AI Thread Summary
Recent archaeological research has revealed a detailed map of the area surrounding Stonehenge, indicating the presence of 17 additional shrines nearby. This groundbreaking study utilized advanced scanning techniques to explore the ground up to three meters deep, uncovering evidence of a larger landscape that includes traces of up to 60 massive stones forming part of a "super henge" at Durrington Walls. The findings suggest that Stonehenge was not an isolated monument but part of a more complex ceremonial site. Future analysis of this data is expected to provide new insights into the evolution of the Stonehenge landscape. Additionally, there is a noted disparity in access to related documentaries, with some programs being unavailable in the USA, leading to speculation about potential collusion regarding broadcasting rights.

There are other Stonehenge type shrines underground, 17 of them. I think that the Brits knew all along.:devil:


Archaeologists have unveiled the most detailed map ever produced of the Earth beneath Stonehenge and its surrounds.

They combined different instruments to scan the area to a depth of three metres, with unprecedented resolution.

Early results suggest that the iconic monument did not stand alone, but was accompanied by 17 neighbouring shrines.

Future, detailed analysis of this vast collection of data will produce a brand new account of how Stonehenge's landscape evolved over time.

Among the surprises yielded by the research are traces of up to 60 huge stones or pillars which formed part of the 1.5km-wide "super henge" previously identified at nearby Durrington Walls.

Thread 'Aethelstan, King of the Anglo Saxons, first English King'

Historian seeks recognition for first English king https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9d07w50e15o Somewhere I have a list of Anglo-Saxon, Wessex and English kings. Well there is nothing new there. Parts of Britain experienced tribal rivalries/conflicts as well as invasions by the Romans, Vikings/Norsemen, Angles, Saxons and Jutes, then Normans, and various monarchs/emperors declared war on other monarchs/emperors. Seems that behavior has not ceased.
