Follow on Google News | 2000 Year Old Celtic Art Treasures Discovered in British Landscape!Maverick explorer of Celtic history finds hidden land sculptures from the ancient Britons. GoogleEarth reveals a world of heritage that was formerly impossible to see!
Announcing the discovery of ancient artworks, 2,000 year old giant land sculptures shown on a brand new websit. Using GoogleEarth, a researcher of Celtic Britain found amazing landscape sculptures visible only at great heights, like Peru's Nazca Lines. Richard Darlow's new e-book demonstrates ancient Britain's giant landscape sculptures, which is available at the website. At the site you can see the Giant Somerset Lady, named 'The Cadbury Giantess'. Her rear hair-bob is made up of Cadbury Castle, the late Bronze Age hill-fort - so the construction of one must have coincided with the landscaping of the other. Dating both to around 1000 bc. This sculpture may represent Ceridwen, the Celtic Moon goddess. The high forces of nature, Sun and Moon, were harnessed to protect the people and the land. In early times, Zeus the Cloud Thunderer was master of the rains. To him blessings were given to bring rainfall, yet not so much as to cause flooding. In ancient Britain this power passed onto the Cloud Dragon, and traditional images of this supernatural beast were crafted into the British landscape. St George's story represents pagan religion, where mythical dragons were praised. In return for sacrifices, the dragon supplied rain a-plenty for crops. The monster's only appetite was a fair maiden each year, or a virgin princess for a really good year! A ceremonial rite - no virgin was slain, no dragon ate the maiden, they were mythic creations. St George symbolizes the suppression of the Arthurian Dragon cult of Britain. Celtic art sculptures by ancient landscapers were 5-10 miles in length. They shaped fields; added shade to land ridges by laying trees; developed earthworks to mark out characteristics; At ground level the Uffington Smaug's head just looks like a disturbed surface. From 2,500 feet it is like Smaug from Tolkien's Hobbit - next to the 3,000 year old famous White Dragon (which most call a horse). Archaeologists dated this chalk figure to 1000 bc. It marks the land sculpture of the Uffington Smaug, which is also therefore some 3,000 years old. The website will evolve a deeper appreciation of these Celtic creations. For sale is an e-book to download, with articles and colour photos featuring 20 ancient land sculptures. http://www.ancientbritaingiantlandsculptures.co.uk British folklore often reveals the ancient context of these landscape sculptures. For instance, a West Sussex land dragon was known as the legendary "Arundel Knucker". In East Sussex, the author presents the land giant that was marked by the world famous Long Man of Wilmington. The mystery of Dorset's rude Cerne Abbas Giant is also finally now solved. British sculptures appear in magnificent forms as giants, dragons, horses, bears & even pigs! Such land features lay in England's Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Gloucstershire, Derbyshire & also in Wales. Ancient Britain's land sculptures are publicised at http://www.ancientbritaingiantlandsculptures.co.uk Ancient Britain's Land Sculptures - The Long Lost Legacy of the Celts by Richard Darlow. £15. The website will study this brand new ancient phenomenon, whose story is only now beginning once again… End
