Uncovering The Secrets Of Britains Most Mysterious Landmark: Stonehenge | Our History

A two-part documentary about Britain's most famous historical landmark, Stonehenge. Four thousand years ago our ancestors built a mysterious and enigmatic monument and we still don't know why. It's been said that every age gets the Stonehenge it desires or deserves. The Victorians saw it as a sacrificial altar to the druids. In the hippy 1960s it was a complex astronomical calendar or even an alien landing strip. This film examines a controversial new theory - that Stonehenge was the site of a symbolic sexual act between a God and a Goddess - an act which can be witnessed at the monument every year at the Midsummer Dawn. Physicist Terence Meaden calls his theory 'The Marriage of the Gods' - a fertility celebration. Who were the builders of Stonehenge? And how did they build it? In this film musicians, scientists and an archaeologist experiment with sound effects to try and understand how our ancestors might have used their greatest monument.

How to Learn Easily from Human History's Victories and Failures?

Learning from human history's mistakes and victories is simple. It is easy to think about the things that worked well in the past today and find ways to make them work for you today.


Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?

Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.

History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. That we cannot do anything to affect them.

This conditioning prevents us from thinking critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. To challenge assumptions. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. If we don't grow we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.

Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. History repeats itself because we refuse to learn from our mistakes and instead continue to make the same ones over and over.

It is possible to break the cycle of history repetition. You can change the way you see the world, and your perspective by realizing that nothing is fixed in stone. Everything is subject to constant flux. All things are in constant flux.

To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. To accept that things could go wrong. Accept that failure is possible. To accept that failure is a possibility.

Accept that you may never achieve your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.

It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.

You can't control your destiny. You can't control progress unless you let go.


Who was the first to say that those who don’t learn from history are ignorant?

Even though we want to live in an ideal universe where everyone learns through history, it's not possible to learn more from our failures.

The best way to learn how to do something correctly is to actually experience it.

The biggest mistake you can make is not ensuring that it goes right the first and only time.

As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.

You might even discover that you could have done it better the first time.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try again. You've learned a lot.

While you may not be able avoid making mistakes, there are ways to minimize them. And that's the difference between success and failure.

Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"

Being honest with yourself will help you see that your mistakes are only lessons. They're learning experiences that can help you grow.

Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.

He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.

He invented the best form of lighting that is popular today.

So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your errors. These are your opportunities to learn.

And then, you can try again.


What are three things you can learn from history?

There are numerous examples throughout history that demonstrate how we can learn and improve from our mistakes. These lessons can be applied to the challenges of business today and turned into opportunities for growth.

The past teaches us there is always another way. You will always find someone who thinks outside of the box and takes chances that make them stand out.

History shows that the underdogs are often the ones who win. So when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even lost, look back to those times when the underdog won.

Learn from the past and use the lessons to improve your future. Learn from the successes and failures of others.

These lessons can help increase your success rates.
