Interesting to see that n the period 1800-1500 BC, many individual monumental tombs were carved with axe-heads and daggers and may signify some sort of expansion or change in the great stone circle’s religious function.
In Indo-European tradition axe-heads were often associated with storm deities – and some surviving European folklore beliefs suggest that upwards-facing axe blades were used as magical talismans to protect crops, people and property against lightning and storm damage. It’s potentially significant that every single one of the Stonehenge axe-head images have their blades pointing skywards, while the daggers point downwards. The axe-heads – the vast majority of the images – may therefore have been engraved as votive offerings to placate a storm deity and thus protect crops.
Remember the magic jadeite axe-head from the 4900-3800 BC period...
