Stonehenge...

[Buzzard]

I heard an interesting theory about it. That it is actually a calander. Let me ask you this. Why the fuck would they make a calander out of boulders the size of SUV's?? It makes no sense to me. What do you guys think. Would really be interested in the Englishmans perspective...

 

[sknight]

Perhaps because of the utility provided due to geographic features of the landscape. Larger clears and allows the sun to shine through it and cast shadows to wherever they were supposed to go.

What the true purpose was, we will never know. We also don't know if Stonehenge was actually part of something else that no longer exists.

In terms of stacking them, it's not to much of a stretch to think that the vertical slabs were put in place, then the earth was built up around them, then the horizontal slabs were placed on top, the bases being excavated afterward.

I know that tests on some of the stones show they could have only come from a quarry in Wales about 200 miles away. The druids must have been strong fuckers.

i saw on history channel how they floated em down the river on logs, then rolled them..and how they got them into place, it was a huge pain in the ass...and it does seem like WAY to much effort just for a calender. Boredom?

 

[Saucy_Jack]

No, the Poms just would have got someone else to put it up for them. They are famous for giving others their shitty business to take care of. They used us as their cannon fodder in WWI so they could sit 100 miles away from the front lines and have tea and scones. The druids probably made some poor Irish saps haul that shit around for them while they drank warm beer and invented cricket, rugby and other sports for Australia to flog them at 3000 years later.

 

[Saucy_Jack]

But the tunnels though? I've never heard that one. I read that originally, 3000 years ago or whatever, there were a bunch of big holes dug in a ring around the outside

 

[gaschamber]

i heard that clark griswald backed a rental car into the one stone and it created a domino effect and knocked it all down!

Yeah...I think I saw footage of that.

The Easter Island monoliths are a bigger mystery to me.

 

[Jurched]

Easter Island is a fuckin wacked place, man. I read Thor Heyerdahl's book on the subject, "Aku Aku." Seems that there was a brutal civil war in the 1600s, reducing a once flourishing civilisation of thousands down to 50 cannibals. Before that, they cut down all the trees on the island, turning it into a desert, while slave-driving the people into rebellion.

The best part is, this was done by native peoples of the south seas. So, according to UCLA hippy progressives, only white corporate industrialists ruin the environment and abuse labor laws.

BULLshit!

Native Americans, so to speak, fucked up their own shit, without whitey's help! Well, I can't say that. According to legend, the overlords of the Island who ordered the statues built were white men with red beards.

So, looks like ethnic irish entrepreneurs who care nothing for the world they live in except to make money (I mean, statues) ended up enslaving the brown peaceful peoples of the south seas, just like Donald Trump. WEll, assuming he lived there 500 years ago.

Anyway, STONEHENGE is kick-ass. I'm glad those druids built us a nice monument. Today's monuments blow majour cock. They're always some fuckin wall or pool or graveyard shape. Always the result of a consensus from some untalented committee, always overpriced. Fuck that!

I want the next American monument to be a statue of Teddy Roosevelt 1,400 feet tall, charging San Juan Hill, and ordering his men to beat Spanish prisoners silly.

No-one quite knows why or what Stonehenge is really all about, theories have been put forward that it is a solar calendar, but it has also been calculated to correspond to lunar cycles too.
The stones do originate from Wales and were probably transported as described on rafts and rollers. It is a long, seemingly pointless exercise, but if it is a religious site, it shows how primitive people can do fucking stupid things in the name of their god. Perhaps they went apeshit at some naughty cave paintings too.
Dunno about tunnels at Stonehenge, but if the fucktards in charge of the country have their way, they want to build a road tunnel nearby, in much the same way as they insist on building fucking roads and by-passes everywhere. Cunts.

No-one knows who made the stone circle, but modern day "druids" have claimed it as their ancestry, and hold "ceremonies" there every Midsummer's day. What they don't tell you is that the druids were only ever mentioned in any ancient writings once or twice. No rituals or traditions were passed down, the modern druid is actually performing to a Victorian idea of what the druids were. Kinda like one of you Yanks just going out to a stone-age mound out in New England somewhere, and just making up a ritual that you think the Indians performed. Utter bollocks, really!
For many years the police would arrest you if you looked like you were heading that way at Midsummer, after gatherings were banned there in the 1980s. Of course, all that did was attracted more crusties and New Age Travellers (dreadlocked workshy soapdodging pinkos), resulting in huge battles with the pigs and security men determined to keep everyone away from Stonehenge. When they relaxed the law in 2000 there were less people there and since then no trouble.

Also, it should be remembered that Stonehenge was falling apart at the start of the 20th century, and was reconstructed as someone perceived it to have been originally, based upon old drawings. In other words, some twat thought this goes here and this goes there rebuilt and cemented it together nice and tidily.

Stonehenge is pretty shit to be honest with you, there are plenty of better stone circles in the UK, Avebury for a start. Personally, I believe it was built as a prehistoric tourist attraction!!!

Blah blah fucking blah.

Get your own empire, you fucking convict bastard.

Anyway, it was probably used as a high temple at solstice times and for sacrifice ceremonies.

I have no proof, but it's the most metal answer.
