Early Celtic 'Stonehenge' discovered in Germany's Black Forest
- fennecfoxen 15y agoThey've also got some snazzy henges on the east coast of the US (New Hampshire or thereabouts) if you're interested.
- Jun8 15y ago"Whereas Stonehenge was orientated towards the sun, the more then 100 meter width burial mound of Magdalenenberg was focused towards the moon." Reminded me the fact that in most languages (e.g. Italian, French) "sun" is masculine and "moon" is feminine whereas in German it's the other way around (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_gender http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_gender). I know Latin-Greek mythology assigned a female moon goddess but I'm not familiar with Germanic mythology. Could this be why they the two structures are oriented differently?
- hvs 15y agoI have no idea about the answer to your question, but in Norse mythology, the Sun (Sunna) is female and the Moon (Mani) is male.
