British Neolithic Monument - 3000BC

Description

Been reading some history this week, thought Id have a go at illustrating a henge in situ. For the most part, Historians have no idea what the stone circles were actually for. They have various alignments to astrology and they have found burials in and around them, but they dont know if they were used strictly for the dead, worship to a higher power or if indeed they were just clocks for Neolithic people to use for their crops. I would like to think they were used for all of those things on some level and not just to make sacrifices to a god long-forgotten.

Painted over a about 4 hours in Photoshop.

Lovely capture. If only it were possible (and logical) to go back as "a fly on the wall" and watch moments in history to uncover secrets left to time. Perhaps those secrets aren't really so secret and we're just blind to the answers despite them screaming at us. Makes one wonder sometimes.
