Stonehenge altar stone from Scotland

I wonder, will this have the Scots claiming Stonehenge is now theirs, in the same delusional way that they claimed they were World Cup Champions after beating England in 1967?

All The Best

Evidence of the druids doing that?

Back at the time, Christianity sought to not only displace native religions but prevent their return.
It did so by demonisation.
Propaganda.

You don't just move a rock 400+ miles just to kill people on it. Whatever motivated the Druids to build Stonehenge, it must have been love, to put that much effort into it. So why would loving people commit murder?

That must have REALLY pissed off the Cottage Burner who set out to laud and applaud his fellow ubernationalists for their ancestor's achievements...

None of the experts that have studied Stonehenge can say for certain what took place at Stonehenge or if sacrifices were carried out there, it is considered by many that is was built to worship the Sun and Moon, the longest and shorted day of the year.

Funerals may have taken place as graves have been found near the site believed to be Druids the Romans and Greeks did write about the edifice but how accurate they are the experts are not certain.

Nobody knows with any degree of accuracy IMHO

nah not quite.


Stonehenge was built in six stages between 3000 and 1520 BCE, during the transition from the Neolithic Period (New Stone Age) to the Bronze Age . So if the construction was started in 3000 bc , thats half a millennia before the beaker people came to these islands. It was the neolithic people , who didnt practice druidism , that began the construction.

The beaker people themselves however, who came here from roughly 2500 bc onwards , were thought to have brought the first Celtic , or proto Celtic language and culture with them , possibly an ancient form of old Gaelic . If so , and the beakers were the original Celts , then they practiced the polytheist  druidic religion , the druids being the priest caste in Celtic culture.

not aware of wether the druids used Stonehenge or not , but the famous Celtic historian and writer Peter Beresford ellis mentions in his book "the druids" a passage on the rituals of the druids and remarks on what little evidence there is appears to be nothing more than greek and roman propaganda from the ancient world regarding human sacrifice.

no there isnt. What claims there is appears to be nothing more than greek and roman propaganda . ancient ethnographers did not once witness any of these so called human sacrifices they claimed the druids practiced , and archaeology has not been able to provide evidence.

The present day claims of druidic human sacrifice rests solely on texts that distort reality and exaggerate frequency for sensationalism from the ancient world  enemies of the Celts.
