In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history. There lived a strange race of people...the Druids. No one knows who they were, or what they were doing... but their legacy remains... hewn into the living rock of Stonehenge... Stonehenge, where the demons dwell Where the banshees live and they do live well Stonehenge Where a man is a man and the children dance to the pipes of pan Stonehenge Tis a magic place where the moon doth rise With a dragon's face Stonehenge Where the virgins lie And the prayer of devils fill the midnight sky And you my love, won't you take my hand We'll go back in time to that mystic land Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow I will take you there I will show you how

I thought Amazons were supposed to be virgins.Not according to Herodotus (but I don't think he ever actually met any Amazons).

Because, when the Spanish arrived, the natives were considered big to the Spaniards (probably similar to how country people in the Middle Ages tended to be taller than city folk).
