Wisdomkeepers Of Stonehenge
Reveals how Stonehenge was an extraordinary astronomical calendar used
in the cultivation of ingredients for long-forgotten botanical cures
•
Explores how Stonehenge and other stone circles were ancient healing
sanctuaries and celestial calculators for the preparation of natural
medicines
• Explains how the megalithic priesthood--and their
successors, the Druids--developed astonishing memory techniques to
preserve knowledge over generations
• Draws upon the very latest discoveries from recent archaeological excavations and overlooked historical source material
Stonehenge
is just one of thousands of stone circles erected throughout Britain
and Ireland for over three millennia from 3,000 BC on. How did this
building tradition survive for so long, over such a large area and with
such complexity and uniformity, when the people of the British Isles
lived in separate, isolated communities and left no evidence of a
central leadership or obvious communication network?
Graham
Phillips argues that these stone circles are evidence of an astonishing
system of healthcare and preservation of ancient medical knowledge that
held together a society scattered across the British Isles. With stones
aligned to the sun, moon, and certain stars, these ancient monuments
enabled the precise timings necessary for the cultivation of medicinal
plants. He explains how the megalithic priesthood possessed medical
knowledge well beyond their time and may even have discovered a cure for
cancer. Furthermore, because they had no form of writing, the
megalithic people developed phenomenal memory techniques to preserve
their knowledge over many generations, resulting in a class of
wisdomkeepers that were not only healers but the living libraries of
their culture.
Drawing upon the latest discoveries from recent
archaeological excavations and overlooked historical source material,
Phillips reveals that the megalithic culture survived far longer than
previously thought and that the people who held it together were an
enigmatic shamanic sect ultimately called the Druids. Uncovering the
secrets of ancient megalithic culture and the purpose of their enigmatic
stone circles, Phillips contends that all the evidence has now been
gathered to unlock the secrets encoded in the stones--and perhaps
discover remedies for diseases still uncured by modern medicine today.
