STONEHENGE DECODED "FANTASTIC FINDS"

[lowmonte1978]

i like how all the sudden everyone becomes an Archeologist when they watch this lol !

[gogogeedus]

The reason you don't find many ancient copper tools is because the metal was more sought after and was re-smelter-ed after the tools were worn out.

look up goseck circle and learn that the garmenys were the most advance in solar observation during the neolthic

[sonofherne]

@abarrathe You troll! LoL Try spelling Germany correctly first. Second, Goseck isn't comparable with Stonehenge. It isn't even a megalithic monument. It has no stones. Yes, Goseck is an interesting and old site, but Germany ain't the centre of the universe! Try looking at Mesopotamia. Far older temples, far more impressive than an earthen ring. You seem to want to make some kind of point bombing every SH link with this material. Do you work there or is this a "mine is bigger than yours" thing?

@ElegantPaws01 well said

[ElegantPaws01]

I am curious as to why3 to 6 thousand years ago, in key areas of the Earth vast stone monuments were built. They must have served a purpose. They even exist under water in Japan and in China, South America, Africa....all roughly the same time period. Someone needs to figure out why? There was something common to all these cultures and land masses going on. It wasn't anomalous that this happened. It did serve a purpose. Why...and more to the point, why did this unwritten culture disappear...

Why was luwullewa's this comment removed, anti orthodox was it?

[luwullewa]

@Revival1969 - I don't recall my comment being unorthodox. I'm not even sure what would constitute 'orthodox' when discussing relatively undefinable prehistory.

Oh well, "whatever I said, what ever i did, i didn't mean it"... Oh no, wait that's song lyrics :]

what was stonehenge, I suppose we are no nearer finding out as we are about mosses

[1980cossie]

In Bolivia at Puma Punku they had steel and iron mortices locking giant stones together back in 17,000 - 15,000 BC just before the last nuclear anhilation of the great civilisation of old. Something they forgot to add to the school text books. A little like the sphinx alinged with the constellation Leo back in 12,500 BC. The Proccesional wobble sure was a great discovery..

[sonofherne]

@1980cossie Either their radiocarbon dates are WILDLY out or you got the wrong end of the stick. Maybe you should try going back to school if you believe this, or maybe that's the problem. I wonder what kids actually do learn in these establishments these days.

Britain also is a land of tin. At one time it was the world's leading supplier of tin. If they could make copper tools, they probably could have made stronger alloys as well. This is not beyond the realm of possibilities.

We are at this stage of History like babies who are beginning to crawl.... we still have thousands of years yet, to became really full developed!

[ritchie169]

I had a lecture at his class already. The guy knows some good materials. well done

[lisaprikk]

Ha-Ha, maybe stonehenge where a graveyard for the big men like kings and shamans x) or maybe it was a place of sacrafice for their Gods or ancestors x)

[PNA853]

anyone else ever thought maybe Stonehenge started as like say a miniature mountain of rock then they just cut into it ? haha

he was my lecturer at sheffield univeristy for roman and iron age archaeology! was always in the pub, and we used to go down and get him... sometimes, we'd go back to the pub after the lecture and have a very informal tutorial :P

[pddwatch81]

I like the way you can hear the ropes creaking! ;)

[truthspeaker969]

read the ancient myths, they let the stones fly,

didn´t need crappy ropes...

[tcoc112233]

wow so they lifted 40 tons with hundreds of men and ropes and moved them with rafts? ha ha and they are all surprised that they had metal tools? Big surprise secular history and science doesn't know crap about our real origins. That is why everyone is so lost. that is why "LOST" is the most watched and downloaded television on CBS and nobody even knows why they call CBS COLUMBIA BROADCASTING,

[sonofherne]

@tcoc112233 No, the ones moved by raft weigh 4-6tons only. These are the bluestones from Wales (150miles) The larger stones you see are a different geology of rock, those are the ones that weigh between 20-50 tons. These came across land from up to 20 miles away. Before you leap to conclusions be sure you have your basic facts right.

[GoldenSilence16]

@sonofherne I swear im like the only one who is seeing the huge issue with people moving 4-6ton STONES over water...keeping in mind they didnt have giant cruise ships <_<

[sonofherne]

@GoldenSilence16 Don't be. I was around to see this recreated back in the 90's when they tried to transport a bluestone by raft from Milford Haven. It's possible. Okay, it's not EASY, and the modern attempt failed, but there are several proposed routes they could have taken. Some more easier than others. I have doubts whether the whole trip was infact done by river, only part of the way.

[sonofherne]

@sonofherne .And remember too, that people were using boats. A large seafaring bronze age ship was found at Dover. After all, Britain, being an Island, had to be reached by water by all but its earliest settlers. The people who arrived in the neolithic would have come by boat,with their possessions and even animals, from the Atlantic coat of Europe.

[Revival1969]

@sonofherne Try moving a 1000 ton statue in Egypt or a 1000+ ton block in Baalbek then, impossible without breaking it apart, the ancients knew how to easily move massive stone blocks, use them to make complicated structures, and today we can not. Orthodox history is utter bollocks.

[sonofherne]

@Revival1969 An inability to answer a question as to how something like the stone at Baalbek, an estimated 1,200 tons, simply means that there are things we don't understand, not, that history is bollocks. I am well aware of how smart the ancient prehistoric people were so I don't understand what youre trying to impress on me.I agree.We're discussing Stonehenge at the minute & the average weight of each stone is between 20-48 tons, 5 tons for the bluestones. 10 tons = 100 men needed on average.

[barkershill]

@GoldenSilence16 Moving a block of stone that size is not so difficult . I have a Guidebook for stonehenge circa 1960 witha photo of six teenagers using two small boats lashed side by side to transport a full sze concrete replicea of a bluestone up river . they were just poling the craft along . 16 of them could drag it over land using logs as rollers.

[barkershill]

@sonofherne Your comment is spot on
