Hello everyone,
I was listening to a fantasy-audiobook and one subject were these ley-lines. I then researched a bit and realized that there might be more to this.
"Ley lines (/leɪ/) are straight alignments drawn between various historic structures and prominent landmarks. The idea was developed in early 20th-century Europe, with ley line believers arguing that these alignments were recognised by ancient societies that deliberately erected structures along them. Since the 1960s, members of the Earth Mysteries movement and other esoteric traditions have commonly believed that such ley lines demarcate "earth energies" and serve as guides for alien spacecraft. Archaeologists and scientists regard ley lines as an example of pseudoarchaeology and pseudoscience."

This is the explanation I've found. Sounds interesting, doesn't it?
I'm aware that this could be a coincidence, but do we believe in coincidences? I personally don't.
I watched a Youtube Video (I know that this might not be the safest source, but what others are there?) by Erich von Däniken. He is known for wild theories about the ancient egyptians and he reminds me a bit of Graham Hancock. The video is in german, so I won't add the link. He also pointed out that there are straight lines connecting cities throughout France and Spain, which have similar names. For one line, every name had something to do with stars and for the other line, nearly every name started with "a". Again this could be a coincidence.
In Greece he talked to the captain of the local air force, who told him that there are repetetive patterns connecting the cities. Geometric patterns, which were discovered by f.e. Pythagoras or Euklid. These cities have been there since the stone age.
Maybe it would be worth looking more into this.
I've also heard the theory that obelisks were placed on intersections of ley-lines to block their energy. This sounds a bit too absurd for my taste though.
Let me know what you think about it. And I'm sorry for any grammatical mistakes. English is not my native language :)
