Stonehenge and the Neolithic

Immense Neolithic Ring Discovered Near Stonehenge
[quote]The mystery near and around Stonehenge keeps growing.
The latest revelation is the discovery of a ring of at least 20
prehistoric shafts about 2 miles from the famous Neolithic site
of immense upright stones, according to an announcement from the
University of Bradford.[/quote]
[quote]Archaeologists say the "astonishing" shafts in Durrington
Walls date back to 2500 B.C. and form a circle more than 2
kilometers (1.2 miles) in diameter. Each one measures up to 10
meters (33 feet) in diameter and 5 meters (16 feet) deep.
Researchers say there may have been more than 30 of the shafts
at one time.
"The area around Stonehenge is among the most studied
archaeological landscapes on Earth and it is remarkable that the
application of new technology can still lead to the discovery of
such a massive prehistoric structure which, currently, is
significantly larger than any comparative prehistoric monument
that we know of in Britain, at least," said Professor Vincent
Gaffney of the University of Bradford.[/quote]
Astonishing' Stonehenge discovery offers new insights into
Neolithic ancestors.

[quote]Richard Bates with the University of St. Andrews said the
discovery "is giving us an insight to the past that shows an
even more complex society than we could ever imagine."
Bates added: "Clearly sophisticated practices demonstrate that
the people were so in tune with natural events to an extent that
we can barely conceive in the modern world we live in today."
The exact purpose of the shafts is unclear, but one prominent
theory is that they may have acted as a boundary to a sacred
area connected to Stonehenge.

God-Kings of Neolithic Ireland and Britain
[quote]New discoveries in archaeology and ancient DNA have
provided fascinating insights into the mysterious people who
built Newgrange and Stonehenge. 2020 has seen the discovery of
the world's largest prehistoric monument, a massive Mega-henge
right next to Stonehenge at Durrington. At the same time,
scientists have looked at the DNA of dozens of skeletons from
Neolithic people of Britain and Ireland and realised that, far
from being egalitarian, these megalith building societies had an
elite caste comprised of what appear to be closely related, and
in one case severely inbred, god-kings. Whilst looking through
the new data, I came to realise that there was an interesting
correlation among the phenotypes of this Neolithic elite - and I
have a theory that the inbreeding may be related to a deliberate
attempt to preserve archaic phenotypes from Mesolithic hunter
gatherers, who the Neolithic invaders intermixed with when they
first arrived in Britain and Ireland.
In this new documentary you will learn all about megalithic
people and their monuments; from passage tombs, to long barrows,
dolmens and stone circles. Never before has such revealing light
been shone into the darkness of this mysterious stone age
culture. [/quote]

In other words, it wasn't even just about giving Gentiles
benefit of doubt.

[quote]The face of ‘Stonehenge Man’. A forensic reconstruction
of a Neolithic man born about 5,500 years ago and buried in a
long barrow near Stonehenge. He lived in the area before the
stone circle was built. The long barrow was excavated in the
1860s.

I told you so. (I personally would have made the facial hair
area smaller, but never mind....)
Best comment:

themselves to the M25 - pondering over the future of the

But I also want to highlight comments that reveal how literally
BLIND most Westerners are:
[quote]Liam Neeson built Stonehenge?[/quote]

This guy included a picture of Bridges in the tweet (without
seeing that they look completely different)!

The worst comment, however, is:
[quote]This reminds me of a Stonehenge Brad Pitt.[/quote]
This guy made a video showing a gradual morph between the
Stonehenge Man and Pitt to prove this claim, failing to see that
the video in fact debunks it!

Why do so many Westerners have such poor perception of face

It really is crazy. They're far from the only ones who have
claimed Pitt has an Oval-leaning face. So many 'face shapes'
websites list him as Oval...

Maybe they just mean "compared to Angelina Jolie"?

It should not be possible for anyone who has watched Fight Club
to think Pitt has an Oval face shape:

Archaeologists uncover 4,000-year-old shrine dubbed ‘Stonehenge
of the Netherlands’
[quote]
Dutch archaeologists have unearthed a 4,000-year-old religious
sanctuary said to have functioned as a burial ground and solar
calendar similar to Stonehenge.
The sanctuary is the size of about four soccer fields and
consists of several grave mounds, passages and ditches, all
built out of soil and wood.
The mounds contain the burials of 60 men, women and children and
included valuables such as a bronze spearhead, a release said.
The oldest artifacts uncovered at the site are estimated to date
back to 2,500 B.C.
The largest mound measures 20 metres in diameter and “served as
a sun calendar, similar to the famous stones of Stonehenge in
England,”
The mound was lined with a shallow ditch with several passages
extending out of it, built to align with the sun on solstices,
the longest and shortest days of the year.
“The sun shone right through those passages on the hill,” the
town’s statement said. The sun’s alignment with the passages
heralded harvests and celebrations, researchers believe.
These openings also led to the areas where animal sacrifices,
human skulls and valuables were laid. The site served as a place
of sacrifices and rituals for 800 years.
In the oldest part of the graveyard, archaeologists found a
woman buried with a green coral glass bead, which an analysis
showed to have come from Mesopotamia, in present day Iraq.
Researchers believe this proves inhabitants of this area more
than 4,000 years ago were in contact with people as far as 5,000
km away.
The six-year analysis dated objects from the Stone Age, Bronze
Age, the Iron Age, the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages.
