A short meditational portrait of Belas Knap set to music with no voice over or narrative.
This is a 4K remaster of an earlier version originally published in October 2018.
Belas Knap Long Barrow, is near Winchcombe in Gloucestershire. The barrow was probably constructed around 3000 BC and was used for successive burials over a period of years until eventually the burial chambers were deliberately blocked.
Opinion differs as to the reason for the false portal. It may have been to deter robbers, although little in the way of value has been found in undisturbed tomb chambers. Alternatively, it could be that the false entrance functioned as a ‘spirit door’, intended to allow the dead to come and go and partake of offerings brought to the tomb by their descendants.
Production: MICHAEL BOTT
Music: "Prelude" by This Patch of Sky from the Artlist music library.
