AHAHA!!! stupid Brits monkeys! Stonehenge is a falsification! fake! forgery!

[BizzyLizzy132]

yes the blue pennant

[sonofherne]

The stonehenge blue stone is a dolerite not sandstone like your pennant. It's a composite of volcanic ash, ryolite and other tuffs. It's a blue black in colour with white flecks.

You know a lot about stone & rocks, it's something I've been interested in since I was at College and was the 'Ex-Curricular' study I chose. I still find it amazing how those stones were formed over the Millenia, 'blows my mind'!

[sonofherne]

Thanks a lot. I work industry so to speak. Stonehenge is my circle. It resonates a lot with me and I also choose to do a lot of study too, primarily neolithic & bronze age burial ritual.

The Stone came from Wales,it is Welsh.

[sonofherne]

No, only the smaller blue stones originate in Wales. The larger sarsen stones are LOCAL!

[Ziggyztarz]

Yes you are right the larger 'Sarsen' stones are local, they had been laying about since the last 'Ice Age' and like the circle at Avebury, they were used to decorate the skyline in a similar fashion.

[sonofherne]

It's a theory that the blue stone may also have also been 'laying around' so to speak since the Ice Age. It's entirely plausible they did not have to go to Preseli to collect the rock. it may have been on the plains or the Brecon Beacons for ages. It takes nothing away from the scale of the construction to think they just cannabalised rock that was freely available, rather than trek over 200 miles across hill, dale and treacherous coastal tides to get such "imperfect" examples of blue stone.

Oops, no trees...

These birds around Stonehenge are probably some of the best tenors... or did you add that yourself?

[sweetjemimer]

probably not, there are some amazing birds on the plains. we walked back from stonehenge this morning at 5 am and you could hear them
