How does our age respond to Stonehenge?A highlight of my tour is
what President Barack Obama felt about Stonehenge in his ever first
visit to Wales, and theres no doubt about it, Stonehenge is as
stunning as the pyramids in Egypt, whatever the main reason that
has moved on its builders to built such a glorious temple could
have been y no hay duda de ello puesto que al ser una mega
estructura mas antigua que la gran piramide de Egipto lo convierte
en un paraje de clase mundial digno de vistiar, y es que sus
constructores cuidaron muy bien las medidas para asombrar
generosamente a los visitantes. 200 Generaciones mas tarde
Stonehenge continua reuniendo a gente pero esta vez de todo el
mundo, e independientemente de creencias religiosas ha servido de
punto de encuentro para la celebracion de conciertos hasta la
llegada del solticios de veranos por parte de los neodruidas y
public en general, si, tal parece que que mientras pasens los
milenion las personas se intriga que nos reto e induce a la
investigacion constante.El no conocer para que fue construido nos
hace tenerle una admiracion mucho mas fuerte hoy en da y nos
inspira automaticamente a descubrir que hay detras de tan basta
construccion y pasaran los siglos y los siglos y este sentimiento
no variara puesto que el simple hecho de tratar de decodificar el
pasado nos lleva por un sinnmero de caminos, una tarea dificil para
los arqueologos puesto que no se cuenta de Fuentes escritas, algo
contradictorio para una sociedad muy bien estrcturada que pudo
hacerle possible este proyecto. De lo que si estamos seguros es que
se encontraban en su mejor momento, vivieron una Grecia Clasica en
el sentido de esplendor.Siendo posiblemente la megaestrcutra
monolitica que mas tiemmpo tardo en construirse (about 1000) su
cronologia nos ayuda a imaginarnos la evolucion de cuya sociedad
tuvo, de un arcaismo a un perfeccionamento. Y ese proceso continua
hasta nuestros dias, pero esta vez en lo inmaterial, lo
interpretamos de diferente manera y podemos darle diferentes uso,
desde lugar de entrenamiento por parte de las tropas de King George
V and Lord Kitchener visit Stonehenge, 1915, fuente de
inspiraciones de poemas y canciones, pasando por conciertos y
picnics al aire libre, hasta filmacin de pelculas y series de
televisin como Doctor Who.Stonehenge es como el parrque el que
todos quieren visitar, la pelcula que todos quieren mirar, la
cancin que todos quieren escuchar, la novela que todos quieren
leer, un regalo invaluable por parte de los antepasados, Baker
people y todas las personas involucradas en su construccin,
claramente ha estado en el centro del universoEl no saber para que
fue construdio nos invita a especular y darle nuestro propio
sginifacado y es essa trascendencia la que no ha dejado que el
monumento muera con el paso del tiempo,
Although, Even if, However, Rather than
How does our age respond to Stonehenge?A highlight of my tour is
what President Barack Obama manifest about Stonehenge in his first
visit to Wales, and theres no doubt about it. Why? Because
Stonehenge is as stunning as the pyramids in Egypt, even further is
more ancient than the great pyramid of Giza, and this makes of
Stonehenge a world-class place to visit and besides because its
builders took "good care of measures" to amaze visitors generously.
Nowadays surrounded of many questions but everyday less than
before, 200 generations after this monument continuous gathering
people but this time from around the world, regardless of their
beliefs, it has become a place with more life than ever. From
concerts to celebrating upcoming solstices by neo druids and public
in general it seems that this place will be delighting us for
hundred of years.
What delights us is also what keeps our whole attention in it.
For many archaeologists it has been totally a challenge the
undiscovered especially the Why it was built, an impossible mission
maybe for contemporary researchers but nothing at all for next
generations of archaeologists, the simply task of inquire about the
past can take us to countless conclusions, and it turns more
difficult to decode the past when you do not have a text reference
to decode, but there is a thing we are all sure about, is that
behind that vast monument there must be an complex society, from
the natives who started the first stage of the project to the
beaker culture, with both came a era of magnificence, a total Greek
Classicism
Stonehenge is the result of a process of over a thousand of
years of continuously hard working, it seems that people were in
their best moment to feel encouraged to work on this colossal
structure, that brought us a design from its archaic version till
its improvement in all the ways possible. This process is endless
because we are still improving it, but with the immaterial,
depending on our point of view, giving it our significance, our
use, for example lets remember the King Georges V troops training
on Salisbury Plain in 1915 or the poems and songs inspired in its
landscape, passing through concert and picnics outdoor, even
filming movies and TV series like Doctor Who.
Stonehenge has become the park everyone wants to visit, the
movie everyone wants to watch, the song everyone wants to listen
to, the book everyone wants to read, the archaeological settlement
that everyone wants to study, this is an invaluable gift from the
British ancestors to the world heritage, right now is at the centre
of the universe. Could be this their purpose for building such a
great monument of that measurement?
The Why has lead us to speculate and give it to Stonehenge our
own meaning and significance, and has not left the monument die
with the passage of time, fortunately theres more questions than
answers so I hope this journey among the time never reach its end
(in the good sense).
