Whales, my eye.

Everybody knows that Stonehenge was built by dinosaurs

Well yeah, but it wasn’t called Stonehenge. It’s name was some unpronounceable, 49 letter, consonants only “word.”

There was an old Hagar the Horrible comic strip where he and his sidekick Lucky Eddie were standing in the middle of Stonehenge and Hagar said "Look, this was built to last all of time so that nobody would forget the people who built it" and Lucky Eddie says "Who built it?". Hagar: "Nobody knows"

I wish I'd clipped it.

Is this the guy who came up with the theory?

Because I think he also came up with some theories regarding the Battle of Trafalgar.

I wonder if this was a tribal effort or came down from a leader of the group.

If it was a consensus of opinion having to do with their spiritual beliefs or due to a need for safety.

Also, I wonder if they left any buried behind, bones or bodies as it has been thought Stonehenge might be to honor the dead.

I doubt they know what they are talking about. You can’t use carbon dating on rocks. It only works on dead, but former living, things:

Carbon-14 is an unstable isotope of carbon, Carbon-12 being the stable form. Living things, being made of carbon to a large extent, have a ratio of carbon-12 to carbon-14 which is the same throughout life. But once they die and stop eating, the carbon-14 decays slowly to an isotope of nitrogen, with a half-life of maybe 6000 years. Of course, the nitrogen goes into the atmosphere. Over time, the ratio changes to have more and more carbon-12 represented. After some years, all of the carbon-14 has decayed, leaving only carbon-12 represented. After that time, carbon dating is not available.

It is more likely that Stonhenge was built right where it is now, using rocks quarried from another place. Probably the heavy stones were moved just the same way as the blocks that make up the pyramids, by extraterrestrials. LOL.

Or, and more likely - it was prefabricated in Wales. It doesn’t make sense to ship the raw material. More weight, and a chance that fabrication will destroy the piece you just shipped at a great expense. As today, it makes far more sense to fabricate it in the yard before shipping it to it’s destination.

That’s the problem with science types. a lack of real-world experience often causes them to postulate erroneously. Like their declaration that the stones were moved by manpower over corduroy roads. Insanity.

Good grief, they moved it?
