[snip] Irish tradition has it that Stonehenge was built by Blacks from Africa. This may seem unbelievable at first. However, Irish tradition mentions the Formorians, Black giants who came from Africa. Anyone can easily check on the Formorians. Scottish historian David MacRitchie, and English Egyptologist Gerald Massey have all claimed in their works that Blacks were the original inhabitants of the British Isles and that the Tuatha De Danaan and Firbolgs all belonged to the Black race.

“This is the first evidence for social difference and hierarchy at the time of Stonehenge, indicating that the organisation of labour for moving and raising the stones was not egalitarian”
I guess politicians are an old species much like sharks and haven’t evolved in millinia either.
“A find of dozens of antler picks in one section of ditch gives some idea of the size of these work parties”
No doubt this was the result of a wildcat strike by a clan over a breach in union rules. They all dropped their antlers and went home.
Unless their “egalatarian work parties” were much different than any I’m familiar with, the complexity, precision, shear enormity, and STATE OF COMPLETION of the complex are evidence enough for “social difference and hierarchy”.
Also, unless he’s finding copper & other tools, I don’t see how absence of stone tools proves or disproves anything. It was a TEMPORARY village; when they last left, wouldn’t they clean out anything useable or recyclable? Just based on what I still have laying around in the barn & garage ‘just in case I need it’...despite having broken it or lost an obsolete part a couple of moves back.
Also, isn’t 10 out of 300 to 600 houses an awfully small sample to be drawing major generalizations from?
