Go visit a sacred ancient site, if possible one featuring a high density of megalithic architecture, and when you get back tell me, hand on heart, you didn’t feel something. Modern archaeology, for all the good that it has done, does not seem to respect this point. (Please see the article under the same name on my Substack for an extended ontological explanation as to why.)

Something is ambiguous, absurd, certainly strange (see: Kastrup, 2012).

Let’s talk about strangeness. Your first thought may be the “paranormal”. Those into the phenomena may think of “high strangeness”. Historians may recount a primary source or two that sticks out from the literature. Classicists may see myth. Some of you may even recollect a personal experience. Maybe one you heard from a family member or that omnipresent friend of a friend of a friend.
