What’s the sense of studing History until it is all finished?

They just have to keep revising it and that wastes trees.

Great find.
Hope they get time to study it...

"Earlier this month, the government announced funding for a 1.8-mile (2.9km) tunnel to remove congestion from the main road past Stonehenge.
It doesn't need a stinking tunnel.
Just finish widening the road up to the next junction.

Someone doesn’t seem to want the tunnel built. I’m not sure why they want to build a tunnel up there, perhaps they want the surroundings to look pristine.

‘David Jacques, from the University of Buckingham made the discovery at Blick Mead in October, and said the carbon dating results had just been confirmed.’

So then,the nicks in the stone that are there from the making of that flint should be named ‘Buckingham Nicks’:)

I only wish my Scottish Grandfather were alive to read about these new discoveries, he’s the one who taught me what HE knew about Stonehenge. Since then it’s been a lifelong love of mine to read about. But I never anticipated we’d learn so much about it. Just wonderful!

Things like this don't match up with religious teachings ...

The Earth, for instance, is said to be 4.5 billions years old.

Go figure.

I have always been interested in Stonehenge but never learned much about it.

You can get any opinion you want on how they were built and or moved but we still don`t know.
