Ley lines as earth energy grid

Record	OBS-0620
Category	Unsorted/Other
Status	UNPROVEN
Summary	In the 1960s, the Earth Mysteries movement reinterpreted ley lines as conduits of mystical earth energies, often linked to UFOs and sacred sites. This belief persists in some esoteric circles despite lack of scientific evidence.
Origin	Revived and altered by Tony Wedd in 1961 and popularized by John Michell's 1969 book 'The View Over Atlantis'.
Claimed	Ley lines demarcate earth energies. These energies are potent at intersections of lines. Ley lines may serve as guides for alien spacecraft. They connect global landmarks like the Pyramids and Stonehenge.
Evidence / consensus	No scientific verification of earth energies; the concept is considered pseudoscience and an article of faith.

> OBSERVER NOTE:
The shift from trade routes to mystical energy conduits was a countercultural rebranding. Dowsing and numerology added no empirical weight.
