Stonehenge 5,000 Years Older Than Thought

[hunter]

21. Ancient stories are lost at a tremendous rate even today.

A characteristic of modern humans is story telling. These stories define much of our thought and culture. Without the written word a story is lost when the last story teller stops telling it. Even written stories are not especially durable. People claim the internet never forgets, but stories fade there too.

Of those stories that remain, or the stories represented by the archaeological artifacts a culture leaves behind, most have origins rooted in times "prehistoric" to the current date of attribution.

Something happened at Stonehenge a long time ago, before the stones were raised, before the large wooden posts were erected, that is the actual wellspring of a story long lost and maybe actively suppressed by subsequent cultures.

It could be anything -- psychoactive mushrooms, meteors, a prophet, charlatan, a Tardis, or yes, even aliens (some speculations much less likely than others.) The archeology itself is a story too.

Thanks for posting this.
