What's the meaning of Stonehenge? I Curator's Corner S4 Ep1  

This curator is so nice. Keep up the good work; one of my dreams is visiting the British Museum, so I absolutely enjoy all these videos.

I enjoyed this video so much that I turned the volume up to 11.

I visited the Stonehenge last year. It has this sophisticated “Interpretation Center” - so that you pay to see it and go through the huge gift shop - and all I learned was that nobody really knows anything about it. And this video confirms it LOL

Stonehenge, from a time when the UK traded with Europe.

Stonehenge could be a gathering place for all the tribes to come together... for religion, trade, festivities, all sorts of discussions and learning, strengthening bonds and vows between tribes.

I really enjoyed this. What a treat - thank you.

These people are so interesting and unique

These are all so much fun!

What's the meaning of Stonehenge? It's killing me that no one knows, why it was built 5000 years ago!

Very interesting! I've never heard about the carvings on the stones before

i visited both about 2000. thoroughly enjoyed the british museum... could spend weeks there. i always imagined the STONES to be much larger than they are in person though. still very very interesting. love this channel

Anyone else think of the Ylvis song?

I love your excitement.

Lovely video. I used to go to Stonehenge occasionally in the 1970s and 1980s when you could actually touch the stones and even sit on them. I visited again with an American cousin three years ago and the experience was underwhelming to say the least. It was no longer possible to get amongst the stones which meant it was like looking at Westminster Abbey (for example) from the outside only. A great shame. Yes, I understand that we want to preserve and conserve it but to the casual visitor it is a 'dead' monument and is kind of pickled at some point in the past 30 years. It's a pity you didn't mention the modern graffiti above the ancient dagger and axe carvings. Those carvings were maybe the graffiti of the day. Stonehenge somehow needs to be preserved as a living monument so that some sense of awe, wonder and romance remains. [ I'm not talking about 'mysticism'].

I’m disappointed that they did not mention the fact that what we see today is an educated guess that was reconstructed in the 1950’s. Many of these stones were tipped over and/or laying on the ground and crews came in and “put it back together”. While they very likely knew what they were doing and the rehab may be close to accurate - it should have been acknowledged in the video.

Have you all seen the British Time Team tv show and the excavation they did on StoneHenge? They uncovered a lot of of what was Stonehenge.

thx for that! Love the subject!

Wonderful presentation. I would love to visit one day, and to experience the PLACE .🙇🏻‍♀️

Fantastic! Please do more of these mini doco's on this area, I grew up in a village near Stone Henge! I love the stones, whenever I visit my solar plexus fairly sings!!

I only went on this video to see if someone would mention Ylvis in the comment section. I was not disappointed 😂

How did they build the stones so high? Even without the technologiiiiiie... ...We have todiiiiie?

Indeed, what *is* the meaning of the RECONSTRUCTION made by workers with heavy machinery around 1920? How do we know that the monument ever had the form that we recognize today, which is a 1920 artifact? Why do we spend time puzzling over something that may not ever have been the way it has been for the past 100 years? Is there anything published concerning how and why the 1920 team went about recording and validating the work that they did? I would surely like to know.

The carvings of the tools is very likely where they poured the metal for a new axe while it was being hewn from the stone. At least thats what it looks like to me.

big rocks innit

Stonehenge is an amazing place! I am so gad I had the opportunity to visit it in 2018! I hope one day I can go back for a new visit.

At least it's not in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

I heard it was either a giant granite birthday cake, or a prison that’s somewhat easy to escape from. If only I had a Honda Civic!?

Stonehenge was a hardware store something like lows or Home depot !!!? People would come from all around England to trade tools and seeds !!!?? And probably had a hot dog stand JUST in case you travel a long ways and starving !!! So yeah that's my version of Stonehenge . Greetings from LAS Vegas

People from all over the world turn up to gaze at a lump of rock in Mecca............... People , it seems have been turning up at lumps of rocks for ages.

Sorry, we finns just had some fun the summers 2495-2 BC. It's a circular sauna. Thanks for the upkeep celtic friends.

1:23 Didn’t find the Mold Cape in those barrows though, huh? 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Stonehenge! Where the demons dwell Where the banshees live and they do live well Stonehenge! Where a man's a man And the children dance to the Pipes of Pan

It was actually me. I invented time travel, went back in time, and built Stonehenge just to mess with all of you :) But all jokes aside, I would love to go there someday; I find it fascinating. Stonehenge and the British Museum. Greetings from the USA!

