Excellent transfer👍🔥🐦‍🔥 Sante sangre was also a good one.

The terraces were actually gradually worn down over thousands of years by neolithic man as they celebrated the equinox by tracing anti-clockwise DOWN the tor at autumn equinox and walking clockwise UP the tor at spring equinox to celebrate the strengthening and waning seasons. It was never populated as it was a sacred site. Its quite likely the only people allowed on the tor were priests, the rest of the population who would travel from long distances to the site to watch the priests from the base. It was definitely a religious site because the catholic church built a christian monument on it as they had a habit of doing. Nearly every old church in the UK is built on old pagan religious sites. The neothlics came to Glastonbury for the equinoxes and Stonehenge for the solstices. The current annual Glastonbury festivals are actually held at the wrong time and should move to mid September to be in tune with the historical energy of this sacred place. But, weather is probably a factor here.

It'd make a great winery

I met a welsh guy tripping on acid there.he came there especially.i got a photo of a cow in the tor looks like pink floyd cover

Man is only as good as his intentions are...😮. But here in Africa their versions of Witchcraft is to enforce as much pain and suffering, thru phyto-drug inducements and poisons...As experience has taught me, much of their harm is caused by people who have an all out resentment, hatred for one. No matter how kind U've been to them, they are and can become extremely vindictive at the drop of a hat...by comparison a knive in a kitchen is as useful as it dangerous weapon, it works both ways...😢😮😢...

Religion is all about wealth, prestige, money and power. While telling the poor that being poor they will inherit the Kingdom of the Earth... Whata sodden lotta hogwash, so as to compensation for their belief efforts...as any Religious belief system in any form is just a business...a business as usual. So as the appease them spirits😊😅😂.

A mate and i did mushrooms up on the tor. Listened to the night, dogs barking miles away.

If you want to see something magical at the Tor. I recommend during the winter solstice

lol James losing his mind already "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DRINK FOR GOD SAKES!!!!!! ^-^; "

We got the fat orange hippo for president >:(

subbed. Peter Sallis missed deeply. He gave us Wallace in those Wallace & Gromit movies. <3

Its a drumlin, formed by glaciers during the Ice Age. We have them in Ontario, Canada.🇨🇦

Wonderful thank you! Nice to have something exploring the ideas without a tongue in cheek.

Thank you for uploading this.

Surely the monks didn’t invent Arthur in the 1100’s, The writer Bede mentioned him in the 7th century

The terracing was it sheep?.

My opinion - witches 🧙‍♀️wicca 🧹 Pagan etc should not be on social media....

Saxon church? Anglian hands built it.

I think water tower architecture is underappreciated. It's very 30s isn't it. I think you may have been channelling Jonathan Meades a bit there.

I liked that. Ifind the way nature takes back these industrial places really interesting. And it's not where you might expect to find an homage to Van Gogh :)

I live in Glastonbury and I can see the top of the Tor from an upstairs window.

Wow a great film

So many legends and myths surround Glastonbury and the Tor. Some, quite fanciful, some , like a medieval or gothic romance, colourful and heroic. Some conjure up fairies, witches, wizards and magic. Connections to " King" Arthur and Guinevere. Some promote mysterious lay lines, hidden meanings, " networks of power" and other pagan beliefs. There is no doubt that there is something quite other worldly about the area. Especially the Tor itself. But these notions that are prevalent nowadays probably existed in ancient peoples who lived in the area too. The geography alone makes the imagination run wild with possibilities. The Ancients had imaginations too. These imaginations were probably triggered by natural phenomenon, the weather, pagan beliefs systems etc and over millennia developed into the myths and legends we associate with Glastonbury now. The writer Mallory very likely built his Arthurian romance on such legends and this, in turn, all adds to the general myths about the area. Whether you believe the myths and legends or not is really an irrelevance because what Glastonbury is nowadays is a fantastic addition to Britains culture, history, literature and " being". It's truly a remarkable asset to the islands that make up Great Britain and a contribution ( in all it's aspects, real or otherwise) to the cultures of the world. In that respect Glastonbury is truly "Magical".

The wet lands as graze lands, the uplands, terraced, for food crops

My brother and I slept in the tower on top of Glastonbury Tor in 1995.... We went down on the spare only to see Oasis, however we ended up being directed to the wrong stage by a young man (who I still hold resentment for) and we saw the Boo Radleys and Jamiroquai instead 😠... Other than missing Oasis, my camera being stolen and getting sacked from my job for being late on the Monday, we had a pretty great weekend 😋

I love these old docs. They are so genuine.

And now pilgrims go to the music festival instead, same basic thought as 800 years ago 🙂

The monks were great storytellers and liked wealth. The legends were fabrication, which is a shame !

Goodness, a story by Roald Dahl and narrated by Vincent Price? What a priceless treasure!

Didn’t the Church come out with the idea to build churches where the Pagans worship and that after time they would forget the original reason they came there?

..even the greeks tried to grow grapes there in pre history

A barrow? Another Stone Henge under tons of earth?

Joseph of Arimathea (Aram of Athena?) was an extremely wealthy heir to a glass industry fortune and an early Christian disciple. He fled Palestine before the destruction of Jerusalem and founded Glastonbury, later known as Camelot.

Prof Manning's other series, 'Earth Story', is well worth a view as well.

Has anyone ever used Lidar ? Or conducted a carefully controlled excavation? Could this be a barrow? A burial site?

How has he managed to make an entire documentary about the island of the Tor and avoided the fact that it’s one of many islands in that area? It’s not unique in its area. It has a building on top of course but there’s several others and it’s also nestled right at the foot of the mendips, not standing alone on a plain as suggested.

Graeme Hancock says, "This was built by aliens with the help of unicorns 3.2 billion years ago"....little known fact, it came in under budget by 32%.

Prof Manning was as lovely a guy as he comes over in the BBC programmes. 1930 to 2018.

As the Catholics built their church on the summit it is certain it was a place of spiritual significance long before.

Am I the only one who gets frustrated at the theories archeologists give? The ritual stuff they describe and the meanings of sites almost always sound completely made-up

I'd say the Tor looks more like a minge than a left tit.

Near Mt Diablo in California are hillsides terraced by cattle. Over 150 years of grazing cattle.

Isn’t it possible that the narrow strips being farmed were used by peasants who had no land rights in the good areas? That that was all that was available?
