Wider World of Stonehenge: Long Distance Connections and Winter Solstice Festivals
(July 2, 2022) The first stage of Stonehenge and Bluehenge down at the Avon river were built around 3,100 BCE. The last stage of Stonehenge with its famous large sarsen stone stones was built around 2500 just prior to the Indo-European (Bell Beaker culture) invasion of Britain. After the invasion, Bluehenge was dismantled yet Stonehenge continued to be used to celebrate the winter Solstice for another 1000 years.

The Mysterious Object Found in a Prehistoric Burial Site
(May 16, 2024) A good report by History Hit on the 5,000-year-old stone drum discovered within an ancient children's burial site. This was displayed as part of the "World of Stonehenge" exhibition at the British Museum.
The drum was found on a country estate near the village of Burton Agnes in East Yorkshire, England, in 2015 when a routine excavation had to be carried out so the owners could erect a structure.
This video shows it on display in the British Museum exhibition and provides a good view of the back showing either Druid concentric circles or Druid Spirals arranged in a 2 x 4 grid. Concentric circles represent the motion powers of the heavenly bodies, specifically the celestial light powers of the goddess Selu/Selene. Druid spirals, on the other hand, when arranged in either a 2 x 3 or 2 x 4 grid represent the clustered divine powers of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm.
