Hi Kayleigh. I enjoyed your video and this area is very dear to my heart. I attended the festivals you mentioned from 1977 through to 1984. I couldn't help thinking at the time that maybe those ancestors who originally erected the Stones would be pleased that people were still using them as a meeting place and somewhere for a celebration on the summer solstice all these years later. The fields on the other side of the now-removed A344 became a tent city for anything up to a month and we were told at the time there were around 60,000 people attending at the busiest times. There was a wonderful atmosphere at the festivals with plenty of live music and I always came away feeling somehow renewed. The first four years I attended the festival I was a soldier stationed at an army airfield called Netheravon on the next hill over from Larkhill, so I got to party at the Stones in the evening and then fly over them during the day in a helicopter. That was a great way to see the whole landscape. As you said in your video, access is still allowed at the solstices but visitors are shepherded in and out by police and security personnel. The wonderful relaxed atmosphere is absent and it is far more crowded and noisy among the Stones than it used to be. I feel privileged to have been able to be there at such a magical time.
It’s infuriating that the grim discovery of Woodhenge was left at risk, before modern techniques were developed. This is the clearest account of Woodhenge I’ve ever come across. You’ve got a new fan
You are very sweet Kayleigh and your pronunciation of foreign names and places is very impressive. I live 6 miles from Stonehenge, and the small City of Salisbury is just a few miles down the road. You are entirely forgiven for your rendering of this English places name, many town names are spelt in a certain way BUT not pronounced as you might think. For instance, Leicester is pronounced Lester; East Hoathley, a small village (in Sussex) is actually pronounced "Hoad-ee-lie" as 3 words, thats the Anglo-Saxon for you! But back to Salisbury - in Roman times it was (mostly) spelt SORVIODUNUM and the "V" probably being said as a "B". The dry, windy and cold Iron Age hilltop with its Norman Castle and Cathedral was vacated finally in 1225 and the city of New Salisbury was settled on the Bishops fields a mile distant down by the River Avon. The spelling "Salisbury" was only 'fixed' by around the 1600's, prior to that people would spell/write it as they heard it and to a degree how they heard it is how it is pronounced now, the actual spelling is a gentrified rendering. So it is said as - SAWLS-BREE.
This video, along with other videos about Woodhenge and discoveries around the Stonehenge, deserves more views, because these discoveries illustrate that the Stonehenge was built by sophisticated tribesmen around their habitat, not just cavemen in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately I speculate that the vast majority of the general public still thinks the Stonehenge was built by either aliens or giants, so they never bothered to learn.
Lovely video. Very informative, and it's not very far from where I live. I don't know where I stand on the argument for and against the "tunnel" having sat in the legendary tail backs on the A303 and now missing A344 often in my past. The other options are just as bad, which I'm not going into here. Wiltshire's problem is, we have so many ancient monuments, and we are even now still using "barrows" for the internment of people's ashes (that's where I'm going). In future videos would you consider doing one on Avebury stones and Silbury hill (barrow) really close together and in Wiltshire please.
Great video, very informative. I have seen other videos describing this area, but none of them went into as much detail about the different phases and stages of construction. I was amazed at how long of a period the construction took. A few thousand years is a long time to continuously work on any project. Great video, Kayleigh!
Hi Kayleigh Well done!! Great description of this iconic site. Originally we are from the UK and I do remember the time when you could go up to the stones. My last visit was around the time they opened.the visitors centre. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when they manhandled 25 and 50 ton stones into place. Love your episodes, keep up the great work! David🇨🇦 PS. Check with a British friend of yours on the correct pronunciation of the river Avon😀😀
Also in the area are Avebury stone circle, which has a village within it, Silbury Hill ( we still do not know why it was built and West Kennet Long Barrow. A magical landscape, un-equalled anywhere in the world
@@HistoryWithKayleigh I think the best way to grow, at this stage, is through cross pollination... I found you through Jahannah... and I found Jahannah through Bright Insight. Problem is, you're handling topics which contradict the mainstream narrative... although, that narrative is so embarrassingly misleading (especially Egyptian history) that even the likes of Zahi Hawass find it hard to hold back the laughter when spinning it. Let's face it, the mainstream can't even get history of the last 100 years correct... with living memory, film archive and eyewitnesses testimony 😉 😎 !
