Destruction of Carnac Megaliths in France!

Brittany in France has one of the densest concentrations of megalithic monuments in the world but hundreds if not thousands have been destroyed - approximately 45% of them are gone in parts of Brittany. Now we have lost 39 menhirs which were destroyed to make room for a Mr. Bricolage hardware store! Now the pro-migrant mayor of Carnac who defended the desecration and made jokes about it, is saying he has received death threats.

Real Life Wicker Man - The Earl of Rone

 

The Hunting of the Earl of Rone is an ancient ceremony in the village of Combe Martin in England which resembles the film “The Wicker Man”. Although local legend has it that the ceremony derives from the capture of the Earl of Tyrone who fled from Ireland in 1607, I demonstrate in this documentary that it has clear parallels in European pagan customs and in Hinduism, which proves that the procession, the hobby horse, the fool, and the drowning of the straw idol originate in pre-Christian seasonal Anglo-Saxon rites.
