Another Stonehenge Found in Russia?
By Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News

Nov. 17, 2004 — Russian archaeologists have announced that they have found the remains of a 4,000-year-old structure that they compare to England's Stonehenge, according to recent reports issued by Pravda and Novosti, two Russian news services.

If the comparison holds true, the finding suggests that both ancient European and Russian populations held similar pagan beliefs that wove celestial cycles with human and animal life.

What a silly statement.

Of course the ancient Europeans and the ancient Russians shared the same pagan beliefs and the same language and the same genes. 10,000 years ago we were the same people.

Where do you think the Celts came from? The isle of Skye was an ancient Celtic religious centre. The name of the island comes from the name of the people Scoti and from the name of the goddess they worshipped, Scatha. These people came from Ireland, and before that they came from Spain and before that they came from a land called Scythia which has several locations depending on where the Scythian people lived at any particular point in time. Bottom line is that like all Indo-Iranian peoples including the Slavs, they originated somewhere north of the Caucasus mountains.

The genetic record alone will tell you that we all descend from the same sources. All the differences in language and culture have arisen as a result of small groups of people being isolated from one another and having different life experences. This is slowly changing in the modern world.
