I do not know whether you have ever visited any of these monuments from around the world, but they all have the power to overwhelm you with their monumental size, and the fact that they were made without any of the aids we take for granted today.<br />So pleased that you enjoyed the post. Hopefully one day you will make a visit to Stonehenge.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-78902878795876014142012-05-28T21:26:42.382+01:002012-05-28T21:26:42.382+01:00I have always been intrigued with the actuality th...I have always been intrigued with the actuality that there are huge stone monuments around the world. There are pyramids in Asia, South America, Mexico, and Egypt. Here in the southern US there are large burial mounds like you have pictured. Many parts of the world have stone designs on the ground that cover many miles and can only be appreciated fully from the air. The Ancients knew about seasons and the sun effects on the earth in the western US and built monuments as you described to mark the passages of yearly events. It is like these different cultures were told of the same things to do but were given different although similar blueprints to come to the same results.<br /><br />It is truly amazing.<br /><br />Wonderful post, as usual, and about a place I would love to visit.<br /><br />Yours, JoeShadowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879739015781190186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-60936618244071979552012-03-10T10:28:29.011+00:002012-03-10T10:28:29.011+00:00Dear Mette - That was my first visit to Stonehenge...Dear Mette - That was my first visit to Stonehenge.
