Geoffrey of Monmouth was right! 08:32 - Feb 12 with 1906 viewsGuthrum

What's fascinating is that such a piece of information could have survived for so long in folk memory (c. 2300 BC, the radiocarbon dating of the bluestone construction, to around 1135 AD, when the Historia Regum Britanniae was written), through considerable cultural changes in the area.

"But traces of ancient sunlight lingering in the soil was analysed and gave a likely construction date of around 3,300BC"

How does dating traces of ancient sunlight work?

Libel! You don't know they were stolen. Could have been bought or gifted.

I saw that this morning and having got over the distraction of Dr Alice Roberts thought it was really interesting.

It does make you wonder about the old myths and legends and what truth there may be in some of them

maybe they were bought if a perfectly legit deal, bit like when someone tried to sell London Bridge

just imagine "Top o the morning there sir, now are you in the market for something really unusual just I know a man who knows a mane who has a few stones he found ....

I'd have thought you'd be after the territory back.

Post-Brexit smuggling of legitimate goods the new enterprise for organised crime, would then not even have the issue of having to transport their wares across a body of water.

The myth that once upon a time Town won stuff seems increasingly implausible.

Prof. Alice will cover all of the issues relating to getting them out in Wales, the delights of transport, and grappling with the erection in Wiltshire, in this televisual delight this evening.

I hope you don't find that too distracting, Keno.

It's worse then that Eire, they have stolen the entire Neolithic. They pretend it starts in Southern England, when in reality it starts in the West of Ireland hundreds of years earlier. Sorry Keno, but Alice is nothing more then a very attractive (in a nerd kinda way) fraud

Dr Alice is lovely, if you want to get a proper nerd on, try Dr Sue Brunning.

(both would be invited to my dinner party)

Edit: Here's a proper nerd on for you, no filth here I am afraid but it is fascinating

That is quite cool and semi nerd porn at the same time. I have a friend who's the head of some nerdy archeology society in Dublin connected to one of the universities there. He as a serious crush on Dr Alice an a couple of years ago managed to get her to come an talk to their society. Would have loved to have seen her face when she realized she had to talk about the practicalities of ancient DNA with a room full of silent nerds, dribbling an rubbing their thighs.
