On the last day of my Road trip to Wiltshire among the megalithic monuments , I visit Avebury and explore the ancient mindset of why they did such things.

Hi will really enjoyed seeing you tour my old stomping ground in Wiltshire spent many happy days going around them all. I think it would be good for our generation to build something like avebury or stonehenge in our generation for future generations to visit and ponder on the reasons we built it. Fancy a big project

Hello Will from Newcastle "Geordie land" 😂 I only comment now and then. For me visiting ancient sites always makes me think how much more connected the ancient Britons not only to the land but to each other. I understand they would have had rivalry between tribes, but to create the monuments we see today they surely must have came together to achieve them. If only we had more reliable information on Druids and the peoples. Thanks. Have a Blessed Yule and i shall be pondering many things on the winter solstice while my fire pit burns. May the light return for all.

You've really fukin got me there,,, what made them/us decide to suddenly put so much effort and time and thought into doing that. I can't imagine it was too impress future people, so that leaves me with what event would be celebrated with moving huge stones, often into circles. Maybe witnesses of a meteorite landing... Unearthing flint or metals being produced by the heat... yeah I'm on one now will, cheers

Hi Will, very thought provoking! ''Of course they did''. I was just thinking, you know people always use land marks whether its the big house on the corner or a big old tree at the bend in the stream or an unusual rock. These people were thinking circles in relation to north east south and west the stars and numbers that had some relevance to them. Of course nobody know exactly. But like you said, to show off there dynamism of thinking and power, but also the inner world, there introspection and they would have got to know these stones so well. Like for instance someone might say,'' you know when the old curmudgeon stone on the north east at half moon sunset when it gets really pink from the sunset? That's the best time for hunting a particular game or planting a type of plant. Its amazing to imagine how familiar the stones would become to them how well they would get to know every nuance. Then I think about the stone napping for tools and how hard and intuitively won are the lessons in that. LOL I'm still learning that skill but but I'm making slooooooow gains man! Thanks!

I've been there many, many times. I've pondered the same questions as you, I think it was built as a social statement. A monumental site to empower surrounding tribal units.

Thank you for sharing your journey, your adventures. Oh to be ruled by Mother Earth again, instead of by the clock. After watching a number of your videos I now have a 12"x12" piece of thick leather for my leg, some pieces of antler, some copper rod, some large rounded rocks/pebbles that don't know they're hammer stones yet, and a big lump of flint. Maybe I'll record whatever happens

The first time I went to Avebury I felt completely at peace. I am from the states and have managed to get back there 3 more times and it still gives me that feeling. It is a special place.

The moving and placing of large stones could be a physical symbol of the strength of the community, called upon if needed. As well as other things.

They could have been united because it was logical in building a defendable garrison. With their stick village in the center. Two bowmen maybe 3, behind each standing stone would have clear shooting at attackers coming over the far berm and again out from the ditch wall. Just a thought.

We all love horse & cart, all have a bit of reverence for a steam engine, but they're no longer practical. Bell beaker smiths they say brought us out of the stone age. Perhaps the smiths built the first village at Avebury.
