The good ole “Blaze” we can see a half dozen articles on a topic during a week here, and then the “Blaze” always has their CLICK ON ME, ME, ME, headline that makes it sound like a new, more exciting topic, way to go Glenn Beck.

Does anyone else notice The Blaze refers to everything as “Stunning” “Shocking” Surprising” “Astounding” “Astonishing”

I don’t go to that website. Too many wretched pop-ups and auto-play videos. It’s a coding mess.

"...and then the “Blaze” always has their CLICK ON ME, ME, ME,"

And the clicks (when they do work) take forever.

Hard to believe that this is the first time they’ve run GPR. They’re waaaaaay behind the times.

Probably building materials used in the main construction. This might explain it.

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100219164105AA14qnU

The larger ‘sarsen’ stones at Stonehenge are much heavier, but they come from much closer to hand, ssome 18 miless away. The main difficulty for the builders would have been been in finding enough sarsens of sufficient size - a Stonehenge built to its full design needs 79 of them. The older megalithic circles and avenues of Avebury would have already used up several hundred. Many of the sarsens at Stonehenge have very little of their length underground for foundation support, and Stonehenge does not seem to have been completed to its intended design. Did they run out of stones?

They’re always so fascinated with the details of feckless sun god worship. They need to get a clue.

Are you saying they weren’t stoned enough to finish the project?

The Druids had nothing to do with Stonehenge

Druids were just Danites.

Agree.

They’re just covering up for their lack of substance in the articles.

My wife despises that movie. One of my favorites, though.
