Interesting.

I bet I know who paid for the archaeology team. It was a Wall Street henge fund.

There was a lot of hype about this last year; but I thought they decided this was once a simple farmers' fence.

The first comment to that article is a nastygram saying this story was published last July.

"And, oh, how they danced, the little children of Stonehenge beneath the haunted moon, or fear that daybreak might come too soon."

[Cicero]

Evidently it’s a set of holes in the ground. It seems extremely doubtful that it would go back to anything like the paleolithic period.

Farmer’s fence seems a likelier explanation, on the face of it.

It looked familiar, but a search for Vince whatshisname turned up nada.

Cool.

[kaehurowing]

Groovy.

[dblup]

Outtasight.

Xylemhenge.

The Voices have told me this is how it went down.

“Ok, you lot, here’s my idea. Trees! It’s the coming thing.

Hey, We’re neolithic guys, right? That’s new or late stone age to the neanderthal and Picts among you?

And we’re trying out this new thing called ‘farming’. I don’t know about you, but if I’m gonna live in one place and grow things to eat I gotta bust my buns from daybreak to setting sun. I got no time to be dragging those bloody great stones fifty miles so I can make it with some henge-poopsie once or twice a year at the solstice.

Right! So here’s the deal. No more bloody blue stones. We’re gonna use tree trunks and take the rest of the year off from henge building-—and the gods and priests can like it or lump it.

With three foot diameter fence posts they must have been raising mastodons. lol

Jurassic Park, the prequeal.

Excellent
