If you had a super thingy, designed to do awesome things, wouldn't you try to keep it on a need to know basis? - TVarmy, on 08/31/2008, -4/+60I bet Stonehenge was like CERN back in the day. You don't want any jerk to walk in and start shooting strange matter and black holes all over the place. Gotta have some security! I assume this, because like the LHC, I have no idea what stonehenge was for.
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -3/+54Maybe it was to keep out the "stoners"?
- Pzycho, on 08/31/2008, -1/+30They had to make due with woodhenge.
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -3/+25Duh guys... stonehenge is a UFO landing pad... Every1 knows that.
- tjallen, on 08/31/2008, -3/+23So even back in the day the majority of people had no clue what Stonehenge was.
- Ecaftar, on 08/31/2008, -1/+21http://www.instantrimshot.com/ is clearly needed here.
- kingofinternet, on 08/31/2008, -0/+17yes i'm sure that's it. they made it up just to make white people feel ashamed.
- gldfshnpcklejar, on 08/31/2008, -8/+24This sounds like scientologists hiding the xenu secrets from lesser people. What pricks!
- LokitheComplex, on 08/31/2008, -2/+17In fact it was an early version of Glastonbury - a fenced off rock festival.........
I'll get my coat. - Dunge, on 08/31/2008, -0/+15Rock technology... that's amazing.
- TheDarkstarter, on 08/31/2008, -3/+17Elitist bastards!
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -4/+172000 years ago they kicked me out of the medical community for hiding big rocks from poor people
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -0/+13or maybe you suck at life?
- TheDarkstarter, on 08/31/2008, -1/+12That's right, don't trust anybody with a fancy degree from some fancy college.
- metamorfoza, on 08/31/2008, -0/+10WOOSH (that is a sound of a joke not colliding with your brain matter)
- TheKillDoctor, on 08/31/2008, -0/+9FTA "The dig's co-director Dr Josh Pollard, of Bristol University, said: "The construction must have taken a lot of manpower."
and the lower class were the people who were probably hired to build it. - RMoore08, on 08/31/2008, -1/+9Wouldn't the wall block the sun from doing its thing to the stones? If it was indeed used for astronomy?
- arjie, on 08/31/2008, -1/+9Sorry, you are too low a class. Collect 52 tail of rat, 4 skin of cow and 1 druid's robe.
- CATSCEO2, on 08/31/2008, -0/+8WTF?
- kaskarn, on 08/31/2008, -0/+7damn right. Can't afford to let anyone tinker with the finest technological equipment available.
- KingGorilla, on 08/31/2008, -2/+9well said
- LeonidasStokely, on 08/31/2008, -10/+17And now it's just being hidden from Hippy nutjobs. That's what I call progress!
- kaskarn, on 08/31/2008, -0/+6does this have to be a class warfare issue? Why not just a "protect our sacred site from animals at night" thing or "have a bit of privacy" idea?
- wronski, on 08/31/2008, -0/+6Is that really "the most plausible explanation" for why a wall must have been there?
- poprocksandsoda, on 08/31/2008, -1/+6This is damned appropriate as I'll be at Stonehenge next week.
- zcreem, on 08/31/2008, -2/+7You haven't been to our Chavish isle have you?
- double051, on 08/31/2008, -0/+5FTA: "Stonehenge, which today is can be enjoyed by ordinary people and druidic priests alike"
- cygnus2112, on 08/31/2008, -0/+5I like the gold exclamation mark above your head.
- bigcynic, on 08/31/2008, -0/+4It was walled off because they charged admission.
- Lynxpro, on 09/01/2008, -0/+4They performed human sacrifices at the 'Henge. So they probably ritualistically killed their hippies. Damn, the ancients were smart.
- cdigioia, on 08/31/2008, -0/+4I wonder if "hired" is the proper term.
- Justice101, on 09/01/2008, -0/+4Just wait till you hear about Bronze. It'll blow your ***** mind!
- apastafarian, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3Don't you just love when archeologists don't have a clue, so they just make ***** up?
- Lynxpro, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3...the UK equivalent would be the "Labour Party". Nice try though.
- diggdiggerid, on 08/31/2008, -1/+4where is this meme from? it seems pretty new.
- joshman5k, on 08/31/2008, -1/+4The British are sooo posh!
- wolfkeeper, on 08/31/2008, -0/+3I'm sorry but what I do with my super thingy's designed to do awesome things is on a need to know basis, so I can't tell you that.
- TaintBrush, on 09/01/2008, -0/+118" Stonehenge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXGbwIkvh38
- BotchaMcCoola, on 08/31/2008, -0/+2If the less affluent folk had to stand outside and listen to the strange screams of pain and passion then they likely resolved to work harder and save up for next year. Thus arose the famous European hard work ethic.
- Lynxpro, on 09/01/2008, -0/+2Well, I guess that goes to show that the institution of "class" in Britain is of ancient design and even predates the Anglo-Saxon - and Roman - invasions. So much for the Celts being a groovy bunch.
- zcreem, on 08/31/2008, -2/+4Britain is hidden from the lower classes as it a always has been and always will be until we get The New Jerusalem Blake spoke off.
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my charriot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land. - TheCatsPants, on 09/01/2008, -0/+2Whenever a group of people has been singled out as 'special', or 'different' from the rest, there has been a concept of class. Probably can find examples in other social animals.
- justanto, on 09/01/2008, -0/+2They don't know that! It is just speculation. There is no profe and there can be no profe of this; they need to stop pretending that they can just make stuff up and it will be unfalably correct. Rituals and religion tend to be very complex and unlogical thus they are not something you can figure out by looking at pots or a wall.
- MadHarvey, on 09/01/2008, -0/+2No my friends. No, no no. You don't understand. The fence was there to keep IT in. We can only hope you did not disturb its ancient, unholy slumber.
- MorganMghee, on 09/01/2008, -0/+2I'm with you, nothing in the article explains well enough to me how that is a good explanation for what they found. Maybe there is more to it, but that article doesn't lend itself to it if there is.
- neurobox, on 09/01/2008, -0/+2@Lynxpro:
Makes sense the elites probably didn't want the masses knowing about the ritual sacrifices... they just wouldn't "understand." - doom777, on 08/31/2008, -0/+2I like your comparison. "Pig or virgin"
- blast_flame, on 08/31/2008, -0/+2More possible than you make think. it is speculated that a second woodern stone henge existed a short distance away.
