Stonehenge Unhinged

Stonehenge was never finished. It always was a partly-finished ruin, abandoned by its builders because they ran out of stones, ran out of energy, and took on something that they were incapable of finishing. The builders were indecisive, changing their plans (and their stone settings) over and again. About 67 big stones are entirely missing, and the geometry of the monument is very imperfect. There is just one conclusion -- that the "immaculate Stonehenge" of a thousand reconstructions is nothing but a fantasy and a myth.

Reconstructions of ancient monuments are none too easy -- frowned upon by the powers that be. Anyway, there aren't enough stones.....

Brian, using your 'if its not there it never existed' remains theory, could you list me all the 'whole' prehistoric monuments of Britain or even the World??

If you find that impossible - we'll accept Roman Buildings instead - they employed Irish builders as well I believe - shame none of them ever got finished!

Lol!! - Unhinged is apt title.

@Nakedarchaeologist I'm simply trying to apply some logic here, for this particular ancient monument. The archaeologists assume -- almost without exception -- that the monument was completed in its pristine or "immaculate" form. I'm questioning that assumption, and asking what the EVIDENCE on the ground actually shows us. It shows us a drastically incomplete monument with many empty stone holes and signs of indecision and re-setting of many stones. And scores of stones missing.

[Nakedarchaeologist]

Too many poor assumptions Brian!

Its a wreck as its 10,000 years old, even the pyramids in their dry climate look a 'bit shabby'. As for the lack of stones, you clearly had a bad experience with a 'doggy builder' in the past, for only about 2 larger Saracen stones 9 Lintels are missing.

When you buy my new book in the autumn 'Dawn of the Lost Civilisation' you will find an illustration explaining that it was a 'crescent moon' monument, built within a representation of the sun 'the moat'. RJL

@Nakedarchaeologist Well, you're welcome to your opinions, Robert. You call them assumptions -- I call them well-based and carefully considered conclusions. Time will tell which one of us is on the ball, and which one is out with the fairies!

Only 11 sarsens missing? Come off it -- even the archaeologists admit to far more than that which are missing and which in my view were never there in the first place.

.... and without skeptics we would still think the earth is flat, and that our little planet is the centre of the universe. Not a bad idea to think a bit now and then, instead of simply believing in fantasies.

Stonehenge was created as a meeting place for people who practice witchcraft. Europe before was full of BS when it comes to that.

The World is Flat; I have seen the evidence, I lived in Holland Which boasts the

World's smallest Waterfall at a mere 1.03 Millimetres..Even its lakes are Flat..

You Sir..Are a Poorly Constucted Shambles..

[realityexplorations]

@plasingli actually it was skeptics who were shouting the earth is flt and we are center of universe, its only every been those who think outside so called accepted norms that push us forward, for instance theres not really one shred of evidence that the ancient eygptions buildt the pyramids they lived by. not one hiroglyph states they built them, they talk of them being built by what they called the sun gods, but not once did they say they built them,

[realityexplorations]

this idiot fails to mention the sun and moon winter and summer solstice goes right through the middle of stonge henge 

[gloalath]

why hasnt anyone ever wanted to finish it? there has to be some significance to someone out there to finish it
