Ideas of ritual stones

Piety and love make this eternal monument still living today

Stones are much more than Carnac and Stone Henge. In this electronic book I analyse all different kinds configurations with stones. In Ritual Age they were maybe made for "Following Her" and deciding the time. During Bronze and Iron Age it seems to be manifestos of their local World Order. In fact we have some folk memory about altar on Dal from about 300 AD indicating that Christianity reached our ancestors at that time.

Essentials

These essays are essential for understanding the ideas of megaliths. There is no magic or mystery in megaliths since they were made as claim for rational use as centre of the site and time ritual. Observe that all rock art sites could also be seen as a claim and ritual for the site. In Scandinavia they often occurs simultaneously.

NEW …Misunderstanding the Actic … the Jesuits in studied the Aborigines everywhere and in Sweden mostly 17^th century the priests. They di not know the culture and they did not know the language. The documentation is mostly their private vision about the primitive natives. My prime objections are about shaman and magic drum and the use of words like troll and spirit and seeing the supernatural I can not see as reality but fiction. The academic traditions conserve such rubbish views. The Samic drum mirrors the old Scandinavian World Order and that does not include troll.

West European megalith culture map … shows only the Atlant-European megaliths. The same culture extends at least to Moscow in east, Caucasus in south and Kola Peninsula in north including Russian Carelia. Even in Scandinavia they occurs in many places. But generally we should say they occurs all over the globe in smaller extend than in Europe

The oldest signs of calendars or following the time is at least 20000 years old. The file is about time symbolising and it is good to know the Ritual Age and it's myths since they are manifested in the stony monuments. This file is written as a reminder that we can see signs of abstract thinking and World Order long before the stone monuments.

Stones

Carnac close to the Morbihan bay in Bretagne gave a good fishing season in spring seven thousand years ago and I suppose it is so today too. The Table of Gods was surely overloaded when they kept kermesse every year. The passage grave of Gavrinis is maybe the oldest moon temple from around 4200 BC
