Episode Date: August 17, 2026

Stonehenge just got even more mysterious. In this episode, we explore the remarkable evidence that its massive Altar Stone originated hundreds of miles away in Scotland, raising new questions about how ancient builders transported it across Britain. We also dive into Stonehenge’s enduring mysteries—from its extraordinary engineering and astronomical alignments to its unusual acoustics, resonance, and theories surrounding the ancient knowledge and technology behind one of the world’s most enigmatic monuments.JOIN ME ON A TOUR

A ground of breaking discovery at Stonehenge has literally left scientists and archaeologist stunned. Now, new research reveals that the so-called altar stone, which is buried at the center of Stonehenge, and weighs approximately six and a half tons, and I should say it measures 16 feet long, that it was transported some 5,000 years ago, not from Wales, as previously believed, but from the northern coast of Scotland. This would be a distance of 400 plus miles away. Now, by analyzing crystals within the altar stone, scientists and geologists were able to prove

that it possessed a unique signature that matched only a very specific stone that was found, again, on this northeast corner of Scotland. Rob Ixer, an honorary senior research fellow at the University of College in London, stated that the astonishing find, quote, doesn't just alter what we think about Stonehenge, it alters what we think about the whole of the late Neolithic, end quote. Well, I am glad that Rob and many of his colleagues are coming to the conclusion that I and many other alternative history researchers have been shouting for years that the ancients were for,

far more advanced than we have been led to believe. To help put this point in perspective, consider Stonehenge's largest trillophons. These are the immense lintel-topped saracin stones that stand approximately 25 plus feet tall in weigh 40 tons. Again, if you're watching on a video, you're going to see footage of these massive lintels, trillophon. these things were transported from 16 miles away. Let that sink in for a minute. 16 miles away, these massive 40-ton colossal stones were transported. Now, 16 miles away, it might not seem far in our modern terms of thinking,

but 16 miles, that's like 15, 20 minutes away by car going 50 miles an hour. Yet the mainstream narrative would have us believe that somehow Neolithic ancient people with primitive tools somehow move these colossal stones 16 miles without the use of the wheel. Consider that. And now we have this sandstone altar stone that weighs six and a half tons. Again, that's clearly not close to 40 tons, but six and a half tons. but six and a half tons is still massive. And this thing is 16 feet long and it's four feet wide.

So this is still a massive stone, six and a half tons. And again, we are supposed to believe that primitive people with primitive tools somehow drug this monstrosity, the entire length of Britain, before the creation of the wheel. Again, how was this huge stone, six and a half tons, transported from the islands off the coast of Scotland onto the British mainland and then hauled overland all the way to the Salisbury Plain through dense forests and possibly even over mountains. Again, if it came overland the whole way, it was over mountains. How is this

possible unless the ancients were far more sophisticated than we know, even possessively. lost ancient technology. The point I am trying to make here is that these ancient engineers, I believe, in my humble opinion, were far more advanced than we know and that we have been led to believe. Author Andrew Collins states that this altar stone is perfectly aligned towards sunrise at the time of winter solstice and sunset at the time of the summer solstice. And although it lies flat on the ground now, it is likely that this stone once stood dead center at the middle of Stonehenge. And Andrew believes and even writes in his books that Stonehenge actually functioned in ages past as a sonic temple, that it represented the universe in stone, and that its

primary purpose was to generate sound and frequency, the sound of the universe. itself. Now, Andrew has found what appears to be ten-sided dodecied hedril geometry that is encoded into Stonehenge. You can literally see images of dodecahedron ten sides that overlays perfectly with Stonehenge. If you look at it from a bird's eye view, people have made this graphic. Now, Collins believes that the significance of this underlying geometry fits perfectly within Stonehenge's size and dimensions. So this geometry could not occur anywhere else other than this particular latitude. So this latitude was seen by the builders of Stonehenge as incredibly important. For example, Stonehenge was aligned around 3,000 BC towards where Orion set on the horizon.

the same point the sun sets at the time of the winter solstice. And so Andrew states how he believes that this whole site, with its alignments towards the sun and the moon and the recording of the eclipses, is meant to synchronize into cyclical times so that it can resonate with the universe as a whole. Here is the little 3D model of Stonehenge that I bought on my last trip to. England. I'll zoom in on the camera here so you can see it. I thought this was a very cool souvenir. And so you can see the different layers of Stonehenge and how this altar stone, although lying

flat now near the center there, would have once stood straight up in the very center. It's like Stonehenge is some type of giant megalithic musical instrument generating sound. on various frequencies. It's just, it's incredible to consider. Were the ancient engineers of Stonehenge actually trying to replicate the primordial frequency of creation? Something else to note is that the original ancient name for Stonehenge was the Giants Dance. And I highly recommend you get Hugh Newman's book,

The Giants of Stonehenge and Ancient Britain. Actually, Hugh Newman and Jim Vieira wrote this. And they go in depth on this topic also of the ancient secrets of Stonehenge and talk about the Giants' Dance. The legends connecting Stonehenge to Giants as crazy as that might sound. But more importantly, not to be missed in the Giants' Dance name is that the Giants Dance, again, hints at music. It hints at resonance at frequency.

