Some of the things You should note are the increased yield from crops, water not freezing etc etc, try to clear you minds of the burial and ritual usual ASSUMPTION ( ASS-U-ME)

The energies involved are about creation and dissolvement, so the burial and ritual will be a consequence, but not the design reasons, they are functional, machine like.

Hi Kev,
I have to bow to your ability to make sweeping statements without one iota of evidence or theory!

these energies "creation and dissolvement" and then "burial and ritual will be the cosequence"

How do you arrive at the ASSUMPTION that 1 that there are energies (different from usual)? 2. that they are some how about creation and dissolvement (in any other way than all energies/phenomena are in a constant of creation and dissolvement? 3. that burial and ritual are the consequence ....Why? 4. why not the design reason? 5. what is the design reason? 6. what is their function? 7.How are they mechanistic? 8. is your universe mechanistic?

Regards
MM

Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were Jack and Jill who climbed the steps for a bucket but not for water. The snake-king of Babylon climbed the steps to keep his crown.
[(Day 3) Nisan 6: The gods arrive by barge at Babylon, among them Nabu, the son and avenger, who takes up residence in Ezida, his chapel in the temple of Marduk..
Barges carrying statues of the gods from Nippur, Uruk, Cutha and Kish converge to Babylon. The commentary is quite explicit:"That is he who comes to seek after the welfare of this father who is held captive". Possibly there was a great procession from the quays to the temple led by the king, who is mentioned as being present and pouring out a libation before the gods. We can assume that Nabu´s arrival brought back renewal and was celebrated accordingly by the people

(Day 4) Nisan 7: Nabu, assisted by other gods, liberates Marduk by force from the mountain of the Netherworld.]
The snake-king of Angkor Wat also climbed the steps of the high tower, central world mountain, within the moat as world ocean. The king of Babylon had the title Kambujiya, the origin of "Cambodia". Boats are also found buried outside pyramids of the snake pharaohs, like Arthur Pendragon in his barge to Avalon.

Chimera,
How many people climb up the bell towers of churchs?
How many perform RITUALISTIC things whilst up there?
Jack and jill may have gone to the hill , to fetch a pale of water.

Rumour has it that the moat was 120 ft wide and 30 ft deep. Early pile-drivers probably had problems with such a height of bridge posts, so evidently the hill was accessed by boat. The precise cutting of the western extension rectangle suggests a boat dock, for a ritual barge which travelled around the hill. Maybe Avon-Cunnit barges could re-enact the ritual after some weekend volunteer work excavating the ditch. Then the circle would continue as a spiral up to the summit. Like the snake.

A search of MPortal shows no posts on Silbury snake which is near the spring source of Kennet / Cunnit river. Rotherwas snake is on the floodplain of Wye at confluence with Lugg river. The Boyne ("bo" cattle) river flows from the spring where the goddess
of Danaan snake-river, seized cattle which were swept along the Boyne. As danu means "bountiful giver" (of cattle , water and human ancestors), the 3 examples suggest that Silbury had that reason for existing. Traditionally, people have taken the Cunnit spring water to the top of Silbury and drunk it, which resembles tribal snake-marriage ritual.

Herodotus 4.62
In every district, at the seat of government, there stands a temple of this god, whereof the following is a description. It is a pile of brushwood, made of a vast quantity of fagots, in length and breadth three furlongs; in height somewhat less, having a square platform upon the top, three sides of which are precipitous, while the fourth slopes so that men may walk up it. Each year a hundred and fifty waggon-loads of brushwood are added to the pile, which sinks continually by reason of the rains. An antique iron sword is planted on the top of every such mound, and serves as the image of Mars: yearly sacrifices of cattle and of horses are made to it, and more victims are offered thus than to all the rest of their gods. When prisoners are taken in war, out of every hundred men they sacrifice one, not however with the same rites as the cattle, but with different. Libations of wine are first poured upon their heads, after which they are slaughtered over a vessel; the vessel is then carried up to the top of the pile, and the blood poured upon the scymitar. While this takes place at the top of the mound, below, by the side of the temple, the right hands and arms of the slaughtered prisoners are cut off, and tossed on high into the air. Then the other victims are slain, and those who have offered the sacrifice depart, leaving the hands and arms where they may chance to have fallen, and the bodies also, separate.
