Something different in rock history...
Stone Age builders had engineering savvy, finds study of 6000-year-old monument
A survey of the Dolmen of Menga suggests that the stone tomb’s Neolithic builders had an understanding of science.

One of our self-funded films is ‘ #Narmada, the #eternal #river’. Originating at #Amarkantak in #MadhyaPradesh, the #River-Narmada flows for about 1300 kilometers from east to west through the gorge between the Vindhya and the Satpura mountain ranges and merges into the sea near Khambat Sagar at Gadurreswar in #Gujarat.
This valley was formed by the struggle of active land parts of the #Precambrian era, along with the remains of primitive sea creatures and #dinosaurs.
For this reason, the Narmada has been considered the #oldest river in #India.
Along with the evidence of the presence of early #StoneAge #humans in the #caves of the valley, the continuous presence of numerous ancient #Sanatana sites situated on the banks of the river narrates the story of the continuous cooperation of this river in the development of India.
In this short documentary, made under the guidance of Shri Samanand Ji from the Saptmatrika temple of #Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, we have tried to showcase the enigmatic story of this eternal river from the geological, anthropological, and cultural points of view.
More importantly, the video is an informative and spiritual look at the Narmada River, one of the most #sacred rivers in India. The video begins with a montage of images of the river, from its source in the Vindhya Mountains to its confluence with the Arabian Sea. The voiceover then introduces the river's history and significance and discusses its importance to the cultures of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.
The video then goes on to explore the river's natural beauty, from its lush forests to its pristine waterfalls. A few original audio tracks and numbers make this video more attractive. The video also features interviews with people who live along the river and share their stories and insights about the river's importance to their lives. Insights shared by some spiritually accomplished personalities enhanced the knowledge value of the video.
The video also unfolds the importance of Narmada Parikrama, which is a spiritual journey that involves the circumambulation of the Narmada River, a 3000-kilometre route, on foot, leaving behind all belongings and economic means! The #journey is said to be a way to cleanse oneself of sin and attain #moksha, or #liberation.
The short documentary had been selected for official screening at the Mahakaushal Short & #Documentary #Film Festival and later was awarded the best documentary award upon its showcasing at the Shaheed Smarak Auditorium, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, on 18th December, #2022!

#Stoneage #airport vs #internet
We’re gonna bomb Yemen back to the Stone Age, which will set them back about two weeks.
Yemen will cut Internet cables if airport gets attacked.
I am not sure, but that would set us back about 50 years and could make us very hungry,
Gefühl ist alles - 5000 Jahre sind Schall und Rauch.

Gefühl ist alles;
5000 Jahre sind Schall und Rauch,
Umnebelnd Himmelsglut.
#FaustByGoethe, Vers 3456 - 3458
Feeling is all;
5000 years are sound and smoke,
beclouding Heaven’s glow.

Le sentiment est tout,
5000 ans ne sont que bruit et fumée,
qui nous voile l’éclat des cieux.

Der Himmel über dem Hasenberg.

Auf dem #Hasenberg, einer 4 km vom #Wartberg entfernten und zwischen den Fritzlarer Stadtteilen #Haddamar, #Lohne und #Züschen gelegenen 304 m hohen #Basaltkuppe, befand sich eine späte jungsteinzeitliche Höhensiedlung, die der #Wartberg-Kultur zugeordnet wird. Gefunden wurden insbesondere Pfeilspitzen, die im Regionalmuseum in #Fritzlar ausgestellt sind. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasenberg_(Lohne)
Der #Hoheberg, 2100m vom Hasenberg entfernt und 376 m hoch:

COMET #ZTF HAS ARRIVED: It only took 50,000 years. During the #StoneAge, faraway Comet ZTF (C/2022 E3) began falling toward the inner solar system. Today it finally reached #Earth, only 0.28 AU away. This is what the comet looks like from point-blank range:
"There is a strong curved dust tail, a long blue ion tail, and a vivid green coma," says photographer Michael Jaeger of Weißenkirchen in der Wachau, Austria. "It's a beautiful comet."
The ensemble is now glowing with an integrated magnitude near +4.8. It is barely visible to the naked eye (at best, a faint smudge), but a terrific target for small telescopes. Northern observers are favored. The comet is racing through Camelopardalis (the Giraffe), a constellation near the Big Dipper and the North Star. The best time to look is during the dark hours between midnight and dawn after the Moon has set.

On a journey from our place to or from London, we pass #Stonehenge on the #A303 and the traffic is almost always jammed there as the site is of historical and archaeological importance. It is afforded #UNESCO #WorldHeritage status. As the weather war fine, I decided for an impromptu visit as the journey is not one I undertake very often and who know when the weather conditions would be this good again. There were actually hundreds if not thousands of tourists there comprising people of all ages and numerous nationalities. Many were happy like us to walk the roughly 2 km journey from the visitors' centre but shuttle buses were also going up and down the stretch of road. It's a little unfortunate that you can only get within about 50 m of the #monument but it's still impressive.
This is a view looking approximately north west.
This is looking roughly south west with the #Sun centred above the stones and the monument in silhouette.
