대기 중의 레이디 : Avebury 단지에 대한 설명
4천5백년 전 지금 윌트셔의 Avebury로 알려져 있습니다 무엇에서, 신석기 남자는 광대한 석조 원 (그레이트 서클) 남쪽으로 더 알려진 영국의 스톤헨지 이십마일보다 여러 번 큰를 건설. 이러한 100하므로 sarsen 스톤 외부를 둘러싼 것은 거대한 부분적으로 silted 업 henge 사이트로 오늘날 그것을 분류 깊은 따라서 일부 삼십피트 폐기하라. 그래서 큰 Avebury의 현대 마을의 대부분이 마일 네 fifths 자사의 둘레 안에 낳는 것을 원을했습니다. 그것만이 인상적이다라고하는 것은 그 웅장함을 과소 평가하는 것입니다.
서쪽 Kennet와 Beckhampton의 길 오늘날 알려진 스탠딩 스톤의 두 두 행과였다 그레이트 서클에 합류했습니다. 서쪽 Kennet 애비뉴는 거의 하나였습니다 및 길이와 비슷한되었습니다 것으로 비록 길이지만, 지금은 제외한 모든 누락된 Beckhampton 번가의 종료 지점에서 반 마일은 현재 알 수 없습니다.
서쪽 Kennet 애비뉴의 가장 먼 끝에 그것에 연결의 사이트입니다 지금은 성역으로 알려진 석재와 목재 서클 세트 파괴 이것은 영국 제도에서 가장 오래된 그리고 트랙 방향 긴 함께 Overton 언덕에 누워 - 리지 웨이 경로.
그레이트 서클의 남쪽 마일 세 분기는 수수께끼 Silbury 언덕, 큰 지어진 지금은 주로 일어 silted 거대 주변 20피트 깊은 도랑과 유럽의 언덕 인간했다. 다섯 지상 공간과 주장하는 몇몇 견적과 그것이 1백30피트 높은 반 에이커를 덮고있는 그것은 가지진 뿔 예상하고 황소와 목제 도구의 양어깨 이상 아무것도 사용하지 구축 몇 18000000 남자가 시간이 걸렸다. Avebury에서 남북을 실행하면 Silbury 언덕의 남쪽 강 Kennet와 병합 Avebury Winterbourne 스트림입니다.
또한 단지 Silbury 언덕 아래 것은 주요 강 Kennet가 상승 Swallowhead 스프링스를 이룹니다. A quarter of a mile further south on the top of rising ground is the West Kennet Long Barrow, a chambered Early Neolithic chambered burial tomb believed to have been in use some 1,000 years prior to the construction of the other megaliths in the area.
These combined man-made structures are known collectively as the Avebury Complex and it has been classified as a World Heritage Site such is its importance. However, even after many excavations have taken place at the Great Circle, the Avenues, the Sanctuary and Silbury Hill, no practical or tangible theories or understanding of why they were built and what they were used for on completion has been put forward – until now that is! They had remained as much a mystery as when the first known official excavation began back in the 17 th century.
After some 30 years investigating the Complex, stone circle researcher Roy Goutté has reached some amazing conclusions that he says will change our understanding of Neolithic man in Great Britain and their beliefs for ever if correct. No longer will the Great Circle at Avebury, or Stonehenge for that matter, be seen as 'stand alone' structures, but part of huge complexes. It is by reaching this understanding that we can now begin to decipher their true meaning.
Working systematically through eight individual man-made or natural parts of the Avebury Complex as he sees it, he has now intrinsically linked them to show that they were all interconnected to form a huge hitherto unrecognised Female Earth Figure laid out over hundreds of acres of the Wiltshire countryside and has written a book on his discoveries. The Work is titled 'A Lady In Waiting' and clearly shows that this figure was designed and built in the Late Neolithic period. Roy Goutté firmly believes it was built with one aim in mind… to lead the Souls of the Dead into their Afterlife and his book guides the reader through the various stages of the Neolithic transition from this world into the next!
Contemporary with the building of the Great Pyramid at Giza and the Egyptian belief in the Afterlife, Roy Goutté has been able to show that it wasn't just the hierarchy of its time that benefitted from the promise of an Afterlife at Avebury, but everybody, for he believes that the Earth Figure was built by the people, for the people . How it functioned and how it all worked in the mindset of Neolithic man is clearly shown by the intricate layout of the figure and how it used the natural waterways which ran through the figure's body to bring it 'alive' to them by representing its Lifeblood.
The Swallowhead Springs were a representation of the birth canal with the New Life emerging from the womb which was itself represented by Silbury Hill with its water filled ditch symbolically representing the 'waters' around the unborn Spirit while awaiting its emergence into the Afterlife. The Stone Avenues were the arms of the Figure and the Sanctuary at the conclusion of the West Kennet Avenue the Gathering Hand alongside the Ridgeway Path where the burial ground, mortuary house and drying-out platforms were situated and from where the Afterlife journey began. The Ridgeway Path was the route that led directly to the Sanctuary and would have been witness to much sadness as dead or dying people were carried or walked to their last earthly resting place prior to beginning their journey into the Afterlife.
The Great Circle was of course the Head of the Figure and the two smaller stone circles within it the Eyes. It had a Mouth which ringed a Sacred Well that is still in evidence today.
In all it is an astounding discovery and the actual layout of the Figure showing all the relevant parts can quite clearly be seen on the overdrawn map within the book or on the Lady In Waiting website along with over 50 photographs of those component parts. In all, the book is innovative and groundbreaking and more importantly, very plausible if one reverts to a way of thinking not seen since Neolithic times.
Roy Goutté concludes his book with the words:-
'Nearly everything that should be there still is – the only things really missing are the people and their beliefs'.
And he's right and I'm sure that after reading this book you too will think again about the true meaning of the Avebury Complex.

About the Author
Roy Goutté was born in the Channel Island of Jersey, but now lives in Cornwall on the edge of Bodmin Moor with his wife and their two sons.
His interest in the past began as a child when growing up in the south-east of the island where many of his early boyhood days were spent playing around such important sites as the passage graves at La Hougue Bie in the parish of Grouville; La Pouquelaye de Faldouet in the parish of St Martin; Mont Ubé at St Clement and the gallery grave Le Dolmen du Couperon at St Martin. At the time they were just places to have fun in on days out, but as he matured he began to take more interest in them for what they really were and not just as playgrounds.
After leaving Jersey he became a regular visitor to Stonehenge and Avebury as his interest had moved to mainly investigating stone circles. Access to Stonehenge then became so limited that he felt it restricted his investigations there, so he concentrated solely on Avebury. He had been working on a theory that both Stonehenge and Avebury were not 'stand-alone' sites like many thought, but part of huge complexes, so this gave him good reason to investigate Avebury fully and without distraction.
Working alone, his dedicated research into the Avebury Complex has resulted in this – A Lady In Waiting - his first archaeological style book investigating an ancient wonder that has captured the imagination of people since the days of such notable antiquaries as John Aubrey in the 17 th century and William Stukeley in the 18th.
Roy Goutté is also the author of eight previously published books in the Principal Lines series on the bloodlines of the Border Collie in various disciplines – and an Obedience dog training book – Get It Right .
