GGG Ping.
Cue the creepy theremin music!
I hope they didn’t draw the plans on a cocktail napkin.
That's really funny since the remains predate the historical Druids, with whom the modern-day variety only share a name.
“Druids said the circle was sacred and should be left intact to preserve its mystical energies.”
their political clout is limited these days, especially as the site would have decayed in pretty short order once it went above the surface for any amount of time.

Oh, for peat's sake.
Photos?
The
dinosaurs built Stonehenge.
"Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was marsh. Other kings said I was daft to build a sacred circle on a marsh, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the marsh. So, I built a second one. That sank into the marsh. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the marsh, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest sacred circle in these islands."
Link to video. It is very interesting.
Or just click on the EDP24 at the beginning of the thread is probably easier.
Oh brother, what a fruitcake
An interesting part of the video showed a log with a fork in it that the archeologist said was part of the entrance where you’d have to squeeze through and under to get inside the ring.
The log looked remarkably like a female torso and legs complete with a navel. Hmmm...
Now, if you were some kind of symbolist, you’d think perhaps of entering the ring under this log as a rebirth or a return to the womb or who knows what would have run through the minds of neolithic men—or perhaps women.
On the other hand, it could have been built as just a beach cabana for the King. It’s good to be the King.
Has the idiot doing the microscopy ever hear of resharpening? I use a wood chipper at work with Steel blades (a much harder metal) the blades must be resharpened at least once per 40 hours of use.
“but I don’t want to marry, father.’
This proves it.
It was an ancient Wal-mart and she was just protesting.
Daryl Hannah?
Woodhenge, a 125 m circle of evenly-spaced and cardinally-aligned posts, evidences an alignment to solstice sunrises with displacement of the center post. At the latitude of Cahokia, the solstice azimuth spans near 1/6th of circumference; the precise latitude of this coincidence is south of Cahokia. Woodhenge's center post is displaced eastward so the two posts at 30 degrees north and south of due east align to a wider angle, that of winter and summer solstice sunrises.
