Hope the carver didn’t give up his day job.

Doesn’t sound like a religious place to me, just a place to party ... drink, eat and practice debauchery. Kegger anyone?

Just what I suspected all along, Stonehenge was a duck blind.

They were illiterate, so they used little figurines of ducks to show that they were covered by AFLAQ.

The ducks were likely, say the team, to be a result of the Bronze Age tradition of carving animal figurines which were then thrown into water as offerings.

Where do they come up with these theories?

I'd go with rabbit. Better fertility offering...

Sunken Civ, thanks for posting this about Stonehenge. I love these articles.

Remember when they found the stone carving of a hedgehog at Stonehenge? Buried with the child? I think this is a fascinating discovery, because it shows these ancient people obviously had a spiritual belief of sorts.

Wonder what their beliefs were?
