Built by ancient astronauts. Just like the pyramids.

I saw the title of this posting, and the first thing that came to my mind was an image of Harry Secombe (aka Neddie Seagoon) moving the stones. Everything went crashingly downhill from there. :)

(I'd enjoy hearing from anyone else interested in Secombe/Milligan/Sellers/Bentine.)

This must have been no easy task,

I suspect just staying alive back then was no easy task!

I've always wondered how nearsighted people managed to do it. Your life depended on your senses and you can't see far away. What a disadvantage. But I guess if you lived long enough you were the only ones who could see up close.

Pickin up my new bifocals on Tuesday. Thank you Mr. Franklin.

The mass grave dates to around the same time and place of the Amesbury Archer, a man from Central Europe who was given the richest burial of the age in Europe. He was found a few years ago, and his grave contained pots, metalworking tools, and the earliest known gold objects in Britain.

Hmmmm...I'd thought the Amesbury Archer was dated about 2300 BC, not 2300 years ago, as with these graves.

Stonehenge: Built by Welshmen?

And were they named Williams?

I saw a documentary when I was very young, that the stones were put there by blue whales that carried the stones on their backs..

Welshmen, who da figured. I thought Stonehenge was built by super strong Pixies.

Andrew Fitzpatrick of Wessex Archaeology told Discovery News that it would be "a phenomenal coincidence" if the origin of the men and the stones were not linked.

Andrew Fitzpatrick of Wessex Archaeology is either not that bright or he is being mis-quoted. If these guys died in 300BC then there is no way they can be the builders and so there is no way the orgins of the men and the stones can be linked.

I still say that Stonehenge was really a tavern.
