Archaeologists have begun a major dig to unearth the hidden mysteries of a buried ancient stone circle site that is ten times bigger than Stonehenge.

The enormous 4,000 year old Marden Henge, in Wiltshire, is Britain's largest prehistoric structure stretching for 10.5 hectares, the equivalent of 10 football pitches.

English Heritage is carrying out a six-week dig hoping to reveal the secrets behind the giant henge which has baffled historians for centuries.

Bauval's stuff doesn't have any basis in the ancient texts (for that matter, neither does the Sothic Period); his dodge is to claim that the pyramids are so old that no texts have survived. That's what's called, not thinking things through. :')

But regardless, nice catch! The Iraqi impact crater may be related to the dated strata of impact-induced crap which is about 2400 BC I think. Let's see what's down a few layers in the hard drive.
Causes And Effects Of The
2350 BC Middle East Anomaly
Evidenced By Micro-debris Fallout,
Surface Combustion And Soil Explosion

by Marie-Agnes Courty
Occurrence in a previously recorded thick tephra deposit of particles identical to some of the mysterious layer and resemblance of its original pseudo-sand fabric with the exploded one of the mysterious layer confirms that the later is contemporaneous with the tephra deposit It has been however impossible to find typical tephra shards in sites located at a few km around the one with the tephra deposit The restricted occurrence of the later suggests that the massive tephra accumulation can no longer be considered as a typical fallout derived from the dispersion of material from a terrestrial volcanic explosion.

Seven English pitches = 1 American throw

Roughly one throw = a punt or 2/3 a place kick

"I recall you posted something about a mile or two diameter meteor crater found in Iraq with the draining of the marshes that is also about 4,000 years old, possible cause?"

Posted nine years ago...hmmmm.

What also makes Stonehenge special, though not unique (there are other representations in different sizes and media around the world), is its almost exact replication of the discharge pattern of a high-current zeta-pinch aurora. In addition, there are various artifacts and petroglyphs numbering in the millions around the world that reproduce a wide variety of visual instabilities manifested by plasma instabilities. See Characteristics for the Occurrence of a High-Current Z-Pinch Aurora as Recorded in Antiquity, IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, Vol 31, No 6, December, 2003, p. 1212. There's a download link to this and other related papers at http://public.lanl.gov/alp/plasma/papers.html.

Here is the abstract of this paper. There are other, more recent ones, with a lot more information.
Abstract—The discovery that objects from the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age carry patterns associated with high-current Z-pinches provides a possible insight into the origin and meaning of these ancient symbols produced by man. This paper directly compares the graphical and radiation data from high-current Z-pinches to these patterns. The paper focuses primarily, but not exclusively, on petroglyphs. It is found that a great many archaic petroglyphs can be classified according to plasma stability and instability data. As the same morphological types are found worldwide, the comparisons suggest the occurrence of an intense aurora, as might be produced if the solar wind had increased between one and two orders of magnitude, millennia ago.
Index Terms—Aurora, high-energy-density plasma, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) instabilities, petroglyphs, pictographs, stonehenge, Z-pinch.

They obviously downsized to Stonehenge to reduce carbon emissions.

That, or maybe it really was trampled by dwarves.

(obscure Spinal Tap reference...)

I understand your comment #42, but I am mystified about what you mean I have done? Please clarify, thanks.

I tried to bring up your first reference by Ms. Courty, but it came up as “Not Found”. Can you locate and repost?
