (pg. 520) and it became clear to me that this is the only possible explanation. Unless anyone has a better idea?
Another fascinating aspect of Stonehedge, at least for me, is that in all the pictures I have seen of it, there are absolutely no other boulders/large stones in sight. The land around it seems to be free of them. So, where did the stones come from to build Stonehedge, and how were they transported. The only answer I can come up with is teleportation, (Cater pg. 402) unless the musicians were like pied-pipers & somehow lead the stones across the land in a levitation march, somehow guided to where it would be built. If teleported, then I would have to believe they fined tuned it to an art, to be able to have the stones appear exactly where they wanted them to.
So, this has me wondering, if the ancients indeed employed levitation as a means of building the many shrines that are here for us to witness today, why did this art stop? Surely not because of the tools that were introduced in early times, unless there are tools we are unaware of that could actually accomplish these feats. Why would a tribe, or a people, stop using levitation and teleportation as means for building, and for many other things? This question baffles me? Any ideas?
