Re: Solving Stonehenge Debate

Hmm... OK but it doesn't answer the key question for me. Was Stonehenge built by aliens?

(And I don't mean the French.)

I mean, what was it for and how did they get the big lintels up there? And where did the stone actually come from. An authority no less than Eddie Izzard asserts they were dragged from Wales over a period of years. Is that right?

I mean, all the discussion of Aubrey Holes is good but the rest of us really want the bigger picture - aliens and stuff. And who was the diety of Stonehenge?

I should clarify a vested point of interest here incidentally. I'm all for the establishment of a Lord Summerisle style community in England complete with copulating couples in disused churchyards and nekkid ladies jumping over flames. Present religion has become somewhat jaded compared to what is offered on C5 most nights so I think a spiritual revival is called for even if it annoys the Pope and that other bloke in Canterbury. And, I mean, Lord Summerisle had some pretty good ideas didn't he? And I liked his dress sense.

Sorry, I need to finish now. There's a couple of blokes waiting outside to take me back to the clinic.
