- ddrirc, on 06/12/2009, -16/+2516,000 years?! So that's where Adam and Eve were buried...
- stevenberry54, on 06/12/2009, -0/+16215 miles? "found next to" is a slight understatement... if they were found a few feet away, under the feet of countless thousands of tourists every year... that would be amazing..
- Lust4Me, on 06/12/2009, -2/+132"located on the land of a local female farmer"
You can farm females!? - mikeinto, on 06/12/2009, -3/+117Stories like this is why I digg.
- TheScotsman1980, on 06/12/2009, -3/+9515 miles seems pretty far considering the time it was built.
- papile, on 06/12/2009, -1/+38"The Neolithic tombs, which until now had gone unnoticed under farmland despite being just 15 miles from Stonehenge, are some of the oldest monuments to have been found in Britain. "
This headline is really misleading. just 15 miles away?! A radius of 15 miles around something is a very large area of land. I would not call that "next to stonehenge" - Ikus13, on 06/11/2009, -1/+36Amazing! So many theories that have finally received certain light.
- powatom, on 06/12/2009, -1/+36Not much history though, seeing as virtually nobody could write.
- rolf, on 06/12/2009, -3/+30And lolcats! Don't forget about the lolcats!
- DarkBlueAnt, on 06/12/2009, -1/+27I was thinking the same thing. This title is misleading. I thought it was right next to Stonehenge. 15 miles could be a completely different group of people.
- HiKevinRose, on 06/12/2009, -0/+26It's the best way!
- RealmDown, on 06/12/2009, -1/+24No, they must digg.
- evilregis, on 06/12/2009, -2/+24And every thread about Islam has an obligatory "religion of peace" comment. And in every thread about children pedobear makes an appearance. And every thread about human stupidity has a darwin award reference or a Pickard facepalm. And every thread about Obama has some mouth-breather calling for his birth certificate or "change you can believe in?"... and so on and so forth.
Just because this particular thing pisses you off enough to comment on it is not anyone else's fault. Skip the article if you KNOW it's going to be there and it's SO offensive to your sensibilities. - solid12345, on 06/12/2009, -1/+22Maybe they'll find a balrog in there
- TempusEdax, on 06/12/2009, -0/+21The British dug too greedily and too deep...
- inactive, on 06/12/2009, -1/+18Digg should exist to disseminate knowledge that elevates the human condition - it can still be this way.
- MrSlumberjack, on 06/12/2009, -0/+17"Because the original surface of the land has been preserved beneath the mound, scientists will be able to examine it for traces of pollen and identify which plants and trees were common at the time."
I love you, science. - krellor, on 06/12/2009, -0/+16No one walks 5 miles an hour over rough terrain, carrying gear, unless they are being chased by something. A normal pace for a hiker carrying a medium weight pack is about 2-3 miles an hour. Depending on the terrain 15 miles might be a comfortable day trip. If the terrain was rough though, it would probably be a 1 and a half, or two day trip.
- phosphite, on 06/12/2009, -0/+16Even if they don't excavate the tombs, Dugg!
- DeadManWalking, on 06/12/2009, -1/+17I heard 'Tis a magic place
Where the moon doth rise with a dragon's face
It's also where the virgins lie
And the prayers of devils fill the midnight sky - vbullinger, on 06/12/2009, -0/+16In relation to the size of our universe and unexplained phenomena, I am willing to allow any distance light can travel in 42,000 years "next to."
- myk7, on 06/11/2009, -4/+19Amazing.
- yelow, on 06/12/2009, -2/+163 hours @ 5 miles an hour isn't a terrible distance for 6 effin THOUSAND years ago.
There are still entire settlements of people TODAY that walk two days for water, along with their entire herd and everything.
Three hours isn't that much. - inactive, on 06/12/2009, -6/+19Pre-historic?.
There was plenty of civilization 6,00 years ago... - mabsark, on 06/12/2009, -3/+16Many early cultures passed on their traditions and history through stories and songs.
- inactive, on 06/12/2009, -0/+13the stargate!
- chocula78, on 06/12/2009, -1/+14My interest lies in whether these tombs are related to Stonehenge in some way.
- wild, on 06/12/2009, -2/+14Well, there is history, just not "recorded" history.
- MrSlumberjack, on 06/12/2009, -0/+12It's not really that far, considering how far the stones that make up Stonehenge were transported for its construction (20 miles for some and supposedly 240 miles for others).
- darkstar949, on 06/12/2009, -1/+13Actually, depending upon the field you are referring to, the use of the word theory is preferred to hypothesis. Archeology and history both fall under realm of "soft" social sciences in which the use of the term "theory" is more prevalent when working on something which you don't have enough evidence to prove yet. For example, more of then than not, people well refer to "Jack the Ripper Theories" as opposed to "Jack the Ripper Hypothesis."
- HiKevinRose, on 06/12/2009, -0/+12Ooph, satire fail.
- archimago42, on 06/12/2009, -1/+12@SarcasticGenius: Your real motivations show clearly when you say "atheist". The vast majority of Christians do not believe the Earth is 6,000 years old. The fact that you seem to think anyone who believes in God also believes the Earth is 6,000 years old shows an incredible ignorance or an incredible lack of intelligence. So, this "logic" you refer to is terrible.
Also, the 'thumbs down' icon means you don't like something. - kurttrail, on 06/12/2009, -6/+17Really? People making fun of idiots that deny reality is somehow bad in your view? So do you feel that the young earth nonsense should be taught as real science?
Should I apologize to the Holocaust Museum shooter for making fun of Holocaust deniers, according to you warped view of tolerance?
Also if you are being the sarcastic genius you claim to be, are you really being sarcastic, and actually enjoy others making fun of reality-deniers? - Ramble, on 06/12/2009, -2/+13So are hypothesis.
- mabsark, on 06/12/2009, -3/+13And by seismic readings you mean psychic readings.
- nismerf, on 06/12/2009, -14/+24But But the earth is only 6000 years old, maybe angels are buried there.
- CosmicSurfer, on 06/12/2009, -14/+24Actually the flat worlders would say that "God put that tomb there to fool us"....The scientists "discovered it" the day God put it there...
- protogenxl, on 06/12/2009, -2/+12Were these tombs in danger of being crushed by a Dwarf?
- bone625, on 06/12/2009, -0/+10Really? I hadn't heard that before, I thought they were either creationists and thought it was 6,000 years old or thought it was 4.6 billion years old. Either way, that group is still... ~4.6 billion years off...
- archimago42, on 06/12/2009, -3/+12Nobody cares what you think. That's why you only get 1 plus or minus on each comment. So we can override you.
- 1ofMany, on 06/12/2009, -2/+11You were watching The Mummy again, weren't you?
- Nenja, on 06/12/2009, -0/+8Still, 15 miles does not equal "next to." That's what we have "near" for.
- inactive, on 06/12/2009, -1/+9Isn't that what he just said?
- Mopbucket, on 06/12/2009, -0/+8No one was recording events at that time, so it is prehistoric.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/prehistory - wild, on 06/12/2009, -4/+11In relation to the size of our planet and unexplained phenomena, I am willing to allow any distance I can walk within a couple lazy hours "next to."
- mmrosek, on 06/12/2009, -1/+8Buried as inaccurate (or moreso misleading). While these tombs were probably from the same civilization that built Stonehenge, the tombs don't have anything to do with the actual rock structures, which the headline clearly implies.
- akaakc, on 06/12/2009, -2/+8Best comment all day. That would be the most amazing discovery in history...oh man, I get chills just thinking about it.
But would they tell us? I hope so. - neillawson, on 06/12/2009, -2/+8*are.
