The megaliths of Stonehenge:

Sarsens of Stonehenge, the largest of which weighs over 40 tons and 24 meters increases were usually come from quarries 25 miles north of Salisbury Plain and transported with the help of slides and ropes; You may have even been distributed in the neighborhood, as the first Neolithic monument architects are breaking ground. The smaller blue stones, on the other hand, have been all the way to the Preseli mountains of Wales, about 200 miles due from Stonehenge. So how has prehistoric farmers without demanding engineering tools or in these rocks, which can weigh up to 4 tons, over such a long distance?

According to a theory for a long time, the builders of Stonehenge patterned rollers slide and tree trunks loaded with blue stones from the Preseli Hills. Boulders on rafts and floated first on the coast of Wales and then transfer the Avon River on Salisbury Plain; alternatively, they may each stone to be towed with a fleet of ships. Recent hypotheses need to transport the blue stones with supersized wicker baskets or a combination of ball bearings, long grooved boards and cattle.

Already in the 1970s, geologists were added their voices to the debate on how Stonehenge was built. Defying the classic image of the hard-working young Steinbauer slide, karting, bowling or transport the steep blue stones from distant Wales, some scientists have suggested that the glacier, no people, most of the hard work done. The world with huge rock like boulders, the known, dotted over long distances by ice floes were carried out. Perhaps Stonehenge mammoth plates are cut from the Preseli Hills by glaciers during the ice ages and within walking distance deposited, at least relatively, of Salisbury Plain. Most archaeologists cool glacial theory, however, was wondering how the forces of nature could possibly be the exact number of stones needed to be given to close the circle.

Who built Stonehenge?:

According to the writer of the 12th century, Geoffrey of Monmouth, the story of King Arthur and mythical history of English history is as far applies to the Middle Ages, Stonehenge is the work of Merlin. In the middle of the fifth century history, hundreds of British nobles were massacred by the Saxons and buried in Salisbury Plain. In the hope of building a monument to the fallen subjects, sent King Ambrosius aureoles an army to Ireland, known to recover a stone circle as a ring of giants who had built the old giants of magical African blue stones. The soldiers successfully defeated the Irish, but not to move the stones, so Merlin used his magic to the mind by the sea and makes it available to the mass grave. Legend has it that Ambrose and his brother Uther, the father of King Arthur are buried there.

Although many believed the story of Monmouth, the true story of the creation of Stonehenge to be for centuries, the monument earlier build Merlin-or at least the real numbers that tell him several thousand years, inspired. Other first hypothesis behind its construction the Saxons, Danes, Romans, Greeks and Egyptians. In the 17th century archaeologist John Aubrey made the claim that Stonehenge was the work of the most important Celtic priests, like the Druids, a theory was extensively excavated by the antiquarian William Stukeley, the primitive graves in the area is popularly known. Even today, people still gather at Stonehenge for the summer solstice who identify themselves as modern Druids. In the middle of the 20th century, radiocarbon dating showed, however, that Stonehenge granting more than 1,000 years before the Celts inhabited the area, removing the old Druids of the race.

Many modern historians and archaeologists agree that several different tribes of people contributed, Stonehenge, each a different phase of construction designation. The bone, tools and other items found at the site appear to support this hypothesis. In the first phase was achieved by the Neolithic agrarian were probably originally from the British Isles. Later, it is assumed groups with advanced tools and common forms of life have left their mark on the website. Some have suggested that they were immigrants from Europe, but many scientists believe that native Britons were descendants of the builders.

GOBEKLI TEPE [THE OLDEST TEMPLE IN THE WORLD]

noreply@blogger.com (cHILL bLUEZ) — Thu, 19 Feb 2015 04:38:00 +0000

Welcome to the presentation of the The World’s First Temple, Gobekli tepe … a pre-historic site, about 15 km away from the city of Sanliurfa, Southeastern Turkiye. What makes Gobekli tepe unique in its class is the date it was built, which is roughly twelve thousand years ago, circa 10,000 BC.

Archaeologically categorised as a site of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A Period (c. 9600–7300 BC) Göbeklitepe is a series of mainly circular and oval-shaped structures set on the top of a hill. Excavations began in 1995 by Prof. Klaus Schmidt with the help of the German Archeological Institute. There is archeological proof that these installations were not used for domestic use, but predominantly for ritual or religous purposes. Subsequently it became apparent that Gobeklitepe consists of not only one, but many of such stone age temples. Furthermore, both excavations and geo magnetic results revealed that there are at least 20 installations, which in archeological terms can be called a temple. Based on what has been unearthed so far, the pattern principle seems to be that there are two huge monumental pillars in the center of each installation, surrounded by enclosures and walls, featuring more pillars in those set-ups.

