Description
This will be the first of a series of images depicting some of the mythological historical places that have interested me in Great Britain
West Kennet Long Barrow is one of the many prehistoric monuments that are part of the Avebury complex of Neolithic sites. It is one of the most impressive and well-preserved burial chambers in Britain, as well as being one of the most visited. Opposite across the valley you can see Silbury hill the highest man made mounds in Europe over 130 feet (image to come)

What great depth to this awesome image. I feel I can just walk in there. Excellent. V
Sure to be a great series! Look forward to it.
Wow, interesting facts,I love to know such things!!! thanks for sharing this... ;)
Interesting story. It reminds me of the burial chambers we have here (in the Netherlands) in the North of our country called 'hunebedden'. They also were used as burial chambers and about 100 still remain.
Wow Indeed this is a very interesting story Looking forward to more images Vote n hugs Susan~
Incredible piece of history... most have taken years and years to build... Love that you took the time to include that much information with the picture... THANKS...!!!!!!!!!!! V

By the 'Avebury Circle' you do mean Stonehenge,don't you?I find this subject fascinating and went to similar sites when I visited Scotland last summer.Thanks for all the interesting info.I look forward to your series.
Quite and ominous looking entrance here..don't know if I would want to go in...Nice work here Danny! Aloha!
such an impressive image, very interesting words, I look forward to your series
No Marlene Avebury are another ring of stones in fact several rings within rings and spread over a much larger area than Stonehenge date back at least to 2500 BC
Touching the dead is one of the ways Gentiles differ from Jews. The distance is so great now that there is no going back. No issues arise except supposed curses in superstitions of the Middle East. What peoples these were meanders.
Wonderful capture here Danny!! Well done!!

Great Danny ! that's the beginning of a very interesting trip with you in the past. The constructions about this period are often incredible, and it's fantastic to could have information about how lived the humans at this period. I like this shot and the perspective, as if we was entering in this tomb with you. I'm going in Finland for 8 days, then... I'll see your shots when I came back. If I not froze here ;o))))) Take care of you my friend. Hugs.
