Among many religions the lowest part of the world, usually represented
as the realm of the god or goddess of the dead. It is here that the
spirits of the deceased stay. The underworld is seperated from the world
of the living by an impassable abyss or river (such as the Styx). The
entrance to this realm is often guarded by a huge monster, such as the
Greek Cerberus and the Norse Garm. The Greeks and the Romans had their
Hades; the Egyptians Duat; in the ancient Indian mythology eggshaped
worldview Brahmanda it was called Naraka; the Germans called it Helheim;
the Incas called it Uca Pacha; the Aztecs referred to the underworld as
Mictlan; and the Mayas believed in Mitnal.
For the Celt's, Hades was called Annwn, (the House of Shadows) and
Stonehenge is a functioning (accumulator) replica of the Hollow Earth. The
henges representing the gates, (portals) to the seven heavens, which the
dead must pass through before judgement and rebirth. Hazel.
