The Stonehenge Conspiracy (Old Version)

A sceptical look at some of the "truths" about Stonehenge which turn out to be nothing but assumptions. Were the sarsens transported by Neolithic tribesmen all the way from the Marlborough Downs? No. Were the bluestones transported all the way from Wales as part of some great stone collecting expedition? No. Was Stonehenge ever finished? No -- the builders simply ran out of sarsen stones and bluestones, and after messing about for a while they simply gave up. The bluestones were glacial erratics, transported almost all of the way from Wales by the Irish Sea Glacier. So why is the "human transport myth" kept alive? Well, because the guardians of Stonehenge and the archaeology establishment simply don't want the truth to get in the way of a jolly good (and money-earning) story!

Well, it's prehistoric, and since there are no written records of why or how it was built, all we can do is speculate. And what an industry this speculation has created!!

Note howq the heel stone looks like a buried foot

@peoplesAssembly

OK -- noted.  But what is the supposed significance of this?

Lots of new posts on my blog "Stonehenge Thoughts". If you are interested, take a look -- all comments welcome...

Thanks for those remarks, Sonofherne. As I keep on saying, the word "bluestone" should never have been invented -- the number of different lithologies covered by this umbrella term is now up to 25 or more, and going up all the time........

In every stone building culture and monuments theres always a quarry near by or somewhere to be located. the Pyramids have a quarry area even Easter Island Moai have a quarry area as a proof of the origin of the stones. But in stonehenge theres nothing to be found.

The Pyramids, Easter Island, all the amazing structures in the day that confuse people.. it all makes sense. Giants.

Genesis 6:3-5 - The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

Numbers 13:32-33 - We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”

It's so cool because it's 4,500 years old.
