Stonehenge Builders Got Their Rocks Off... from 180 Miles Away?


Recommended Posts

They knew that the stones weren't from around the site, but now have pinpointed it.  Previously, leading candidates were within 50 miles or so (which is still a lot).  No other Neolithic site anywhere in Europe had stones from more than 10 miles.  Western Wales was on the map but there was no evidence to separate it from anywhere else with bluestones.

I'm telling you though, aliens did it.  I hope they're hot.

Yeah saw a special on this a couple months ago. I thought they said they found the quarry site with a major degree of certainty.

That actually is pretty old news from several years ago.

kinda unhinging though.

Had they found the actual site, or had they just narrowed it down to the region where the stone must have come from ?

Saw a documentary that showed an archeologist at the original quarry.

Y'all are just assuming they took a few rocks from Wales to build Stonehenge. How would you react if I told you the rocks all started at Stonehenge, and they took all those rocks to Wales, except for a few that they left standing in a circle?

Some tart in the lake handing a bloke a sword is no way to determine who has authority over a people! The rocks HAVE TO BE BLUEEEEE they said.

Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

You would think if it was some super advanced alien civilization that did this, they would have made something that looked a lot more cool instead of this piece of shit rock heap.

erosion's done its work:

Brah, do you not get the rustic design aesthetic ?

In fairness, it looked like this when the aliens left.

But since humans have repeatedly shown the ability to fuck up a steel ball with a rubber hammer, you end up with what they have today.

the same aliens did this shit that did easter island.  aliens love big rocks. 

Then they got lazy and started making shapes in British farm fields. Next it will be butter sculpture.

Declining alien work ethic.
