Those, i think, have more meaning than ley lines, as so many things can be made to line up if you want them to.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-47703539760214351542013-11-12T18:21:26.059+00:002013-11-12T18:21:26.059+00:00CJ, how fascinating.

I do think there are far more things than are dreamt of in our philosophies, and it's fun to hear about some of them.

The phrase was coined in 1921 by the amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins, in his books Early British Trackways and The Old Straight Track. He sought to identify ancient trackways in the British landscape. Watkins later developed theories that these alignments were created for ease of overland trekking by line-of-sight navigation during neolithic times, and had persisted in the landscape over millennia.<br /><br />In 1969 the writer John Michell revived the term "ley lines", associating it with spiritual and mystical theories about alignments of land forms, drawing on the Chinese concept of feng shui. He believed that a mystical network of ley lines existed across Britain.<br /><br />Since the publication of Michell's book, the spiritualised version of the concept has been adopted by other authors and applied to landscapes in many places around the world. Both versions of the theory have been criticised on the grounds that a random distribution of a sufficient number of points will inevitably create "alignments".Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-15472073891265408112013-11-12T13:29:06.954+00:002013-11-12T13:29:06.954+00:00What an intriguing place!

I wonder if the angle of this Ley Line is at twenty three and a bit degrees to the equator. It could explain why it is at an angle. Those Angles weren't daft. A bit daft maybe dragging rocks from Wales to Stonehenge.<br />It was a good holiday you had.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.com
