nice first post Ct Scarlet....welcome to the forum.


mmmmmmmmmmmm Sirius....


that whole area....extending to Avebury and Silbury Hill etc is choc-a-bloc with mystery.

Have you heard about Silbury maybe being a white pyramid originally?

When I have more time I'm going to get my maps out and have a look at alignments with Dragon Hill and Silbury Hill.

Heh, if this PDF represents that 'theory', I wouldn't be bothered by it much:

Based on independent research following the publication of the book
Silbury Dawning: The Alien Visitor Gene Theory and new findings from
the English Heritage Silbury Hill Conservation Project 2007- 2008.

IMO, kind of stupid.. They want to take a piece of 3,000 art and make a modern addition to it. May as well start defacing other art to suit our wishes as well, blech. Mona Lisa mustache anyone?

I have to think that if the original carvers took the time to make something that has lasted so long, well if it was meant to have a horn they would have carved that in too, and it would have survived just as well as the rest of the carving has.

If these folks want a unicorn so bad.. Why don't they just take their money and find another hill to carve it into?

To me that would just be ruining it. I agree with rashore, if it was supposed to be a unicorn, it would be. Why can`t we just leave special things alone, and not try to change them

I think that the original Uffington Horse....may have been a stylized dragon...

There is hill very near it called Dragon Hill.

and it may have been put there to represent the natural electro-magnetic-(plasma?) energy lines that criss cross the

countryside (and the whole earth)

where to begin with you lott ??  FIRST  i will start with bee .  it is called dragon hill  for a reason . and that reason is that it is the said place that st george himself slay the dragon . the legend says the grass and vegetation where he slay the dragon  did not grow again .

SECONDLY  the shape and figure of the horse has been speculated to have changed over the years for a reason . and that is that natural growth and vegetation can  bury it in a matter of decades leaving it unseen to the eye and buried below dirt .  THERE HAS TO BE an UPKEEP  for the horse to be seen . this is  and was done  once a year  by my people for  thousands of years .

THIRD .  it is also  the place where king alfred  who was one of the last true kings of england in the 800,s fought off saxon invaders . after summoning an army with the blowing stone  AKA  the rock of england (research that it will blow your  minds )      ALSO   when you talk about the oxford mail u must know that the very university of oxford  was put into place by none other THAN KING ALFRED  he was the first to establish education for his people . with his learning centers he put into place

this is nothing but a small glimpse . a single sentence from a extensive library that is english history .

you should  also know that on may day and summer soltice and other special ceremonial and spiritual days throughout the year that were later adapted by dirty christians and intergrated by our people .  were all celebrated at the white horse  . these practices continued late into the 1700,s  

these people were my ancestors . and i will not have people bending truth for fiction, fantasy,fun .

there was no aliens there was no unicorn there was no bigfoot on my land .

but dragons ?  ask me about those  another day

have a good day  .

And that was on Dragon Hill, right. Not where the Horse is layed out?

So, you are saying it is definately a horse? Not a dragon?

So, it seems you are agreeing with the people who are saying it is not a unicorn, and that it would be wrong to change it? So why did you quote them and seem like you wanted to correct them? Just curious....

Given the demographics of this place, those people were probably the ancestors of most posters.
Mine were native Britons.

Hmm interesting - they are also my ancestors, but I will draw your attention to:

The blowing stone is nothing more than a legend, so not sure where you get your 'truth' from, what is the likelyhood of a king who's lung capacity was so massive that he could blow this stone and create a loud enough noise that attracted the local villagers to fight the viking invaders - indeed a king who according to legend had health problems for all his adult life and someone whom it has been suggested may have suffered from Crohns Disease - seems more likely to be 'fantasy', something which you seem to be against?

I also wanted to point out that it was actually VIKING invaders that Alfred fought off - the Danes had been attacking England from 868 to 880 when the Viking leader was surrounded and sued for peace and wasforceably baptised as a Christian by Alfred along with 29 of his leaders.

You seem bent on twisting any discussion into a discussion about evolution. You must have nightmares about Darwin and evolution, lol.

I still haven't seen an explanation why this 'horse' resembles a running (wild)cat in many ways. It has a long slender body, it has whiskers (or fangs if you like), very UNlike a horse. Well, I had an explanation... just turn back a page.

