Proszę jakieś dobre dusze o pomoc w tłumaczeniu podkreślonych fragmentów. Tłumaczyłam to kilka razy i za każdym razem jest źle i nie mam już pomysłu jak to ugryźć więc będę wdzięczna za jakiekolwiek sugestie.
1. Many of the prehistoric monuments and more recent sites photographed have become associated with folklore, legend and mystery.
2. There is a remarkable similarity in legends and stories associated with prehistoric monuments, and these can be heard throughout Britain.
3. One of the many folktales associated with the Callanish Standing Stones on the Isle of Lewis, probably second only in importance to Stonehenge, has it that they represent thirteen local giants who refused to join the new church.
4. Cadaverous tombs, of which there are 154 left in Britain, are a style within the general genre of memento mori ‒ a reminder of the inevitability of death, and, underlying the practice, the belief that in the eye of God, regardless of wealth and position, we are the same.
5. The Neolithic burial chamber in Anglesey, Bryn Cell Ddu ‒ ‘hill of the dark grove’ ‒ became the scene of Druidic revival, so too the weirdly- shaped Brimham Rocks, and Midmar Stone Circle, with a recumbent stone looking not unlike a sacrificial altar, which became known as The Druida.
6. Following the example set by Sir John Vanbrugh and Nicolas Hawksmoor at Castle Howard numerous rich landowners, influenced by contemporary art and continental travel, embraced the view that the great country parks could be enhanced with the addition of a Greek Parthenon, Roman ruin, Egyptian pyramid or Druid temple.
7. Knowlton Henge in Dorset is a desolate and beautiful place. The Neolithic henge, one of an original set of three, but preserved and particularly special because of the twelfth-century church built within its banks, is a pagan temple, Christianized and now abandoned. I watched white witches gather here and, in silence and single file, walk in an anticlockwise procession right around the outer bank, before dowsing the henge to release ‘trapped energies’.
