Magnus Magnusson looks at Thom's evidence and hears what different archaeologists think of the suggestion that Stone Age Britons could make such elaborate calculations. If Thom's theory is correct, previous archaeological certainties about the knowledge and ability of people in the Stone Age would be overturned.

Helping us come to grips with this reality is Danebury: Ritual and Religion in the Iron Age, the latest video offering on our public education website, The Archaeology Channel (http://www.archaeologychannel.org). Danebury, one of Iron Age Britain's most significant and impressive hillforts, was built and occupied during the First Millennium BC. In 1969, Professor Barry Cunliffe began an unprecedented 20-year-long excavation of Danebury, which he discusses in this film. Professor Miranda Green, a renowned specialist in prehistoric beliefs, discusses the religious significance of the many finds and burials from the site. Stunning computer-generated graphics help bring the remarkable story of Danebury Hillfort and its Iron Age builders to life.

Walk past it a few times a year. Ask a village elder. Keep walking. Keep looking. Here in Moux - a little village below a big limestone hill - we have a better chance than many to find vestiges of protohistory. I'm on the trail of another one this week, deep in the Corbieres Hills. And I'm looking forward to sharing the experience with you all on The Mega-Portal. It would be great to walk the hills together: I'm only a beginner in all this. What an adventure!

Martin Brennan said it was like being in heaven. The sunset occured 15 minutes past the spring equinox, local time, resulting in one of the most precise fits for any observation in a century. What this says about the ancient author's ability to fix the equinox within the quadrennial leap year cycle and carve an accurate design is monumental. We think she was a Celt in America.

The plinth itself was carved from Aberdeen granite in the 19th century, but the stones on top were varied – dolerite, flint, limestone and sandstone. Between them they represented the entire span of humanity as then known in the British Isles – 700,000 years! They were all original artefacts which I chose for key moments in the story. It began with a flint flake from Pakefield, and via, amongst others, a beautiful handaxe from Boxgrove (500,000 years ago), a piece of Stonehenge (3000BC) and part of a block from Hadrian’s Wall (AD122), the people in this story were present in a few of the things they made. And I was there too, curating this extraordinary collection.

Were these ancient sites built to amplify sound, meaning that all previous theories have been missing the reason for their design? Thousands of years prior to the Stone Age there is also a distinct correlation between the location of cave paintings and the sound effects given in the exact spot in the cave. Was this knowledge of acoustics known about for thousands of years?

Uruguay's rich history spans more than 11,000 years. On the wetlands of Rocha, declared by UNESCO as one of the most diverse environments on Earth, mound-building people thrived 4000 years ago. They built planned villages, made pottery and other tools, grew corn, squash, beans, and tubers, and developed an elaborate belief system. This video shows Uruguayan archaeologists leading teachers and students from Rocha in archaeological exploration of the prehispanic past of their province, inspiring them to bring archaeology into their classroom.
