What impulse in the human spirit has, for millennia, caused us to paint cave walls, pile stones, carve, build, engineer, plan, craft and construct monuments to the invisible and unknown?
Why are some places set apart and worthy of our greatest efforts and accomplishment? What makes one site sacred and another a garbage heap? Every culture on the planet has a tradition of sacred spaces and spiritual places and when we encounter them we resonate in harmony with the energies we find there.
This intriguing lecture will include sites in Bali, England, France, Eastern Europe, Hawaii, America, Egypt, the Sinai and the Holy Land. Topics will include geomancy and earth energies, sacred architecture and geometry, solar and stellar alignments, psychology, spirituality, religion, the alchemy of travel, quantum mechanics and some fascinating new discoveries about the science and psychology of Sacred Places.
Please join Greg Roach, founder of Spirit Quest Tours, for an entertaining and compelling tour with beautiful pictures and fascinating details.

Strange Acoustic Properties Discovered in Stonehenge

Posted on Jan 28th, 2009 by descended master : trying to remember descended master

By ANDY WHELAN

STONEHENGE was built as a dance arena for prehistoric raves, a university professor believes.

 

Dr Rupert Till, who is also a part-time DJ, carried out experiments that he says showed the 5,000-year-old stone circle is ideal for listening to “trance” music.

 

Archaeologists have argued for decades over the Wiltshire Neolithic monument’s purpose.

 

But Dr Till, an expert in sound technology at Huddersfield University, West Yorks, believes the stones have perfect acoustics for repetitive rhythms like those used in some dance music.

 

He tested the effect using a computer model of Stonehenge and during a visit to a concrete replica built in Washington State, US.

 

And he came to the conclusion that ancient Britons shaped the stones to create special sounds.

 

He said: “The results were interesting. The stones are all curved and reflect sound perfectly.

 

“We reproduced the sound of someone speaking or clapping in Stonehenge 5,000 years ago.

 

“It is clear that Stonehenge did have a very unusual sound.

 

“We managed to get the whole space to resonate, almost like a wine glass will ring if you run a finger round it.

 

“While that was happening a simple drum beat sounded incredibly dramatic. It felt special.”

 

The music theory ties in with existing ideas that Stonehenge was used for healing rituals or to worship the dead.

The Mystery at Denderah

Posted on Nov 28th, 2006 by descended master : trying to remember descended master
Egypt_photos_460
I've been talking to a friend of mine about the crypts at Dendarah (http://www.spirit-of-place.com/dendarah/index.html). It's pretty mind-bending stuff. But first, maybe a little background is in order? I've been traveling to Egypt since 1998, and for the last several years we've started leading groups. We have a trip coming up in February (http://www.SpiritQuestTours.com) and I've been doing some podcasts to promote the trip. With the latest show, I added a page with some pictures and info from the crypts at Dendarah. In upper Egypt there's a temple dedicated to Hathor at Dendarah. It's a remarkable site. While the current temple is Ptolemaic (i.e. very late in Egyptian history) it's built on, and contains, elements from much, much earlier. This temple contains several interesting things: the world's first Zodiac (a bas-relief ceiling carving, the original of which is now in France), graffiti from Napoleon's troops, and a number hidden crypts - the most interesting of which contain some pretty startling images. My friend feels that "lizard being" represents the Egyptian frog goddess Heqet - but I don't buy that for a number of reasons. For one thing, the carving clearly shows a male (or, at least, non-female) being. You can see more at: http://www.Spirit-Of-Place.com/dendarah/index.html Or hear the show at: http://www.spirit-of-place.com/B2036951301/index.html Peace G
