Stonehenge revealed?????

[lost-in-nj]

:shrug:

Based on years of study, the team believes that Stonehenge served as a religious center and a place of healing even before its famous "goal posts" were erected. "A prehistoric 'Lourdes' was set up at Stonehenge," said Geoff Wainwright, president of the Society of Antiquaries and a key proponent of the theory

1. It was the local marketplace

I follow this theory most :)

[GCP]

3. I like the calendar theory

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

30. Makes sense to me also.

Read about this the other day on an obscure site, Interesting stuff.

Excerpt from Nov. 2005~
It didn't take long for the stone age "scientists" to observe that the earthquakes and tsunamis only occurred when the moon was at its most northern or southern extremes, above and below the earth's equator. fig 4. Layout of Stonehenge showing the extremes of the setting sun and moon

Knowing this, and then simply by observing the motions of the moon and sun would allow the stone age Europeans to predict when the massive earthquakes and tsunamis would occur. This was an early ancient "tsunami" warning system. Simply by knowing when the moon would approach an extreme north or south position would allow the stone age inhabitants to temporarily travel to much higher ground and thus escape the impending doomsday disaster.

The proof that this was, in fact, the function of Stonehenge is shown by the fact that the alignments of the five central massive trilithons in the middle of Stonehenge only line up with the extremes of the sun or "solstices" and the extremes of the moon or "lunastices."

The extremes of the moon do occur twice each month, but these are mostly monthly "minor lunastices." Because of the variations of the shape and tilt of the moon's orbit, about every 18.5 years, only then does the moon move to its most extreme north and south motion, or "major lunastice," of 28 degrees above and below the motion of the sun. And that is the most dangerous time for the massive devastating earthquakes and tidal waves.

A recent example is the Indonesian Tsunami Quake which killed 90,000 people. This occurred at the Winter Solstice when the sun was at its most southern extreme, and on the same day when the moon was at its most northern extreme Lunastice of 28.5 degrees on December 26, 2004.

2. The biggest finding:

contrary to popular belief, Stonehenge was NOT 18 inches tall. It is in fact much taller.

[TZ]

5. How do you know that?

Nobody really knows what Stonehedge was or who the builders were or what they were doing...;-)

[Dr. Strange]

7. That's true, nobody knows what Stonehedge was.

However, we are talking about Stonehenge.

That's right, I'm laughing at your typo. Laughing like a Druid who's mixed their meds and alcohol and has to take a trip to Minnesota to meet up with a nipple-loving guitar player.

16. BAAAAAAH!!!!ELEVENS!! Definitely going on the next album!!!!

I'm legally changing my name from "Nigel" to Nipel" :rofl:

[TZ]

dupe

[TZ]

20. .....

Hello...my name is Nipel Pevnel.....:P
And DuStrange is DuVid St. Naughty....;-)

[quip]

23. And you are Jeanine Pevabone!

:D

[TZ]

24. Hey now

What did I ever do to get so insulted...I believe you have misread your horoscope chart on this one....:P

[quip]

26. Are you not going to acknowledge your "Jeaninism?"

:shrug:

[Dr. Strange]

27. She's Jeanini (the twins).

They tend to be pevvy and shilly.

[quip]

33. I love it! Maybe go "Genenini" (to respect the scientist that she is!)

:rofl:

[TZ]

28. Only if you acknowledge your

physical likeness to Derek Smalls.........:evilgrin:

[quip]

32. I quote:

"We’ve got, you know, armadillos in our trousers. I mean it’s really quite frightening..."

[Dr. Strange]

31. DuVid St. Naughty...I LIKE it!

St. Naughty was the patron saint of quality internet porn, if I recall correctly.

[quip]

34. I thought he was patron saint of quality fetishware, but I could be wrong

[htuttle]

8. but their legacy remains...

hewn into the living rock of Stonehenge...

:D

[Dr. Strange]

11. As long as the dwarves don't trod upon it.

:thumbsup:

[htuttle]

14. And where are they now?

...The little people of Stonehenge

And what would they say?
If we were here tonight....


:hi:

[Twillig]

10. Don't make a big thing of it.

(I couldn't resist):-)

[Dr. Strange]

15. So it became a comedy number.

[quip]

17. (3.5 hrs early, but what the hell!) Yes it did! Yes it fucking well did,

and it was not pleasant to be part of the comedy on stage. Backstage, perhaps, it was very amusing.

[Dr. Strange]

18. Maybe we just fix the choreography.

Keep the dwarf clear.

:shrug:

[quip]

19. What do you mean?

:shrug:

[Dr. Strange]

22. So he won’t...

you know: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3140763#3141001

[quip]

25. I don’t think linking is the issue.

I think it’s symptomatic that maybe you’re taking on more than you can...uh...uh.. uh...handle.

[laylah]

4. It has always been my

assumption, via the Druid Runes, that this has been a sacred place since the beginning.

[Fox Mulder]

6. I've always thought that since I first heard about it.

:shrug:

[mdmc]

12. Religious and astrological

:kick:

[L. Coyote]

29. It was the leading comedy club on the island, with the best beakers and brew.

That's what they mean by a place of healing, no doubt :rofl:

On edit: Read "The Motel of Mysteries" for great fantastic fake science. Motel of Mysteries is written in the style of an examination of an archaeological dig - the site being a modern-era motel room, and the humor being the many ways "future" archaeologists misinterpret our artifacts.

[mdmc]

38. sounds like an interesting read

thanks for the recommendation:kick:

[Initech]

9. *Obligatory Spinal Tap reference*

:rofl:

Fuckin' A! Somebody beat me to it!

[Dr. Strange]

13. We have a whole army of DUers who scour the site for any mention of Tap-related things.

But I salute your 18 inch replica.

:patriot:

[quip]

21. It's what the dwarves do, actually, between the Stonehedge numbers....

Oh, God, that is right up there with "Dobly"! :rofc:

[Initech]

35. We had a Stonehenge monument on stage that was about to be crushed by a dwarf!

:rofl:

[quip]

36. I really think you’re just making a much too big thing out of it.

:D :hi:

[madinmaryland]

37. What kind of erection are they having??2??

Apperently it works!!!!