Abramelin, on 27 December 2011 - 06:36 PM, said:

Lol, then those things would be really huge lips.Man, the Uffington horse looks nothing like a horse.

Either the socalled 'repairs' throughout the ages destroyed the original horse-image beyond recognition, or it was never meant to depict a horse.

I didn't want to post it in the "Oera Linda" thread, but it could be one of Freya's cats (she drove a carriage pulled by cats). In that thread I tried to explain that one of the alternative names for the 'Heel Stone' (in Stonehenge), 'Freya's He-ol' is nothing but 'Freya's Hall' or Sessrumnir, an alternative name some Nordic gave to Stonehenge.



.

The above is a illustration of a Prime Hindu Goddess called Durga riding on her favoured vehicle which can be a tiger or a lion (two cats).
Whats your take on the Freya,Durga and Celtic-Vedic connections?

Man, you're fast, lol.

Well, I'd say it was one of Freya's cats, and knowing how the Nordics called Stonehenge, it seems plausible.

But I don't think it is very plausible people from India travelled all the way to England to carve out that cat.

If you mean the shared imagery has some meaning, I'd say no; Freya drove a carriage pulled by cats, Durga sat on one (or two). But sure, it could be true they were connected somehow.

Would that change what we know about the "Uffington Horse"?

Ofcourse Indians didn't go out all the way and carved the horse and returned to India.Was talking about cultural migrations and transfers.
"Uffigton Cat" you mean by your own suggestion,yes it would as the Celtic Druid culture and the Vedic culture share quite a lot so if this horse/unicorn is actually a cat it can help to draw more similes in a way that is suggested by my previous post.
And i think you are too quick to dismiss the shared imagery,both were using cats as a mode of transport (the illustration of Durga riding a tiger is not absolute,scriptures only suggest that the tiger/lion was her vehicle and could have been attached to a cart i.e 'Vahana')

correct .

also .the legend of the blowing stone exists  .  but so does  the blowing stone itself


the word dragon  was more recently replaced by the word dinosaur . dragons lingered on strained ever tapering branches until there was no more dra-un. for one man to kill a single dragon on his own was a great feat

Not only Freya used a carriage pulled by cats, so did Cybele and Rhea:

Rhea only appears in Greek art from the 4th century BC, when her iconography draws on that of Cybele; the two are therefore often indistinguishable;[10] both can be shown on a throne flanked by lions or on a chariot drawn by two lions. In Roman religion, her counterpart Cybele was Magna Mater deorum Idaea, who was brought to Rome and was identified in Roman mythology as an ancestral Trojan deity. On a functional level, Rhea was thought equivalent to Roman Ops or Opis.

Most often Rhea's symbol is a pair of lions, the ones that pulled her celestial chariot and were seen often, rampant, one on either side of the gateways through the walls to many cities in the ancient world. The one at Mycenae is most characteristic, with the lions placed on either side of a pillar that symbolizes the goddess.

http://en.wikipedia....hea_(mythology)


Cybele play /ˈsɪbɨliː/ (Phrygian: Matar Kubileya/Kubeleya "Kubeleyan Mother", perhaps "Mountain Mother"; Lydian Kuvava; Greek: Κυβέλη Kybele, Κυβήβη Kybebe, Κύβελις Kybelis), was an originally Anatolian mother goddess. Little is known of her oldest Anatolian cults, other than her association with mountains, hawks and lions. She may have been Phrygia's State deity; her Phrygian cult was adopted and adapted by Greek colonists of Asia Minor, and spread from there to mainland Greece and its more distant western colonies from around the 6th century BCE.

In Greece, Cybele met with a mixed reception. She was partially assimilated to aspects of the Earth-goddess Gaia, her Minoan equivalent Rhea, and the Corn-Mother goddess Demeter. Some city-states, notably Athens, evoked her as a protector but her most celebrated Greek rites and processions show her as an essentially foreign, exotic mystery-goddess, who arrives in a lion-drawn chariot to the accompaniment of wild music, wine, and a disorderly, ecstatic following.

I see much more resemblance between Freya and Rhea/Cybele than between Frey and Durga
