Mam Tor is a 517 m (1,696 ft) hill near Castleton in the High Peak of Derbyshire, England. It lies within the Hope Valley. It is at the centre of a vast sacred ‘Pagan’ site - an Egg shaped bowl, several miles across. This whole area has a great number of ancient monuments – barrows, circles, mounds and standing stones in an ancient landscape. ===================== CREDITS Maps of the location of prehistoric sites from the Megalithic Portal https://www.megalithic.co.uk/ Vincent Van Gogh – Road with Cypress and Star; Starry Night Mam tor ‘mount doom’ by Richard Cottrell-Ayrshire--Arran-photography Still photographs – David Rock-Evans The Mirror of Venus - Edward Burne-Jones Video - by Michel Edelenbosch contact [email protected] also https://www.youtube.com/c/MichelEdelenbosch/videos More details on Sacred Geography in general can be found by following this link https://allaboutheaven.org/science/sacred-geography/121 This acts as the main page entry to find the meaning of all the symbols and concepts used in sacred geography and sacred architecture.

The Romans mined the area for lead, stones were removed for walls and farm buildings. The whole area has been quarried, and is pocked by quarrying scars. There is a very ugly cement works visible for miles within the sacred area and the site has been the victim of road building and inept excavations. Mam Tor was almost levelled by the erection of a Home Guard post during World War II and has even more recently been levelled off and a trig point erected. The collapse of the sacred mountain was caused by bungled excavation. A shameful record of ignorance, greed and arrogance.
