Stonehenge Summer Solstice Celebrations 2024 & Lunar Standstill | Megalithomania

The summer solstice is when the stones of Stonehenge align with the Sun. For those that arrived early enough they will have seen the Moon rise close to its maximum southern rise position over the 18.6 year cycle. In this video we explore the celebrations in the dark of night. Includes interview with Stonehenge archaeoastronomer Simon Banton who is giving a talk in Salisbury on 4th July: https://cafescientifiquesalisbury.org.... Also mentioned in the video was the Carl Cox and Paul Oakenfold dance event from 2018 at the stones:    • Stonehenge: DJs Paul Oakenfold & Carl...  . Happy solstice Megalithomaniacs!

Note: There were glitches at beginning of video so we fixed it and uploaded updated version.
