Lindisfarne I presume

Merovingian brooch, 6th century

Merovingi or Merohingii ("sons of Merovech") were one of the establishing Frankish dynasties.
Merovech was the King of the Salian Franks.
They were a Germanic tribe who originally worshipped Woden.

The swastika or FYLFOT was used by ancient Germanic peoples such as the Goths, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. But what did it mean? Some say it was a symbol of the sun, some think it was borrowed from the Romans. In this video I explain how the fylfot was actually connected to the cult of the god Wotan aka Odin.

Even more worthy of note is the hart Eikthyrni, which stands in Valhall and bites from the limbs of the tree; and from his horns distils such abundant exudation that it comes down into Hvergelmir, and from thence fall those rivers called thus: Síd, Víd, Søkin, Eikin, Svöl, Gunnthrá, Fjörm, Fimbulthul, Gípul, Göpul, Gömul, Geirvimul

Born in the 17th century, the man dubbed the saviour of Stonehenge, who first realised its solstice alignment, an early archaeologist who preserved and documented many of Britain’s Neolithic megalithic monuments, correctly realised they were pre-Roman and led some of the first proper excavations of Indo-European barrows. William Stukeley FRS FSA was an occultist, freemason LARPing as a druid!

Originally an Anglican clergyman, his antiquarianism led him to a career as a pioneering archaeologist. This fascination with the past cannot be separated from his unusual religious beliefs. He was a Freemason, influenced by Pythagoreanism and Neoplatonism. but believed that this was consistent with the beliefs of the ancient Druids who he thought had acquired the True Religion of monotheism from Phoenician traders in antiquity.

In 1722, he founded the Society of Roman Knights, devoted to the study of Roman era Britain. The Knights each took a name from the Celtic period, Stukeley's was "Chyndonax"

En route to Avebury in 1721, in the Kennet valley he felt the need of a geological map
“I have often wished that a map of soils was accurately made, promising to myself that such a curiosity would furnish us with some new notions of geography, and of the theory of the earth, which has only hitherto been made from hypotheses.” The greatness of his work is based on this tendency towards maps, plans and drawings as in the precision of his drawings of Stonehenge and Avebury.

WS correctly perceived that the innumerable barrows dotted about southern England were of pre-Roman origin by their situation in relation to the Roman roads, either jutting over them or by their lack of proximity to them. He also correctly attributed many of the southern hill forts to the earlier Belgics, rather than the Romans.
William Stukeley first travelled to Stonehenge in early summer of 1719 with Roger and Samuel Gale. He wrote at the time

“The Wiltshire downs, or Salisbury plain, (as commonly call,d) for extent and beauty, is, without controversy, one of the most delightful parts of Britain. But of late years great encroachments have been made upon it by the plough, which threatens the ruin of this fine Champlain, and all of the monuments of antiquity thereabouts...And however I succeed in accounting for these wonderful works: at least. I shall be instrumental in preserving their memory, in giving just drawings of them.” Stukelev's book 'Stonehenge A Temple Restor'd to the British Druids' was first published in 1740.

Stukeley spent many weeks in the next five years accurately measuring, observing and recording. He concluded that Stonehenge was not of Roman origin as others supposed but that the measurements, in cubits, suggested an earlier civilisation. He believed it was a Temple to the Ancient Druids, built by immigrants from the near east, possibly Phoenicians, who had entered this country by the Promontorium Herculaneum, Hartland Point.

His belief that Stonehenge was built c. 500 BC and that Phoenicians were involved was wrong, but indeed it was built by people originating in the Near East (Anatolia), more like 2500 BC, although they had nothing to do with Druids or Phoenicians. His guesswork is still very impressive based on the limited resources at his disposal. Stukeley's accurate drawings of Stonehenge are still used by archaeologists to this day.

Dr.Stukeley is best known as the first person to discover the alignment of the stones with the midsummer and midwinter solstices. He also named the group of two upright stones topped by a horizontal lintel as a 'trilithon' (from the Greek for 3 stones). With Edmund Halley, the astronomer, he proposed that the builders of Stonehenge had aligned the stones with the magnetic north.

The contents of the Bronze age barrows were then believed to be “Celtic” and pertaining to the culture of Druids, when in fact they predate the arrival of true Celtic culture in Britain by more than 1500 years. The illustrations from over 250 years ago of beads, bones and fragments of Bell Beakers from the barrows are still easily recognisable as belonging to that early Indo-European culture.
