BALGORKAR
RECUMBENT STONE CIRCLE
KEMNAY
ABERDEENSHIRE
SCOTLAND
A FEW MILES SOUTH WEST OF KEMNAY AND OPPOSITE CASTLE FRASER IS AN EXCELLENT AND STUNNING RECUMBENT STONE CIRCLE, SITUATED ON PRIVATE LAND, THE SITE IS ALSO KNOWN AS CASTLE FRASER.
A POPULAR THOUGHT WITH THE RECUMBENT STONE CIRCLES IS A LINK WITH THE 18.61 YEAR LUNAR CYCLE AND THE SOUTHERN EXTREME MOONSET. THERE COULD ALSO BE A LINK WITH THE WINTER SOLSTICE WITH THE SUN SETTING IN THE SOUTH WEST.
THE FINE THREE STONE RECUMBENT SETTING IS ORIENTATED SOUT SOUTH WEST WHICH IS COMMON FOR THE STONE CIRCLES OF NORTH EAST SCOTLAND. THE RECUMBENT IS 2.3M LONG BY 1.5M TALL, IT IS CUP MARKED AND HAS AN EVEN SUMMIT TOWARDS THE HILL OF FARE
THE FLANKERS ARE 2.5M AND 2.7M HIGH. THE EAST FLANKER RESEMBLES THE SHAPE OF OTHER STONES FOUND AT MACHRIE MOOR AND CALLANISH. THIS MAY BE A HAG OR CRONE STONE, SYMBOLISING THE WISE OLD WOMAN.
IT IS LIKELY EIGHT STANDING STONES ORIGINALLY MADE UP THE CIRCLE OUT WITH THE THREE STONE RECUMBENT SETTING. FOUR OF THESE MEGALITHS STILL STAND WITH THREE IN THE EAST ARC AND ONE IN NORTH WEST. THERE IS A GAP IN THE NORTH EAST WITH NO TRACE OF ANY STONE.
THE CIRCLE IS JUST OVER 20M IN DIAMETER AND MADE UP OF PINK AND GREY GRANITE STONES, THE HIGHEST BEING AROUND 2M. THE NORTH WEST STANDING STONE IS POSSIBLY FEMALE WITH ITS POINTED TRIANGULAR SHAPE. QUARTZITE WAS ALSO FOUND AT THE CIRCLE.
THE STONE NEXT TO THE EAST FLANKER HAS A VAGINA LIKE CAVITY AT ITS BASE, THIS COULD BE NATURAL OR MAY REPRESENT FEMALE SYMBOLISM. THE FALLEN STONE NEXT TO THE WEST FLANKER IS CUP MARKED. SHERDS OF A LARGE URN WERE ALSO FOUND AROUND THIS STONE.
TO THE NORTH WEST FROM BALGORKAR, MITHER TAP IS IN VIEW BUT NOW OBSCURED BY TREES. THIS FEMALE BREAST SHAPED HILL WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR ANCIENT ANCESTORS AND WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE CIRCLE. PERHAPS BALGORKAR IS A FEMALE RING.
TWO GREY GRANITE OUTLINER STONES SURVIVE JUST UNDER 300M FROM THE CIRCLE. THE PURPOSE OF THESE MEGALITHS ARE UNCERTAIN BUT A POPULAR THEORY IS A PROCESSIONAL RITUAL AVENUE TOWARDS THE CIRCLE. THE STONES ARE 15M APART AND JUST OVER 2M HIGH. THE NORTH EAST STONE IS SPECKLED WITH QUARTZ.
CHARLES DALRYMPLE FOUND EVIDENCE THE SITE HAD BEEN LEVELLED BEFORE ERECTION AND A RING CAIRN WITH A 4M DIAMETER CENTRAL COURT. A COLLECTION OF ARTEFACTS FROM HIS EXCAVATION WERE FOUND IN 2003, IN THE CASTLE FRASER COLLECTION, THESE FINDS WERE THOUGHT TO BE LOST.
THE EXCAVATION DATE WAS 3RD SEPTEMBER 1856. THE FINDS WERE THREE SHERDS OF FLAT RIMMED WARE FROM THE LATE BRONZE AGE, A LARGE NUMBER OF PIECES OF DAUB WITH WATTLE IMPRESSIONS AND TWO FRAGMENTS OF CHARCOAL, ONE RAPPER WAS LABELLED BONES BUT NO SKELETAL REMAINS WERE FOUND.
THE EARLIEST RECORD IS A DEPICTION BY ALEXANDER LAW FROM 1788. IN 1829 JAMES LOGAN SAID THERE ORIGINALLY CONSISTED OF ELEVEN STONES WHICH NINE REMAINED. BY 1900 F.R COLES SAID SEVEN STONES REMAINED STANDING. ALEXANDER THOM MEASURED A TRUE CIRCLE WHILE VISITING IN 1955. DURING CULTIVATION IN 2002 ANOTHER STONE WAS KNOCKED OVER AND SPLIT IN TWO.
A BIG THANKS TO OUR ANCIENT ANCESTORS.

8_Mary Unveils the Apocalypse: Pergamum
Taking Mary’s cue, and our knowledge gained from archaeological findings of the ancient churches of Asia, we proceed to discover the identity of today’s Apocalyptic “Church of Pergamum.” Here we will discover Communism “where Satan has his throne” and how the sin of Balaam is perpetrated today, and how Hitler used the altar of Pergamum as the model for his “pulpit” to preach the Final Solution and all the ideals of Nazism.

*******************************************************************
The remains of a 6,000-year-old dwelling have been uncovered in a field near Kilmarnock, Scotland, during pipeline upgrade works carried out by Scottish Water.
Archaeologists from GUARD, who were observing the pipeline excavations, found a number of post-holes dating back to the early Neolithic period (4,000 - 3,500 BC) that once formed part of a rectangular building belonging. It is thought to have belonged to one of the earliest farming communities in Scotland.The width and depth of these post-holes indicated that they once held very large upright timber posts, suggesting that this building was once a large house, probably home to an extended family or group of families.
The archaeologists also noted eight other sites of interest, including some prehistoric burnt pits and mounds.
Before the Neolithic period, Scotland was inhabited by small groups of hunter-gatherers who lived nomadic lives, living off the land. But during the early Neolithic, the first communities to adopt sedentary lifestyles began to emerge. They cleared areas of forest, establishing farms and growing crops such as wheat and barley, as well as raising livestock like pigs, sheep, cattle and goats.
The pottery recovered from the Neolithic house are shards of carinated bowl, one of the earliest types of pottery vessels ever to be used in Britain, Green said. Traces of milk fat have been found in other carinated bowls found elsewhere in Scotland.
With further analysis of pottery and environmental samples taken from the site, the archaeologists may be able tell the precise date the house was occupied, providing more insights into the history of early farming settlements in Neolithic Scotland.
Andrew Grant, an environmental adviser for Scottish Water, said: As part of the project planning, Scottish Water identified the possibility of archaeology and so factored in time for the area to be excavated.
However, the discoveries are even more significant than we had expected and we are delighted that, with the archaeologists' help and expertise, we have been able to uncover something of such importance.
