    True. But when it is marketed as "authentic" and then a bunch of "scientists" use its AGE to validate other ridiculous "scientific theories", we have a very very big problem.

    Well, the sphinx is 100% fake, but that's a whole different topic.

    So it's not as successful as Disney, but that doesn't mean it's not an attempt at a tourist trap.

    There are accounts of Stonehenge from antiquity. One common legend, which goes back to the first millennium, states that Merlin used magic to levitate the stones into place.

    Wiki is not a source anyone would ever take seriously, though.

    Not sure what you think this proves.... But, sure.

    yeah, next you'll tell us that the Earth is flat and the Sun revolves around the Earth.

    Merlin was fictitional character, created in relatively recent times. His character's tales were SET in the dark ages, but the dark ages are pretty much a myth.

    Not sure where you're headed with this.

    I've already written all about that in other posts.

    No need to try to associate this thread with those ones.

    Please stay on topic before I report you for attempting, rather transparently, to flame bait me.

    What do you have to say about the images from the 1930s, when the stones weren't anywhere to be seen on the site?

    Stonehenge has nothing to do with Druids who were Iron Age people-much, much later arrivals than the Stone Age men who first erected the stones. Furthermore by the beginning of the 20th century there had been so much exploratory excavation done at the site that stones had sunk and overturned. Restoration work was carried out to restore toppled stones to the vertical. There is nothing remotely fake about Stonehenge; I live less than 100 miles from it. Sorry but your absurd theory has zero substance.

    Rons drawings really made it click. I figured out the mystery of Stonehenge. It was the worlds first bunjy swing park. Is there a prize?

    According to the above article it is 96% base pairs, although genes are implied. The above article confuses genes with nucleotides. It only takes one base pair mutation to make the 3000 base pair (on average) long gene different. So when you count up different genes, man and apes may be 50% different.

    Archaeological evidence suggests that the site was reconfigured several times BC. Which configuration is the "authentic" one in your mind? Sure it is a tourist trap, but it is still an important archaeology site about which new things are still being discovered. If you are upset they stabilized the formation, don't go. It will make the line shorter for the people who do go. Go see the Mayan ruins instead because surely those are untouched by modern hands :roll:

    Everyone takes it seriously you simply ignore any and all evidence which trumps your delusions.

    As always you are proven wrong

    Is Stonehenge a tourist scam? Is that why the classic caricature Englishman was called John Bull?

    stone1.jpg

    Above: This picture shows workers on the site in 1901 in a restoration which caused outrage at the time but which is rarely referred to in official guidebooks. For it means that Stonehenge, jewel in the crown of Britain's heritage industry, is not all it seems. Much of what the ancient site's millions of visitors see in fact dates back less than 50 years.

    Above: Picture dated 1958 depicting cranes lifting stones into position.

    Gasp! Historic cleansing is alleged. http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/cosmicstonehenge.htm

    I heard about this 'superhenge' a couple of weeks ago.

    Pretty cool.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://io9.com/archaeologists-have-made-an-incredible-discovery-at-sto-1632927903

    Using powerful ground-penetrating radar,

    investigators working around Stonehenge

    have detected a trove of previously

    unknown burial mounds, chapels, shrines,

    pits — and most remarkable of all — a

    massive megalithic monument made up of

    more than 50 giant stones buried along a

    1,082-foot-long c-shaped enclosure.

    This news is unreal — and it's resetting

    virtually everything we thought we knew

    about Stonehenge. Just a week after finding

    out that Stonehenge was once a complete

    circle, archaeologists from Birmingham and

    Bradford universities, and from the Ludwig

    Boltzman Institute in Vienna, have

    shattered the image of Stonehenge as a

    desolate and lonely place.

    After four years of painstaking effort, and

    by using a magnetometer, a ground-

    penetrating radar (GPR), and a 3D laser

    scanner, archaeologists have shown that

    Stonehenge was once a sprawling complex

    that extended for miles.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    And then there's the previously unknown

    "super henge," a monument located just

    two miles from Stonehenge. Scans suggest

    that each buried stone is about three

    meters (10 feet) long and 1.5 meters (5

    feet) wide. The stones are positioned

    horizontally, not vertically, but it's

    conceivable that they originally stood

    upright like other standing stones. The

    archaeologists suspect they were brought

    to the site shortly before 2,500 BC.

    Clap if you believe in conspiracy theories!

    Sorry, boys and girls. I've seen/read enough about this to be convinced that the ancients did mine/haul and erect these massive monoliths to waste any time on this claptrap.
