Megalithic Era Mazes

The Glastonbury Maze - diagrammatic  This shows the maze path leading to St Michael's Church at the summit of the tor. On the flanks of the hills stands Glastonbury Abbey, and nearby, the Chalice Well. The ridge of the tor continues to Wearyall Hill, where Joseph of Arimathea is supposed to have planted the Glastonbury Thorn, which flowers at the winter solstice. Wearyall Hill forms the shapes of two fishes, the Christian symbol and linked to the Great Year of Pisces which we are currently moving out of.

The labyrinths you show below have been interpretated as astronomical memos. Apparently the number of twists they have make a specific count that is useful for predicting lunar eclipses. I can't recall the details though. A similar but maybe less spectacular patter is found in other artworks as mural deer drawings, lines with a person of great open hands open when you should count ten, the stone plates of VNSP, Iron Age Galician dotted petroglyphs, etc. It's very interesting but it's difficult to understand for those among us that are not at least somehow into Archaeo-astronomy.

A Greek myth says that Uranos, first king of the Atlanteans, invented astronomy. Following some inerpretations of Altamira and other cave paintings as astronomical representations, they myth could well stand right - understanding as Atlanteans the overall peoples of the Atlantic. At least it's a serious possibility.

The iconography (and its secret) would then have travelled through the world via some sort of spiritual sharing, either missionary or , more probably, just knowledge sharing between "shamans" - transmission that obviously didn't stop at the ethnic borders bt rather permeated them.
