Seven Wonders - Suffolk's Ancient sites - Jeremy Taylor

Far away from the mind boggling complexity of the pyramids of Giza, yet equally compelling, sit seven sites of mythic antiquity whose geomantic and geometric design collectively creates a beautiful and vast heptagon in the landscape.

It is only now that we are beginning to truly recognise that our European Bronze age ancestors showed the same remarkable levels of sophistication and civilisation as that of the ancient Egyptians and cultures of the Middle East.

The remarkable locations and sacred sites within Suffolk which we shall explore shortly are of 'stone age' ingenuity and cosmological significance. Once rediscovered they open up one's consciousness to our ancestral heritage and in so doing demand from us consideration with beginner's mind once more to the world around us, restoring to us that sense of 'awe' that modern day living can so easily obliterate.

History, the ritual landscape and geometry once resonated very much as one, and I earnestly believe that there is something here in Suffolk of enigmatic design and purpose and whose origins were laid down millennia ago. Faint traces of our ancestors, whose silent whispers in the landscape once conveyed so much awe and splendour now sadly lie silent, their purpose and meaning largely forgotten, for in general there is a present day lack of any real sense of connectedness.

This compounds our ability to relate - be it to the environment - through the seasons, the cosmos - through the heavenly bodies or to our community through a neighbour.
