Stonehenge is a henge constructed from massive stones.

The function is as an astronomical observatory to tell time

The precession of the earth’s axis and rotation are the only time constants to be reliable year after year after decade

In America, years later, the residents at the city of Cahokia built a wood henge that was correlated with the various permanent mounds to accurately tell time. At the time it was built, Cahokia was more populous than London

I doubt that 5000 years ago when mankind was worried about shelter, food and survival that they decided to have a Kumbaya moment and build some monument to our unification of widely distributed groups of people.

I place more belief that this was built as a future NFL team stadium. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah. Theodoric of York just threw a 20 ton stone on his cart and hauled it down there.

I totally wild guess and it really “solves” nothing.

What a headline. It sounds like they found the memo. And these are supposed to be scientists?

The publication was in something called “Archaeology International”, which sounds straight Marxist.

Food was better, too. Beer, not as good.
