    All through my childhood my dad used to draw lines with a ruler and pencil on his maps linking old churches built about 15-45 miles apart in exact straight lines. He asked me to help, but I was only supposed to look for churches on the OS map drawn as a square with a cross, not a circle with a cross. I asked why, he said, The square churches are older, and many were built on top of old stone circles or other pagan worship sites.
    The thing is, you can always link more than 40% of the old churches on any OS map in these exact straight lines. The ones I found were often but not always in line of site with each other from the spire. Where is this information being studied? I find nothing about it on the internet. I found 7 churches in an exact line once, but mostly it was 3 or 4 churches in a line, because I didn't have the neighboring map to check further.

      In Scotland its easy to tell if a churchyard is very old or not. The old ones don't have sharp corners becasue the old folk believed that the devil would hide in the corners.

    I had the good fortune of living on The Circus in Bath for three years. It emanates an extraordinary energy in the quiet of the morning and evenings (without the tour groups!). Its circumference is said to be the same as Stonehenge. There is something truly uplifting and enchanting about the geometry. I now live 3 miles due Sth of Malmesbury. There is something truly special about this land. Thanks for a fascinating insight.

    They moved Tristan's gravestone - for a bus shelter?
    This is not the only desecration of an ancient monument - for the sake of modern 'conveniences' that I've heard about in recent times.
    There would be fury if someone suggested moving Brompton Cemetary or Westminster Abbey to accommodate a supermarket, a car park, a flyover or train station, so why is it any different if we are talking of an ancient and famous figure of British historical literature?
    What was wrong with shifting the bus shelter along the road a little bit further?
    This is how ancient history becomes confused over time, and why modern archaeologists are left bereft of important evidence when Mediaeval (and later) builders carelessly move and lose important stones connected to ancient monuments.
    It makes me wonder just what else local and national governments are prepared to destroy and lose before someone puts a stop to it.

      what is wrong with people ? where is the respect for our ancestors ? How would those councillors feel if I just picked up their tombstones and reset them somewhere else - the significance is that it MARKS a PLACE FFS. "Here lies..." except that he doesn't anymore... he's effectively lost .

    • @jasoncox7257
      @jasoncox7257 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      Strongly agree. In a village near me (Ashwell) they found a stone circle. Archeologists looked at it for a couple of weeks and they carried on building a few houses on top. Very little said, nothing on the news. I bet if someone collected all the history we are losing now, in modern times, it would make shocking reading.

    King Mark had many castles as he was , after all , the King of Cornwall. I did a similar exercise when working in Cornwall in the early 90s after dismissing my local town of Colchester for the same reason. I however arrived at the Castle An Dinas ( " Castle of Castles " or the Main or Senior Castles - in Cornish)at Bodmin ( " The Place of the Wise Men " in Cornish ) which is on the River Camel of course , a safe haven for ships , and 200 miles from Anglesey , without making landfall in Pembrokeshire.

I wonder (maybe its coming in the vid but ive stopped here to comment) - if you continue the E/W line from maiden into Isle of Wight you look like you come to the needles...also if you do a S/N line form Maiden - you go stright into Portland which had a TOTALLY different people living upon it - and recorded as so right up and untill the 1600s - and they lived in beehive stone houses and so so many megaliths were there that are now lost - I think you will like (betcha already cover this in your vid - ok back to it!! ) thankyou !

    Great video. Geometry is key to everything. Astrologers and priesthoods throughout history have used the geometry of planetary alignments and their cyclical nature to predict future events. Geometry is also applicable to timelines to show mirrored historical events. Certain Priesthoods believe used correctly, you can predict future events and, therefore, control and manipulate them. Geometry is a Mystery School subject I believe personally.

