Yes, most of what you say is true, re: Dating.

Dating sites comes primarily from layer content found around a Monument. Generally, the deeper you go the older it is. Disturbed layers are taken into account. A Coke bottle found next to an Auroch bone is a good example.

Stonehenge presented problems in this regard but these were overcome during the Restorations when datable material was found beneath the Stones. These can only have been put there when the Stone was originally raised.

One problem with their dating claim. You can't A. Carbon Date Stone and B. If you even could it would only give you the age of the stone not when the monument was built from it! It's also no point carbon dating things around the monument to claim it's age, like egyptologists do to claim the age of the pyramids, as any debris/element found around the monument could have been put their any time after the monument was built right up to the present day!

agreed with carbeu sounds about right, look at the egyptions they had a toy plane that was aerodynamic as hell, "how did they figure that out" by learning from examples an trying again an again

@sonofherne cheers for the info i have never heard of aurochs ...thank you

@sonofherne

I get a sense that Aurochs may have been considered semi-sacred in Continental Cultures as well as in Britain (if in fact they were). At the Cave of Horses on the Ardeche in the Massif Central in France, the place is loaded with their images. None dead/none in scenes of hunting. The most recent of those images are 28,000 years ago, so there may have been something to it for enormous lengths of time that we'll never know about.

But the Wessex People almost certainly used Oxen

[sonofherne]

@reksub10 Well, horses hadn't been domesticated at that point and very few were in Britain. The few that were were wild, and ponies. There were indeed oxen, that is true, and they were probably used to do a great deal of work, from farming to moving tool carts, and even manpower. Aurochs were considered very special animals which is why you tend to get their skulls buried at important henge monuments like Stonehenge. We've been given clues there, so why ignore them?

i love how in these program recreations they never show our ancesters using oxen and horses ,even though they could calculate pye they didnt think to use a strong animal to help them move massive stones ...and the ancesters must be awfully cramped in there