@@HistoryWithKayleigh I was right about the cross pollination, Kayleigh 😇 You do deserve the boost though... your content and research is exceptional quality... you'll be well past your New Year subs target 👍
Question. If you make a bigger hole, how old was the original hole that was replaced ? 14:16 Durrington shafts 864m radius = 34,015" The Aubrey holes have 56 pits and the diameter of those aubrey holes is 1125" / sin(3/56x360) = 3406.210" For the significance of 225" in regards to the enclosure tumuli, bank and ditches, see Petrie on Stonehenge. With the aubrey hole radius as 1 cubit, the center lines across 4 specific Aubrey columns = 1125", while 'Stretching the cord' around them provides 1166" width of a rectangle. i.e Inner worked faces of the Sarsen circle and lintels. Closed tube as pan pipes have 1/4th their wavelength and C0 = 800" wavelength (Infrasound) Closed tube do not provide 'even' sub harmonics (octaves) with the fundamental ....only 'odd' ones. The ring of semitones comprised of 56 major tones and 40 minor tones from 25/8" C8 at 13,333"/s as a start point that incorporates octaves 0 through 7. Hence a 96 foot Diameter Geodetic Greek Ring = 1 Hekatompedon in romano-egyptian scale using 25/8th as Pi for a 3600" ring. Hence Shen ring (later Cartouche) with diameter bar and coiled rope numerical value 100, that was used as 100 solar days march diameter at 1 passus/s. With the Eratosthenes Earth, the Greek stade of 252,000 stade of 300 cubit of 144/7" = 6250" rather than the 250,000 x 300 cubit of 21" of Eratosthenes. The Heel stones circle diameter is 1 stade. The 250/80" Avenue banking and 450/144" enclosure banking of stonehenge also represent wavelengths (Especially harmonics). The Trilithons give a clue with their height and the outer diameter of the Sarsen lintels. Of special significance is the 32' solar diameter of the sun or 1/675th of a circle and the 24 part day/year It becomes the node of the trilithon, the avenue bank ditch and the enclosure bank ditch. You now have enough pieces from me to create a vivid picture of technical sohpistication, that mainstream academia could not even begin to comprehend, let alone acknowledge.
Now this I have visited ...It is more impressive when seen up close and it feels unworldly ...building this must have been a major project and all credit to them..
It absolutely had to been a major project, the sheer size of the stones is incredible. You're lucky you have been able to visit it 🤗 I hope to visit one day🥰
Stonehenge is disappointing when you’re quite close to it. An old boss of mine, a veteran of the 14th Army, would have used it for hard-core (land-fill). Then you get inside and things start to happen - the universe explodes around you!
Where's the kitties?!? The Stonehenge landscape is absolutely amazing. If you had a person standing on Silbury Hill with a brightly colored flag, or something similar, it can be seen from Durrington, Woodhenge, Stonehenge, the Larkhill site and every other site on the Plains. It seems the entire area was some type of ceremonial or large gathering site that needed coordination for some reason. It seems pretty clear there is much more to the Salisbury Plains than we know, or remember. Graham Hancock has called us 'a.species with amnesia'...it would appear he is right. Otherwise, we would know how, and why, Stonehenge, the pyramids, Angkor Wat, Gobekli Tepe and hundreds (thousands?) of other sites were built. Really enjoyed your presentation of this remarkable landscape. Can't wait for more! ✌💖😸
Thank you, I agree with Graham Hancock, we've forgotten our history ☺️ The kitties will come back in the future. But due to home renovations I need to film in a separate room for now 🤗
@@HistoryWithKayleigh I recently 'discovered' Graham Hancock and his geologist friend, (I think his first name is Russell?) and I feel they are on the right path with the ancient high end civilization that got wiped off the Earth. That's a whole other can o'worms as some would say. Good fortune with your renovation work, as it can be frustrating with noise and dust. Looking forward to seeing the kitties again. Yeah...I'm the type to remember your pets' names before yours. 😁 Hope to hear your take on Gobekli Tepe, and maybe some of the other newer finds, like Nevali Chori and other sites in that geographic area. Our forbears were incredible people. ✌💖😸
Definitely will be taking a look at a lot of middle eastern locations of monuments 🤗 and Malta, they have a lot of ancient stuff as well. Just need to take a lot of time for correct pronunciations and research 🥰

I was near there in 2000. My Lady Friend drove us down from Oxford. She was tired. We got there late in the afternoon and decided to visit Salisbury Cathedral instead. I am sad I did not get to visit Stonehenge. But Salisbury Cathedral is historic & interesting too! (It holds one of the original copies of the Magna Carta.)
Thank you for another excellent and informative video! I have to say I'm disappointed to find that portions of the site have been developed and farmed since the beginning of the 20th Century - you would hope that by then, we would have recognized the importance of such sites. And I'm appalled to think that road/tunnel plans contemporary to this year are still being considered - at the peril of this site. Thanks for the explanation of the connection between henges and the river - I was wondering why a causeway to the river was needed. There are many of us who aren't archaeologists or anthropologists that nonetheless have the same questions - "Who are we really, and where did we come from?" Once we cross the line into prehistory, some real thinking is required to speculate what those answers might be. Your series does a very good job in making the scientific information easily understandable for those of us who are not scientists but interested and curious. Many of us grew up with fascination for the obvious - in my time, the Pyramids of Egypt and the Temple of King Solomon - ( I am 63) but it's exciting to have new information about civilizations elsewhere that predate the period. Great work, thanks for your generosity!