    I'm probably being a little pedantic but the mile in Roman times was 1618 yards it wasn't changed to 1760 yards (8 furlongs) until the 19th century. So in Roman times the mileage from N. Wales to Cornwall would have been about 222 miles

    Your channel arrived o my feed by supposed accident, I did no do any related search. it is a subject that I find highly interesting and I thank you for it. I have also subscribed as you cover things I find fascinating. It is a pity that more of our heritage is no taught properly in the school system, I've worked in it and had three children go through modern education. My only criticism is why do you use kilometres when you are talking about England where we sill use miles thankfully. I do appreciate that the metric system being base ten does make relative proportions easier to calculate. The imperial system I think was designed to confuse the masses, or perhaps I am just cynical.
    I visited Helston every year from 2003 to 2019 and I have always felt there was something that extra bit special about it. I'm hoping that I will get to return and visit its history freely. My visits before have not given me this opportunity. Church Cove at Gunwallloe was the beach we spent much of our time at and it always feel like going home which is strange as I was born very land locked within ten miles of the geographical centre of England in Meriden. Christmas Day myself and eldest are going to the coast though Cornwall in one day is not possible.

    Malmesbury Abbey's stained glass windows will be a sight to behold on Solstice morning. They have a high altar (?) in the West for winter solstice too. How charming. It's built on the points of the compass too so full on esoteric etheric energy manipulation and astrologic alignment in the building going on there.

    • @Kidderman2210
      @Kidderman2210 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I am afraid you're mistaken. As it happens, I visited Malmesbury a few days ago. There is no high altar in the west, and it is not even possible to see the small west window (depicting William of Malmesbury and Saint Aldhelm) from the nave as there is a creche there. The east window has of course long gone so worshippers now are faced with a stone wall. Perhaps you are thinking of another church?

      ​@Kidderman2210 unfortunately the alter has been removed as well as other significant features that were part of a knowledge that was hidden, destroyed by lightning or covered up in the time of the reformation.
      Even though such things have been destroyed, you can not escape the reason that the Catherdral was chosen, and that was the Earth Energy that lies in the ground.
      That can never be destroyed. The alignments that Malmesbury has are incredible. All you need is an OS map and a ruler.
      There are also many things left there to view such as the snake/dragons on the walls, in druid times this potentially could have represented the sun moving through the zodiac. The Sun and the Serpent.
      Malmsbury is a wonderful place, with energy that is electric.

    Is the takeaway from this telling us, that England has spiritual markers, physical markers in the landscape ,and has a natural stellar connection, which is translated into the topography of England, making it so very special? The physical link to the standing stones at Carnac is also telling, as is the similarity to Karnak in Egypt, in the discussion of the Golden ratio and the slope angle of the Pyramids.❤

    FYI: [I have been working with Google Earth for 20 years looking at alignments in SW france]. There is an straightforward way to draw a Great Circle (those curved lines) between any two points, First draw a triangle in WHITE with two points on the ends and the third about half way between but well off line. "Fill" the triangle with the colour you want the line to be . Turn the border off. Position the ends of the filling accurately and then move point three in until it is ON the line about mid-way along. Thats it. For exact N-S and E-W lines there is no need to do all this.
    When I do this I usually find the slight misses along the line disappear !! I typically find three sites say over a distance of 100Km where the third misses by less than 10m. I am convinced by my own work that the astronomers/ geometers 5000 years ago were every bit as good as we are now - if not better.
    I will be checking your work out using several techniques that I have developed to try to eliminate the possibility of random alignments (coincidences) and using great circles.

