Have scientists found evidence of ancient Pagan moon rituals?
|
UNITED KINGDOM — New findings revealed this week suggest that ancient monuments in Britain could have been used for night-time, perhaps moonlit, ceremonies. Dr Andy Jones, principal archaeologist with the Cornwall Archaeological Unit, has produced a paper for the archaeology journal Time And Mind, detailing those findings. These discoveries relate to the site of Hendraburnick Quoit located in Hendraburnick Down, near Davidstow in northern Cornwall and close to Bodmin Moor. A quoit is a large, flat stone which is used to cover a dolmen or tomb, and the site of this quoit dates back to the late Neolithic (4000 – 6000 years ago). It is debatable whether it is part of a long barrow or a naturally occurring feature.
