演講簡介New archaeological discoveries in sacred places throughout the European Continents offer a remarkable perspective on the spiritual and social life of ancient Europeans. The construction of the Neolithic (5300-2300 BC) ditch enclosures as ‘ancestral arenas’ and ‘houses of the dead’ in the form of funerary long barrows creates a kind of mythical network in the landscape around the holly Mount of Říp (Czech Republic), which developed over a long period of time and whose significance, like England’s Stonehenge (Great Britain), endured for several millennia. No visible traces of them remain on the surface today, and so they have been forgotten in recent centuries. But modern archaeological research is re-inscribing them on the landscape map. Neolithic monuments and ritual landscapes thus reflect the social life and cosmology of first Neolithic populations of Europe. They are linked to archetypes from the time of the first farmers, whose mythology survives in the myths of ancient Greece, which are followed by the spiritual values of ancient Europe.