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am not a scholar or archaeologist. I didn't study for this, but I spend the past few years looking into the stone age and I couldn't help but wanting to dive deeper into the factual evidence from that time period. These structures are the remnants our ancestors left behind, so they became my focus. The new video is almost finished, it will be up within 16 hours, we're going to look into the step pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara and the funerary complex surrounding it. the 1992 Cairo earthquake damaged the pyramid, and in 2006 they started working on renovations. to think that 14 years of renovations went by before it opened to the public again last March. 🤗
Great work!! 2 things - move the mic closer to your mouth and soft furnishings in your room to get rid of the roomy echoy sound! LOVE. The history though, great research :)
Thank you, I have to make do with the room I currently film in, I can't change anything in it.. but I'll try to remove some of the echo in audacity next time 🤗 🥰
History with Kayleigh i wouldn’t try to remove it with audicity - you might make it sound weird in other ways! 😂 The echo comes from sound bouncing off hard surfaces. So lots of rugs, carpets and wall hangings will work. Then if you put your mic right upto your mouth it wont “hear” any of the echos. Part of watching one of your videos is enjoying the sound of your voice so id make sure that you spend as much time on it as your great research! And as everyone keeps saying - well done for a treat start to a channel 😍
6:25 River Avon (pronounced ay-von) is similiar to the Welsh "afon" and the Irish "abhainn" and means "river" in those languages. So you've the River River! :'D
Aaaah thank you! I must do more research on the pronunciations still, at least that is clear to me 🤣 I'll try and nail all pronunciations in the next one🤭🤗
It's crazy to see you so tame! I'm glad I saw this one now cuz wow to how far you have come. This one is informative but it's not really you is it? So glad you broke the yoke of the cue card and started using your right brain to dictate the flow of presentation in a spontaneous current that contrasts the blinders that muzzles the impetus in this video . I'm gonna use this one to put on as background when I can't seem to find slumber. I just wish I had a copy that didn't get interrupted by commercials though.
I think that Stonehenge should be rebuilt with the original stones still in the rebuild. It has a significant importance for the Planet, "Mother Earth"
2:10 075m in diameter. Would be interested to know if that diameter was closer to 30" Great cubit of 1.5 barley cubits, or 31.25" as 1.5 Geodetic Greek cubits of 144/7". Reporting massive lengths with no tolerance is problematic.
WHY mortise and tenon on top of verticals?? Huge stones do NOT need that. Their weight holds them. Lots of time and energy to make them. Only if there is lateral forces anticipated would one need to lock the top pieces to the lintels...
i was one of the people that got beaten up by police in 84 . stonehenge stolen by the queen ! it was a great festival the avon ,so important in the history of the place,but who care today ? its a tourist attraction, a new money park ! domage ,ihad 5years good time ! battle of the beanfield, pffff! destruction of a subculture, yes ! njoylife
Sorry to hear they took that away from you, I'm sad to see the ropes and people not being able to touch the stones 😟 Must've been one hell of an experience being there in the inner circle 🥰
So whats fantastic about this place? A pile of rubble from what they guess is 4500 years ago? 4500 years ago the build pyramids! So what is special about these stoneblocks that where reconstructed in early 1900s?
It's not just Stonehenge, and the video shows that the surrounding landscape is was makes this area so unique.. for over a thousand years they've build monuments, each done by a new generation of prehistoric societies

It's crazy to see you so tame! I'm glad I saw this one now cuz wow to how far you have come. This one is informative but it's not really you is it? So glad you broke the yoke of the cue card and started using your right brain to dictate the flow of presentation in a spontaneous current that contrasts the blinders that muzzles the impetus in this video . I'm gonna use this one to put on as background when I can't seem to find slumber. I just wish I had a copy that didn't get interrupted by commercials though.
I think that Stonehenge should be rebuilt with the original stones still in the rebuild. It has a significant importance for the Planet, "Mother Earth"

075m in diameter.
Would be interested to know if that diameter was closer to 30" Great cubit of 1.5 barley cubits, or 31.25" as 1.5 Geodetic Greek cubits of 144/7".
Reporting massive lengths with no tolerance is problematic.
WHY mortise and tenon on top of verticals?? Huge stones do NOT need that. Their weight holds them. Lots of time and energy to make them. Only if there is lateral forces anticipated would one need to lock the top pieces to the lintels...
Why 63 cremations and not 56 ?
Another clue in regards to the acoustic and optical spectrum.
FYI: "Avon" means "River." So "the River Avon" means "The River River."
Yeah I've heard that from some of my English friends after i uploaded haha 🤗
You should suggest they put a road arroundit and stay away completely !!!

So whats fantastic about this place? A pile of rubble from what they guess is 4500 years ago?
4500 years ago the build pyramids! So what is special about these stoneblocks that where reconstructed in early 1900s?
It's not just Stonehenge, and the video shows that the surrounding landscape is was makes this area so unique.. for over a thousand years they've build monuments, each done by a new generation of prehistoric societies
