Re: Radical solution proposed for Stonehenge by mountainman on Sunday, 31 August 2008

No wonder these guys were laughed at -- but they are nothing if not persistent, and Timewatch is making the most of it, through the April 2008 Stonehenge dig. New programme coming up on 27 Sept 2008, with the full media works. There are not "myriad spring heads and wells" around the Preseli ride that are marked by bluestone. There are springs and bogs because it rains a lot, and they are "marked by bluestone" because spotted dolerite happens to be the bedrock in places. There are no records or traditions suggesting that the springs or the rocks have healing powers. Spotted dolerite has never been used preferentially in North Pembrokeshire for grave markers or ogham inscriptions. We are dealing with pure fantasy and junk science here.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
