THE GRANARY AT STONEHENGE
WHAT WAS ANCIENT STONEHENGE ACTUALY USED FOR?
WHO WE ARE
Michael Whitney
Clyde Hollifield
Michael Whitney first had a dream of Stonehenge as the ruins of an ancient grain mill. Mike also produced the videos and photos of the working windmill.
Clyde Hollifield researched and wrote the thesis, "The Granary at Stonehenge," and designed the working model using the evidence at the Stonehenge site and the technologies available to neolithic man. Those technologies were limited to stone working, woodworking, leather working, rope making, cloth making, ceramics, and sailing. Neolithic man had no metalworking when Stonehenge was built.
As this project moved along both Mike and Clyde shared in the development of the ideas involved. The creation of the working 1/25th scale model of Stonehenge as a windmill using only primitive technologies, proves that neolithic man could have constructed such a mill. After all, working and erecting the giant stones at Stonehenge would have been the hardest part of the mill construction by far. This primitive and beautiful windmill was entirely within the ability of neolithic man to create.
The granary at Stonehinge was man's first step into the mechanical age and was a full 1,000 years before any other culture created such a mechanical structure. It is the belief of the authors that soil tests at Stonehenge will prove beyond a doubt that grain was worked at the site. The granary at Stonehenge fell into ruin and was forgotten with the advent of the iron age and new technologies.
The grain and the stones are connected.
