First in this seminar. I’m going to give a brief introduction to contemporary research on rock art. and in the second part, I’m going to give you some do’s and don’ts for our fieldwork trip in April so
2 please listen very carefully. I’m first going to focus on the interpretation of rock art in Namibia. We are very fortunate to be going to an area where you can find some of the most important sites in the entire world. And I hope to show you how easy it is for everyone to make mistakes in looking at cultures which are different from our own the first and most important lesson we have to learn. In Namibia there arc both paintings and engravings that’s where the surface of the rock is cut out. Many of the engravings show footprints of animals and most scholars used to think that the purpose of these was simple and obvious: this rock art was like a school book with pictures to teach children about tracks: which track belonged lo which animal – giraffe, lion and so on. But there were some mysteries. First, when you look at a typical Namibian painting or engraving, you see the tracks are repeated, there are dozens of tracks for the same animal. You’d expect just one clear illustration if the reason the aim was to teach tracking. Now there were two more problems. Why are some of the engravings of animals very accurate as you’d expect all clearly identifiable and others quite unrealistic? And another mystery some of these unrealistic animals that’s in the engravings seem to be half-human. Some, for example, have got human faces. Many researchers now think that these were pictures the wise men engraved of themselves. They believed they could use magic to control the animals they had drawn, so the hunters could then catch them for food. This shows you some of the dangers of coming from one culture to another, as we’ll be doing, without understanding it fully. Scholars imagined that children looked at rock art pictures to learn to track just because they themselves had learnt skills from pictures: many researchers now believe that rock art had a much more complex purpose. And we’ll talk more about it next week! Question 6-10 Complete the sentences below. Write ONE WORD ONLY for each answer. 6. If you look at a site from a ______ distance ______, you reduce visitor pressure. 7. To camp on a site may be disrespectful to people from that ______ culture ______. 8. Undiscovered material may be damaged by ______ fire(s)______. 9. You should avoid ______ touching ______ or tracing rock art as it is so fragile 10. In general, your aim is to leave the site ______ intact ______. TRANSCRIPT Now before I invite you to join in a discussion in this second part of the seminar. I’d like to make some very important points about our fieldwork and in fact any field trip to look at rock art.
3 We’re going to a number of sites, and we won’t always be together. The single largest problem faced by people who manage the sites is – yes. I’m sure you’ve guessed damage caused by visitors, even though it’s usually unintentional. Whenever you do go to a site, don’t forget you can learn many things from observing at a distance instead of walking all over it. This can really help to reduce visitor pressure. People often say. ‘Well, there’s only two of us and just this one time’, but maybe thousands of people are saying the same thing. And then some basic rules to guide you – we’ll have our own camp near a village, but remember never to camp on a site if you go on your own It may be disrespectful to the people of that culture and certainly don’t make fires, however romantic it may seem. It’s really dangerous in dry areas, and you can easily burn priceless undiscovered material by doing so. So, how are we going to enjoy the rock art on our field trip? By looking at it. drawing it and photographing it – NEVER by touching it or even tracing it. Rock art is fragile and precious. Remember that climbing on rocks and in caves can destroy in a moment what has lasted for centuries. So no heroics in Namibia, please! Try to be extra careful and help others to be too. And lastly please don’t even move rocks or branches to take photographs you should leave the site intact. I’m sure I can rely on you to do that. Well, that’s about all I want to say before today’s first discussion, but if you have any questions please ask them now and don’t forget you’ll find some fascinating information about world–wide sites on the Internet. Right, first question then? Session 2. You will hear an radio talk about ley line. Answer the following questions, write NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS for each answer. 1. Which part of many ley lines is the location of the Glastonbury Tor? The centre/hub 2. What did ancient peoples mark by building structures along them? trade routes 3. What is believed to be an indication of the Earth’s geomagnetic energy by Ruth? Ley lines 4. Why may ancient peoples have been drawn to ley lines? Because there were More in tune with nature 5. What are ancient civilizations claimed to have made when erecting monuments in order to represent the position of certain groups of stars? (complex) astronomical calculations TRANSCRIPT Interviewer: Today we're pleased to welcome Ruth Browning of the Gaia Institute, where for the past fifteen years they've been examining a phenomenon known as ley lines. Ruth, what can you tell us about ley lines? Ruth: Well, first of all, it has to be said that there is still a lot of controversy surrounding ley lines, with many sceptics doubting their existence altogether. One definition of ley lines is that they are imaginary lines marking
4 the alignment of ancient places of worship, but we believe there is nothing imaginary about them, that real geophysical power is at the root of it all. However, whether you believe in them or not, it is true that the vast majority of ancient temples, castles, churches, stone circles, megaliths and shrines tend to align in straight lines. Anyone with a comprehensive tourist map, a pencil and a ruler can verify this. For example, if we consider a significant site in British folklore - the Tor at Glastonbury - we see that it sits at the hub of a large number of ley lines which lead off directly through hundreds of other ancient sites. Ley lines have been found connecting the stone circles of Scotland and there is even a ley line purported to be running right through Buckingham Palace. But lev lines are not confined to the British Isles. The Nazca lines, which cross the plains of Peru, are just one other example. They also occur in China, Greece, Egypt and anywhere ancient peoples constructed their temples. In the past thirty years or so there has been a resurgence of interest in ley lines. Their existence was discovered, or should I say rediscovered, by a man called Alfred Watkins in 1921, who, while studying an ordnance survey map in Hertfordshire, noticed that a series of geological features and man-made sites appeared to have a most singular alignment. He went on to publish a book propounding the theory that the constructions on lev lines were the navigational markers of ancient trade routes. This theory was soon discredited, however, as few considered it plausible that a trader would have been willing to scale a high hill and then clamber down to the valley just to follow the straightest line across the land. While most people agree that there appears to be a definite arrangement in the placing of these sites, many consider them to be a mere coincidence. Our own research at the institute has indicated that an alignment of historical sites does not automatically determine the presence of a ley line, although it often points to one being there. Instead, we believe that ley lines are a manifestation of the Earth's geomagnetic energy, which crisscrosses the land creating a network of natural power right under our feet. There is compelling evidence to suggest that this energy runs in straight lines, much like the meridians - as any acupuncturist will tell you - that cover our bodies. The monuments on them merely serve to reveal this network. This would imply that either the peoples of ancient civilisations all over the world were aware of lev lines, or they were unwittingly drawn to their power. In ancient times, people were far more in tune with nature and the earth than we are today, relying more on their body's natural sensitivity and intuitive powers to locate underground water supplies or a sacred site for a temple or shrine. There are other theories about lev lines. Some believe that the location of ancient sites along specific lines was based on complex astronomical calculations made by the builders of ancient monuments, whose intention was to mirror the alignment of constellations in the skv. And, according to some claims, UFO sightings often occur above ley line intensive areas. In recent years, proving the existence of ley lines has been a favourite pastime of New Age enthusiasts, which is why scientists tend to take a dim view of the subject. However, scientists who have studied lev lines claim that the place where they are said to intersect seem to
