Stonehenge: DNA reveals origin of builders

The cars and crane shown look far too modern to be early 1900,s.

Exactly, most of those pictures are from the 1950s.......There is even a couple of Morris Minors in the background (highlite ones).
The first low light Morries turned up in 1949.

Still, thanks for bringing it to life...I had no idea that Stonehenge was rebuilt......so we did learn something.

As far as "stone monuments" in Britain, it was recently announced that "upright Stones in circles", thought to be some ancient sign to the future.....were erected by some farmer in the 70s/80s for whatever reason (a joke one would presume), until the were "Discovered" by some expert , who declared them 1000s of years old, from some ancient culture.

If you meant these pictures

Then yes, that was the reconstruction done between 1958 and 1964.There are photographs of stonehenge from before the series of restorations. It is propped up with large props.

There are also a few pictures of the 1920s restoration here

The 50s restorationmwas when they lifted all the stones that had fallen and set them in concrete.
Then they lifted all the stones that were standing and set them in concrete too.
At this time they also realigned the monument to conform to the archaeological interpretation of the time. (see richard atkinson if you want to read something.)

In doing this they not only cut off the stones from the source of their power, and made them into nothing more than a decorative tourist attraction, but also silenced then so that no one could hear them as Thomas Hardy had.

This is a good thing, and the sooner the stones, all stones, are removed, the better. These are the deviks playgrounds. You only have to go there at the solstices and equinoxes to see the devils children at play.

Also yes. Many stone circles in the uk are 20th century. Probably about 80%. The rest were built in the 1600 by devil worshipping neo druids like stukley.

All these devils monuments must be destroyed.

A very incomplete list of modern stone circles created for neo pagan druidic ceremonies.

I don't understand all the attention to essentially a circle of large rocks,when much larger and much more precise in construction that was built in far older times,just like the media false flag to lead you off course to the supposed"cave man" days,and there is far more buried deep under the earth,evidently we are recycled

....wut?
You might want to take a breather, champ. Come back when you are capable of formulating and expressing actual cohesive thoughts.
A circle of large rocks...false flag... lol. Good grief...

So a team of archaeologists 1000 years in the future long after WWIII wiped out most of the world's population analysed the DNA of American tourists who were visiting London just as the nuclear missiles hit it and found the DNA of Americans. From this they concluded that Stonehenge had been built by people from America.....

How on earth a scientist can infer from DNA samples taken around Britain that Stonehenge must have been built by the wave of immigrants at the time it was built is beyond me. The country has been visited by all sorts of people for thousands of years. It's nonsense to identify the builders of Stonehenge with an ethnic group solely on the grounds that they happened to arrive around the time it was first built (give or take a few centuries, during which all kinds of groups of people could have come). So it need not have been them at all!

Now, if the scientists had found DNA in human remains underneath the stones or buried in the 56 Aubrey holes and identified it as from Anatolia, then I would be convinced. But they didn't. They just examined DNA from all over Britain and inferred that the immigrants with this DNA must have built Stonehenge (Ha! Ha! Ha!) because both date from about the same time. What kind of sloppy logic is that!? Their data never made any causal connection with Stonehenge per se. In a court of law, such weak, circumstantial evidence would never convict someone of a crime. But, you see, scientists can get away with sloppy logic because, well, they are scientists and therefore we can trust them to think carefully, can't we?...........

I know right, It gives a face and life to the hunter gatherers that eventually became the roots of civilization.
Our great times X grandparents.

They probably used these stones to know when to plant and when to mate farm animals as well as to honor the gods that were responsible for the success of both.
I'm guessing but I think not just a calendar and not just religious but a tool essential to everyday life when survival depended on concurring the elements.

Well, the the Anatolian farmers who had completely replaced the hunter-gatherers in Britain.

Fascinating..

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Stonehenge is nothing but a fabrication. I can't remember correctly, but wasn't it built around the end of WW2?

Yes, there was a case in Scotland recently...

A stone circle in rural Scotland that caused excitement among archaeologists when it was discovered last month is actually a replica built in the 1990s, it has emerged.

However, such fakes are few and far between. Great Britain is littered with prehistoric monuments. This may give an idea of the number of scheduled (legally protected) monuments in Wiltshire, for example. Wiltshire's where Stonehenge is.
