Sacred Landscapes
Jul 30, 2003, 09:05
Can anyone tell me what this term means?

I’m prompted to ask because I’ve been looking at an alleged artificial mound, and from it you can see various other ancient sites and monuments. But then, you would, wouldn’t you? So are they related?

I can see how the very famous places definitely have sacred landscapes, but it’s a term that’s often used and I was wondering what are the criteria. I can see that alignments and sight lines and numbers and proximity and aesthetics can all prompt the thought, but then I wonder whether what we see now really represents what was there then – what about neighbouring tribes and differing dates and tree cover etc.?

Any advice much appreciated.

Puzzled, of Stourport.
