"Sensationelle Forschungen der Archäo-Astrophysik: Europaweit einzigartige Anlage eines keltischen Kalenderbauwerks am Glauberg<br />
<br />
Wer sich für Astronomie und keltische Kultur begeistert, ist am 1. September 2007 herzlich zur Eröffnungsfeier des rekonstruierten keltischen Kalenderbauwerks im Archäologischen Park Glauberg eingeladen. Diese, von Wissenschaftlern auf das fünfte Jahrhundert vor Christus datierte, keltische Kultstätte trug zur Zeit ihres Betriebs vermutlich den Rang eines „Heiligen Bezirks" und nahm daher überregionale Bedeutung ein. Als man sie in den 90er Jahren entdeckte, stieß man zunächst auf zwei große Grabhügel mit vortrefflich erhaltenen und reichhaltig ausgestatteten Fürstengräbern. Um diese herum förderten Ausgrabungen ein komplexes System aus Gräben und Pfostenreihen zu Tage, sowie eine lebensgroße Statue aus Sandstein.<br />
<br />
Auffälligster Bestandteil des Grabenwerks ist bei dessen Betrachtung zunächst ein etwa 10 Meter breiter Ringgraben, der den großen Grabhügel 1 umgibt. Nach Südosten hin mündet er in die sogenannte „Prozessionsstraße", die sich als zwei parallele Gräben schnurgerade etwa 350 Meter in diese Richtung erstreckt. Nördlich des großen Grabhügels stießen Archäologen, neben einem komplexen System weiterer Gräben, auf 16 gruppenweise angeordneten Pfostengruben, welche mit vermutlich etwa 8 bis 9 Meter langen Holzstämmen bestückt waren.<br />
<br />
Obwohl die genaue Bedeutung dieser Anlage bis jetzt ungeklärt ist, gehen die Wissenschaftler davon aus, dass die durchdachte, geometrische Anordnung der Gräben und Pfosten, nicht nur kultischen, sondern auch astronomischen Zwecken gerecht wurde. Mit Hilfe der Pfähle und verschiedener Visierpositionen war es von der Stätte aus möglich, bestimmte Punkte am Horizont genau anzupeilen, wodurch man die tägliche Verschiebung des Sonnenaufgangspunktes genau bestimmen konnte. Auf diese Weise gelang es den keltischen Gelehrten, die Tage kalendarisch zu fixieren und anhand des Sonnenstandes den Beginn des keltischen Jahres, sowie dessen Feiertage und die Zeit der Aussaat und Ernte festzulegen und vorauszuberechnen. Außerdem liefert der Grundriss der Anlage Hinweise auf die große Bedeutung des Mondes, dessen komplizierte Bahn sich ebenfalls genau berechnen ließ und vermutlich Feiertage bestimmte: die Große Südliche Mondwende etwa, welche nur alle 18 bis 19 Jahre stattfindet und vielleicht eine der wichtigsten Festlichkeiten frühkeltischer Kultur war.<br />
<br />
Die große Feier zur Eröffnung dieses in Europa einmaligen Kalenderbauwerks beginnt am 1. September um 18 Uhr. Besucher finden dann zunächst Zeit für ein Picknick, einen Spaziergang, oder den Besuch des Keltenlagers und können sich an bereitgestelltem Essen und Trinken erfreuen. Hierbei lohnt es sich, aufgrund eines eventuellen Mangels an Sitzplätzen eigene Sitzgelegenheiten wie etwa Klappstühle mitzubringen. Die Begrüßung der Anwesenden und mehrere Grußworte finden ab 19.30 Uhr statt. Mit Einsatz der Dämmerung erfolgt ein Vortrag von Prof. Deiss (Physikalischer Verein, Universität Frankfurt) zur Bedeutung des Bauwerks, bevor gegen 20.30 Uhr griechische und lateinische Textpassagen über die Kelten verlesen werden. Für den feierlichen Ausklang der Veranstaltung sorgt ab der Dämmerung bis in die beginnende Nacht hinein eine große Musik- und Lichtschau, die von den Künstlern Dirk Raufeisen (Musik), Norbert Mohr (Licht) und Sven Waldschmidt (Akustik) getragen wird.<br />
<br />
Seien Sie herzlich willkommen zur Eröffnung dieser einzigartigen frühkeltischen Stätte und genießen Sie die Feier!"<br />

I'm sitting in front of a PC on a desk in a house located on the horizon in the distance in the direction of the middle post from the left group of three posts. The hilltop the left post of the left group of three posts is "Eichelkopf". The Eichelkopf was covered with Oak trees, a few of which still stand, but as exposed to the winds as it is, many of the trees have been knocked down. The hill is difficult to reach. No road leads to the top, no trodden path, no signs. I went there a few years ago, prior to the Glauberg sensation, and I sat there checking the place out for oh, maybe three hours or so. I came down from the hill certain it was once fortified and occupied. But of course the ones that lived at Glauberg had been to the top of Eichelkopf. It's obvious. The celts in this region took to the hilltops. They somehow communicated with one another, from hilltop to hilltop, perhaps via smoke signals.

A piece of the puzzle is missing. I'll have to search for this and add it here to give the calendar idea a foundation. There's not a lot on the web. Most of what we know about the calendar was explained to us by one of the Profs on site during one of the events the Boss and I attended. But let me tell you this much.....<br />

I would say they do, yes, because the Irish -as well as the French in the northern parts of France- but especially the Irish have kept the ancient language alive.<br />

Okay, I looked at the wiki entry you linked to. Brittany is the one I was referring to. I know from a french feller I know that the language from his hometown is anything but french and they too claim to be the real Celts.<br />

<br />
Up until recently, thanks to archeologists, Hesse had not been seen as a celtic (high) cultural centre. But with the discovery of the prince's grave and the unearthing of the artifacts found there, it became obvious that Glauberg was once THE centre of celtic culture. I might be climbing too far out on a limb here, as I'm not an expert on the subject. I would like to think it's true and from what I've seen of the surrounding area, the celts were here for quite some time and they do appear to have had a good relationship with the Germanen AND a most elaborate trade network reaching all the way from this area down to the mediterranien sea, or perhaps the other way around.