All pillars are T-shaped with heights changing from 3 to 6 meters. Archeologists interpret those T-shapes as stylized human beings, mainly because of the depiction of human extremities that appear on some of the pillars. What also appears on these mystical rock statues, are carvings of animals as well as abstract symbols, sometimes picturing a combination of scenes.

Foxes, snakes, wild boars, cranes, wild ducks are most common. Most of these were carved into the flat surfaces of these pillars. Then again, we also come across some three-dimensional sculptures, in shape of a predator depicting a lion, descending on the side of a T-pillar.

The unique method used for the preservation of Gobeklitepe has really been the key to the survival of this amazing site. Whoever built this magnificent monument, made sure of its survival along thousands of years, by simply backfilling the various sites and burying them deep under, by using an incredible amount of material and all these led to an excellent preservation.

Each T-shaped pillar varies between 40 to 60 tonnes, leaving us scratching our heads as to how on earth they accomplished such a monumental feat. In a time when even simple hand tools were hard to come by, how did they get these stone blocks there, and how did they erect them? With no settlement or society to speak of, with farming still a far cry away, in a world of only roaming hunter-gatherers, the complexity and developed blueprints of these temples represented another enigma for archeologists. Do we have to change our vision of how and when civilized human history began? The plot thickens..

GUILIN, CHINA....

little info:

China (ⁱ/ˈtʃaɪnə/; Chinese: 中国; pinyin: Zhōngguó), officially the People's Republic of China, is a sovereign state located in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of over 1.35 billion. The PRC is a single-party state governed by the Communist Party, with its seat of government in the capital city of Beijing. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four direct-controlled municipalities(Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau). The PRC also claims Taiwan – which is controlled by the Republic of China (ROC), a separate political entity – as its 23rd province, a claim which is controversial due to the complex political status of Taiwan.

Covering approximately 9.6 million square kilometers, China is the world's second-largest country by land area, and either the third or fourth-largest by total area, depending on the method of measurement. China's landscape is vast and diverse, ranging from forest steppes and the Gobiand Taklamakan deserts in the arid north to subtropical forests in the wetter south. The Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir and Tian Shan mountain ranges separate China from South and Central Asia. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the third- and sixth-longest in the world, run from the Tibetan Plateau to the densely populated eastern seaboard. China's coastline along the Pacific Ocean is 14,500 kilometres (9,000 mi) long, and is bounded by the Bohai, Yellow, East and South China Seas.

The ancient Chinese civilization – one of the world's earliest – flourished in the fertile basin of the Yellow River in the North China Plain. For millennia, China's political system was based on hereditary monarchies, known as dynasties, beginning with the semi-mythological Xia of the Yellow River basin (c. 2000 BCE). Since 221 BCE, when the Qin Dynasty first conquered several states to form a Chinese empire, the country has expanded, fractured and been reformed numerous times. The Republic of China (ROC) overthrew the last dynasty in 1911, and ruled the Chinese mainland until 1949. After the defeat of the Empire of Japan in World War II, the Communist Party defeated the nationalist Kuomintang in mainland China and established the People's Republic of China in Beijing on 1 October 1949, while the Kuomintang relocated the ROC government to its present capital of Taipei.

Since the introduction of economic reforms in 1978, China has become one of the world's fastest-growing major economies. As of 2013, it is the world's second-largest economy by both nominal total GDP and purchasing power parity (PPP), and is also the world's largest exporter and importer of goods. China is a recognized nuclear weapons state and has the world's largest standing army, with the second-largest defense budget.The PRC has been a United Nations member since 1971, when it replaced the ROC as a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council. China is also a member of numerous formal and informal multilateral organizations, including the WTO, APEC, BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the BCIM and the G-20. China is a regional power within Asia and has been characterized as a potential superpower by a number of commentators.

India (ⁱ/ˈɪndiə/), officially the Republic of India (Bharat Ganrajya), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, thesecond-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west; China,Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Burma and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and theMaldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.

Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four world religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also helped shape the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked bynon-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.

The Indian economy is the world's eleventh-largest by nominal GDP and third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India became one of the fastest-growing major economies; it is considered a newly industrialised country. However, it continues to face the challenges of poverty, corruption, malnutrition, inadequate public healthcare, and terrorism. A nuclear weapons state and aregional power, it has the third-largest standing army in the world and ranks eighth in military expenditure among nations. India is a federal constitutional republic governed under a parliamentary system consisting of 28 states and 7 union territories. India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and a multi-ethnic society.
