A team of British researchers concludes that Stonehenge was built to symbolize the unification of ancient Britain. They reject previous theories, that it was built as a sun temple or a prehistoric observatory or druid center.

How disappointing.
I call BS. Next they'll tell us Stonehenge isn't 18 inches tall and midgets didn't dance around it.
^ haven't heard that theory before
I'm disappointed too. What was the point of transporting all those huge stones hundreds of miles from Wales? The new theory doesn't really explain why.Originally Posted by Buddhas

Here is a re-enactment of that theory, set to a musical number...

^ Thanksnever heard this song before. The Druids are massively overrated but it's still a cool song.
Is it a rubber song, Russ?

What was the point of building the Statue of Liberty?
The list could go on and on ...
There was no point
However Stonehenge is a different matter, it's British
When I was young I kicked my sister.
my mum gave me such a smack, then asked "do you want another one"?
"Jeez" mum I said "I have enough trouble with one sister without you having another"
I'm still inclined to give greater credence to the theory that Stonehenge was created by local politicians as one of the first rock gardens to be viewed and enjoyed by the general public.
That the rock acquirement contract was outsourced to Wales is certainly evidence of malmanagement. This case is one more testimony to unabated state interference in the private sector which has been the bane of good business practices throughout history.

“Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. . . . What is needed to stop the trend towards socialism and despotism is common sense and moral courage.” Ludwig von Mises