In 1899, a famous English writer, a guy named Thomas Hardy, wrote, quote, if a gale of wind is blowing, the strange musical home emitted by Stonehenge can never be forgotten, end quote. So even in 1890, it was known. that Stonehenge was related to frequencies, to musical humming. Very interesting. And then there are also reports from present-day security guards, apparently, that even they hear strange sounds coming from the stones at night.

As Andrew states, these megalithic engineers had an incredible understanding of the cosmos, the universe, physics, and science. Andrew also points out that there are three mesolithic post holes that are located about a few hundred meters away from Stonehenge. And these post holes would have held massive 40-plus foot-tall wooden posts. Obviously, the posts are not there any longer, but there's modern-day archaeological markers marking these ancient post holes. Now, according to radiocarbon dating, these post holes date, get this, to approximately 7,000 to 8,000 BC.

You heard that right, 7,000 to 8,000 BC. The point is they predate Stonehenge by thousands of years. And the deeper point is that this is a massive, ancient, sacred landscape. Now I want to close this episode with some information from Maria Wheatley. She is author of the book, The Secret History of Stonehenge. But I noticed when news of this Stonehenge discovery broke, Maria put out a message on her personal Facebook. And she stated, quote, all the talk at the moment about the altar stone at Stonehenge

was brought from Northeast Scotland, but there's more. So in her book, the secret history of Stonehenge, Maria points out that there was originally two altar stones. Not one. There was two. One was light and one was dark. It was the yin and the yang, she says. So two come from afar. The missing one was stolen by King James, the first, and the Duke of Buckingham in 1624. and it was carted away to St. James Palace in London, literally stolen by royal decree. And Marie is seeking its current whereabouts. But the point is, the truth is, she says, there were two stones at the heart of Stonehenge, not one.

So thank you, Maria, for this incredible piece of information. But Maria writes about the long, headed civilization of a Britain, ancient Britain, this ethereal-looking humanoid race. Now, I want to read straight from our book. She says, quote, mainstream archaeology have largely dismissed the long-headed culture of ancient Britain. Even though Victorian archaeologists and anthropologist meticulously took measurements of their skulls and skeletons, never once did they reconstruct what they found. Had they done so,

they would have seen a human being that looked radically different from ourselves with a somewhat otherworldly ethereal appearance. This long-headed civilization of the British Isles and some parts of Europe may have been the genesis of folkloric beings such as elves, pixie, and the Faye. Indeed, their appearance offers the possibility that they were completely different species associated with the European long-headed civilizations are dolmens, long-barrows, cairns, and et cetera. End quote. So fascinating information there from Maria Wheatley in her book, The Secret History of Stonehenger. So I wanted to share this critical piece of information because I was literally just in England several weeks ago on our Mysteries of England tour with Hugh Newman

and Maria Wheatley. We saw Stonehenge. We visited all the ancient Neolithic sites. And one day we were at Avebury, one of the grandest and hugest stone circles and archaeological sites there in England. And Avebury is massive. We were there for hours. And our time was winding down. We were getting ready to leave. and somebody in our group told me, hey, Derek, have you seen the strange skulls in the museum? There was a little bookstore, again, where you can buy a lot of these awesome books. And there was also a little museum with artifacts in skeletons.

And it was like six US dollars to get in. So I paid my $6 ran in there. Blue past most of the artifacts in there. I was on a mission to find strange skulls. And if you're watching on a video right now on Spotify, or YouTube, you are going to see footage of what I believe Maria Wheatley was just describing the ancient ethereal-looking humanoids of ancient Britain. You can see these entities, if you want to call them that.

Some might call them ancient humans that were cradle headboarded. To me, I see too many genetic markers to think these are just cradle-boarded ancient humans. not only does the skull elongate in the back, but the face on these is, it's got this skinny face. And after I saw this, I immediately ran to Maria, and she was basically trying to tell me then, this was before I was reading her book, that this is this long-headed culture, this long-headed civilization that could be the genesis of all the folkloric tales of Elvier. and pixies. And again, these ancient elongated, scold, what I call humanoids, have been found at Stonehenge. They've been found at Avebury. They've been found unearthed in a lot of these dolmens and long barrows. I believe there is an exact link between this ancient hybrid race and these ancient

structures, whether we're talking about, again, Stonehenge, Avebury, the long barrows. To me, this is incredible information. Other than Maria Wheatley and maybe Hugh Newman, I'm not hearing hardly anybody talk about this angle and this piece of information. So to close, the truth is the mysteries of Stonehenge just got a whole lot deeper. I hope you enjoyed this episode. Again, reminder to subscribe and give me a five-star rating if you enjoyed this episode. And until next time, keep exploring.

Thank you.
