Hm........ April Fools Day passed more than 100 days ago.
In 2500 BC, civilization was cantered in the Mesopotamian Cradle among the Akkadians, Babylonians and Persians;
England and Englishmen didn’t exist and Stonehenge, whatever its merits, has never reminded anyone of the Parthenon.
The Internet, while a useful tool, is the spawn of every absurd and crack-pot nostrum that man can conjure up. Then instantly circulated w/o review or reflection by that gatekeeper of knowledge, truth and wisdom; the media, eternally needy of attention. Beyond ridiculous.
If you don’t like Stonehenge of 2,200BC, maybe Maeshowe in Scotland of 2,800BC or Newgrange in Dublin, Ireland of 3,200BC (both winter solstice) or Brynn Celli 4,000BC (summer solstice) is more to your liking? Newgrange reflects the same advanced engineering, architectual and astronomical knowledge, complete with a shining white fascade, corbelled roof, and a light show to rival the oldest pyramid - which it predates, btw. How could Newgrange be built other than by a comfortable stratified civilization supported by agriculture and tied to a common cause by ordered customs?
Persians used to survey large areas using acoustic means. So did the Druids, according to Julius Ceasar. The pyramids are aligned intentionally. How can we then dispute that Stonehenge, Newgrange, and hundreds of other sites with observatories, monoliths and dolmans were not also intelligently aligned? Knowing the stars is knowing how to navigate. And knowing the stars involves higher thinking than some wandering savage running around with a club looking for a rodent to eat.
Greece had an advantage being close to three developing civilizations so that ideas and texts could be shared and preserved even through disasters. And there was a neverending labor pool - labor being the biggie. Maybe the eruption of Helka or Laki or some other natural catastrophe brought about the collapse of agriculture and knowledge in the North or maybe it was biological. But it’s indisputable the English have been around as long, if more isolated, and if only traces of their advanced knowledge remain just as only traces of many civilizations remain.
Sometime in ancient history, large groups of genetic A111T babies jumped out of the ME/India cradle, ran to distant shores, and developed ordered civilizations. The Tree of Knowledge wasn’t just a tree. Man was much more intelligent, in many more places than we give him credit for, including northern europe and England.