  • @MatthewHudson
    @MatthewHudson หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    some more alignments from this:
    Castle Dore -> Fur Tor (Dartmoor) -> Glastonbury Tor
    Castle Dore -> Pew Tor (nr. Kings Tor) (Dartmoor) -> Stonehenge
    Maiden Castle -> Stonehenge -> March (St. Wendreda's Church)
    Maiden Castle -> Pen y Fan -> Caer y Twr
    Pen y Fan is the highest peak in South Wales, situated in Brecon Beacons National Park. At 886 metres above sea-level, it is also the highest British peak south of Cadair Idris in Snowdonia. It is the highest point of the historic county of Brecknockshire
    For interest: the Castle Dore Summer Solstice (to St. Wendreda in March) alignment, goes over High Willhays, highest point on Dartmoor. Note that the exact E/W alignment from Maiden Castle also passes through High Willhays and ends very close to Tintagel as Howard mentioned...
    Also, for more interest West Littleton is nearly exactly halfway on the Dore-Wendreda line... on the same line it is also nearly half way between Malmesbery Abbey and Stanton Drew Stone Circle. Following a line from Caer y Twr through West Littleton, takes us close to Stonehenge to the center of a place known as Yardsbury Camp/Castle another ancient site.
    The pentagram....! Another interesting reference here links the following 4 sites with equidistance between them. Taking Caer y Twr as the center point, running a 204mile radius circle out, you hit (1) Castle Dore, (2) Maiden Castle and also (3) March, yet there is a potential mark which using equi-distance on the West Littleton line points the fourth point on the circle, (4) Calleva Atrebatum sitting just a little off the 204m radius line. This then hints at a 5 pointed star...

  • @stevebrooks9119
    @stevebrooks9119 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Any mention here of the translation of 'Castle Dore' being Castle Golden (d'or)...?? This could be a reference to the 'golden' light of the Summer solstice. Also, there are many local legends across the country of golden treasure being buried at Megalithic sites. This seems to have more to do with many of these sites being aligned to 'golden' soltice lines or the suggestion from some quarters that these sites are positioned on Leys or Ley lines or energy lines, the existence of which continues to be contentious. We have an old road near where I live in the Peak District named 'Ewrin Lane', believed to be a derivation relating to 'urine' and indicating that a urine stream can be seen to be 'golden' and a reference to the nature of the 'golden' pathways of the midsummer solstice... So perhaps 'Castle Dore' is indicative of a relationship with the 'golden solstice...

    If you stand on the top of California Hill at Dunstable, the midwinter sunset does a perfect "sun roll" down Halton Hill further down the Chilterns. If you follow that line you pass through Avebury, Glastonbury Tor and St Michael's Mount - the famous "Michael Line". "California" is supposed to derive from "cali fornu" - the Hill of Death. There are five tumuli in a line on top of the hill. I am using Ordnance Survey rhumb lines - not Great Circle.

    Veneti likely derives the romanisation of the Welsh word Gwenydd.
    First you have to substitute the modern Welsh alphabet with the alphabet of the time.
    W was a U, Y was sometimes and I, sometimes an E, DD was sometimes a D sometimes a T
    So Gwynedd would have been spelt one of the following ways
    Guined, Guinet, Guened, Guenet
    Now in Welsh you also have the soft mutation of the G which was to drop the G, so the soft mutated versions of the above would be
    Uined, Uinet, Uened, Uenet
    The Romans didn’t have a U letter, they depicted the U as a V so the Romans would have written those words as
    Vined, Vinet, Vened, Venet and ding ding we have a winner
    VENEDoti and VENETi, the i suffix being the Latin suffix to denote the plural nominative form of masculine nouns in the second declension.
    In Latin, second-declension masculine nouns typically have singular forms ending in -us or -er, with the plural nominative ending in -i
    Note the singular suffix being -er or -us
    When it comes to Venedoti, to account for the ot between the Vened and i, Welsh the Brython would have used the -ot suffix (-od using the modern alphabet) at the end of Guened to form the plural noun and the Romans not understanding it was already plural, added an i to the latinised version Venedot to get Venedoti
    We can use this Welsh to Roman process with another similar word, Gwener
    Gwener is the Welsh word for the planet Venus and Dydd Gwener is Friday
    Gwener using the alphabet at the time is Guener, the soft mutated version being Uener but in Latin this would become Vener or Venvs which is now Venus with the introduction of the U.
    The Romans used this Brythonic goddess as the depiction of Britannia, Britannia is essentially Venus, not the modern depiction of Britannia which is a 17th century revival of the Roman Britannia, but the original Roman depiction but that’s a whole other topic.
    The Welsh -er (or its variant -wr) typically creates a noun form, often an agent or performer of an action. In the case of Gwen (meaning fair, beautiful, pure, white), the suffix here would imply something like “the one who is beautiful, fair, pure” or “the one who embodies beauty, fairnes, pureness” based on the root Gwen.
    It emphasizes the role or characteristic of the root.
    Thus, in Welsh, the addition of -er retains the focus on the inherent quality of Gwen (fairness, beauty, purity), emphasizing an agent-like relationship or something that embodies that quality.