There is a connected "Wood Hendge" associated, with a trackway. The Woodhendge area was about life with evidence of some major feasts and parties. Surprised they didn't mention it here, interesting enough to look up

When I went there as a kid they let you go in and walk through the stones. When I took my kids back there, it was fenced off. I think the meaning of Stonehenge was to let it sit there beckoning all humankind, and test which generation would put a fence around it. Thanks boomers. You did it again.

The meaning of Stonehenge is to sustain an industry dedicated to endlessly concocting more myths about it. Bean going on for thousands of years now.

can't get over bringing stones from Wales..

interesting - but - what is the meaning of Stonehenge?

How they installation the stone ?

Even the stone henge is vandalized

I recently heard a theory about those round "artifacts" were actually a component to the device used to transport the stones to their present location. A kind of ball baring?

Great hashtag joke!

Pity Highways England and English Heritage think shaving a few minutes of a car trip is more important than anything we can learn from the surrounding landscape.

I thought we had already figured out it was an excuse for a twice a year BOINK FEST??? We don't want those genetics back in the small village to get too close together.

The Truth is - Stonehenge is a ruin of a Magnificent Building!

10 points to whoever posts a link to the song.

2:55 maybe stonehenge was just the world's oldest quidditch arena

Who's idea was it to do Stonehenge?

Ancient Astronaut theorists say Yes

Duncan built Stonehenge.

Where the moon doth rise with a dragon's face.

6:25 when the editor forgets to embed a link

I hate when they title a video as thought they are going to have information to answer a question and they never answer the question!

beaker B/S

" reaction to things that are about to come." ? What? Mmm.

Strange he didn’t mention the fact that Merlin built Stonehenge with majick

Looks like the face of a watch

The video you all came here looking for. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mbyzgeee2mg.html

Why would Beaker people be attracted to Stonehenge ? ..There is no shortage of absurd rockery on mainland Europe .

That's not an axe, it's a 🍄! I would like to know the company's name that does the carbon dating? Who's in charge? Who funds them? These dates are incorrect I feel and there should be more transparency with these tests! Just a feeling!

How do you know for certain the stones haven't been reconfigured over time? The oldest images of stone henge are 150 years old and it's obvious the stones have been reconfigured since then.

This sounds really cool, until you realize that most of the stones where actually found toppled and scattered around only to be moved into place by SOME GUY in the 1920s with heavy machinery because he personally thought that's how the site was suppose to look. That would be like someone finger painting the inside of an Egyptian tomb because they thought that's what its suppose to look like. These "archeologist" of the 19th century had no respect for the history of the site, they just wanted to get famous for a discovery. Just look at all the countless hoaxes and fakes forged in the Victorian era for examples.

I thought you were the young Graham Hancock

I learned in school, that stone hendge was moved (stolen) from Ireland!.... Can you give it back please!!

Ylvis crying from distance

I thought Stonehenge is a replica as the original one was long gone??

axis or axes?? academics.

Bit of an odd title. It's like saying "what is the meaning of Birmingham?". It's nonsensical. "why was Stonehenge built?", "what was the porous of the Stonehenge complex?" either would have made a lot more sense.

Axes...or magic mushrooms......they've been eating magic mushrooms thinks I. They forgot to mention stone henge was completely rebuilt with mechanical excavators and cranes in the 20th century..... Nom nom nom magic mushrooms ........

You didn't really tell us the meaning.

Its a party place, obviously

Hypothetical Stonehenge narrative: the blue stones were seized as a trophy of war, and to circumvent revenge, they assembled a sacred circle of extreme size along with the blue stones at the new location.

So.. What's the meaning of stone henge then? 🤷‍♂️

Stone henge was just at the death of the Neolithic Farmer and Aryan invasion and takeover

go and ask Ylvis

First ?

So it wasn’t made in a fit of absent-mindedness.

Imagine placing you're self worth, or place in the world/ identity, on a set of 4000 year old rocks... sounds like the English are desperate to still feel special.

we all know its the druids portal to another dimension of pure natural balance, nice try

Not the meaning of Stonehenge. For academics you are very sloppy in your labeling practices.

we don't know. deal with it

5:50 is that fucking modern graffiti? some humans are shit

Not impressed wiltin Neil...it's fashionably appropriate with current mindsets but give it 25 years and we will see👎🚫👜😖

Its the place where king Arthur shall return and al england will be united

Disappointing stone henge is much much older the ruins were picked up and configured like that in the 1950s

Looking through the comments for Spinal Tap references. I am very disappointed.

Why do the British always say "Britain and Europe"? Britain is physically part of Europe, you know.

Don’t like the rambling. Want the answer to the question that’s in the name of the video.
