Finding the source from out of the darkness retracing the shadow steps7 of 7

            Be prepared.
Have camera, batteries and tripod.
Find a place built by our ancestors.
Maybe find a beautiful remote location full of myth and magic all around, “your place built by our ancestors.”
Take a sleep.
Wake refreshed and begin.

Humans full of feeling powered by emotion and reason came here and built a site that our investigations see as a place of burial. The burials are not always the oldest part of such sites. There is evidence to raise an idea that sites changed over many years and generations. There is evidence of later burials at prominent sites once they were in decline and the burials can be seen as being from people generations later than those that built and transformed the site from wood to stone and then later on abandoned the site. In the old terminology that still sounds good if also confusing the Bronze Age burials at Stone Age monuments might be Bronze Age people using an earlier feature they admired, but did not fully understand. We have the chance to visit the remains of these sites like never before. We have a chance to listen to the evidence and to find something of the way we lived and loved. We can take a moment to breath and to connect to that which we find inspires us and we can dream of what our culture will leave for generations to come. We have a better chance than ever to leave a living loving earth full of myth and magic for generations to explore for future humans to adore.