      I remember when I was a hippy back in the 90's, everyone was thinking this but it was debunked. There are so many more sites that Howard is saying about that you can draw a line almost anywhere. There are over 1300 strone circlesalone in the uk, and maiden castle is not one of them (its a earth work town / fort). The uk has about 200.000 monuments and most of them were made at completely different times from one another were made by different cultures. Good clickbait its still fun to watch.
      In what way would thes lines be good to anyone? Back then walking in a straight would have ended you up in a river or bog. They would have tried to stick to high ground like ridges and such.

    At the winter solstice, which was more important to the neolithic people than the summer solstice as demonstrated by the number of sites focussed on the North-East, the sun would always rise at the same position. The line of sight from the South-West tip to the North coast would be an annual repetition along that same line, since the precession of the equinoxes would have little noticeable effect even over many generations.
    The constancy of sacred sightlines are THUS A FUNCTION of repetitive sacred natural events and NOTHING to do with advanced geometry. I, therefore, confidently predict that there are other sacred sight line sites emanating across Britain that align with the winter solstice from each major geographic location of neolithic population. On the basis that people with mixed agriculture / hunter-gatherer lifestyles in rich ecologies would be taller than their agricultural brethren, that the height of some important individual in deep history was the origin of the Megalithic Rod, just as digits, palms and cubits were based on relevant body parts. Modern leftovers of this type of mensuration are the height of a horse in "hands" (four inches) and the "fathom" (six feet) fingertip to fingertip of the outstretched arms. In fact, thinking about it this latter could BE the Megalithic Rod!

Old Britton includes parts of franks. Lostwithiel (lions tail) the ancient stannery town of Kernow, just north of castle dore. To the East takes you to Duloe which has a little known in sight stone circle also a whole link of holy wells, mostly kinda hidden but still marked on maps. North through west Cornwall and into south Wales is Waun Mawn standing stones, the area around west of Crymych is the quarry lands of the blue stones (healing stones) of stone henge. Go east towards hay bluff another high place for the watch fires east onwards to tintern abbey. East on to Oxford watford Luton to colchester a bit north of Chelmsford . Cambridge anglesey abbey north to ely. Oh I’m just rambling on. The saxons throw out a few smokes screens, druids mainly consider Welch language Gwyned being part of wales was a very large part of the UK. And finally you get to the Wash. consider that our sunrise may not always be the sun that is watched. Orion rising Rigel or Sirius are is also marked to some of the temples adjacent to the main henges but still within the temple areas. Sirius rising for ancient Egyptians denoting the flood times of the Nile a new year if you will. Sirius follows Orion it’s a rebirth storey bright stars leave the sky and come back again at important times in the agriculture calender. The celestial drama plays out in the sky. Above is below.

    Camulodunum is south of Anglesey but not directly south!
    Camulodunum was the massive long hill fort of Cunobelin ‘King of the Britons’ (according to the Romans). Camulodunum (Colchester) has the River Colne and the Roman River protecting it on both sides with Gryme’s Dyke forming the defence barrier between the two rivers making sudden attack by chariots difficult or impossible.
    Anglesey is North West of Camulodunum.
    Camulodunum was the First official city in Britain. And the first British Roman Capita. Declared the City of Victory of Claudius, by the Romans and remained the Roman cultural centre of Britain including the largest chariot racing Circus outside of Italy. Camulodunum was the Rome of Roman Britain and had at least 4 theatres and the Temple of Claudius!
