Stonehenge Blocks Solution?

[toxicpixie]

To you Pixie everything is a conspracy

You would say that, you're part of it. Them. I bet YOU built Stonehenge just to mess with us...

FIVE large'ish Stone blocks just FELL OUT of the front of the house last Summer!  A 'course' above a window on a 60s bungalow. Apparently had not bee 'tied in'.
The 'upside' was that,HAVING to get things repaired, it led to a whole lot of other work actually getting done!   

The Pyramids and Inca bulds... amazing what a 'dedicated, and enthusiastic team' can achieve... when they 'HAVE'  to...

What about the theory that the pyramids were constructed of 'cement' blocks that were formed from individual moulds, in situ ?

This is why they fit so perfectly together.....(and why you can't even slip a piece of paper between the blocks.......apparently. )

Anyone else seen that one ?

Cheers - Phil.

Apart from the fact that the blocks in the pyramids aren't made of cement I see nothing wrong with this theory.

Besides, everyone* knows that the aliens laser cut the blocks for the Egyptians.

Otherwise the Egyptians couldn't have built them to the required tolerances to let the aliens land their spaceships on them.

How can the moderators permit the spreading of such nonsense on an erudite forum like what this is? 

The pyramids were clearly built by time travellers to provide a stable landmark they could return from.

Time travellers? Pah! They're plug-in charging points for UFO's, everyone* knows that.

Now, there's a thought? Have any of the 'ancient aliens' theorists about Pyramids / Henges/ Nazca... etc. ever 'snapped' UFOs actually visiting the sites?
You used to see country stores / garages, with LONG defunct petrol pumps!
Maybe 'Geo Magnetic energy' just aint't 'Green' anymore?

No - they only come very late at night and have high end stealth gear

So... Galactic 'Teens' then...

Just watched a recorded BBC Doc: 'Stonehenge... The Lost Circle, Revealed'. Suitably hirsute archaeologist tracing origin of the first Stonehenge circle of 'Bluestones'. Lab mineral analysis appears to trace back to two nearby outcrops in Wales. Some unfinished blocks stiil there? Prob was, quarried about 3 centuries before Stonehenge... so erected on another site...and recycled?
He found the remains of a Circle, close by... with evidence of stone removal... and corresponding in dimensions to Bluestone circle at Stonehenge. 'Possible' folklore tie to the 'Merlin Myth' in later tales? Certainly 'Seems' to fit the bill!

Transportation. He was sceptical about the 'coastal' method. Fabricated a 'sledge' and recruited gang of schoolkids to drag a slab about the size of one of the smaller stones 70 yds... successfully.
So, no real 'need' for 'advanced' techniques of trackways, bearings, 'walkers'...
Methinks... possible but 140 miles with detours, bridging, etc.? Well, 'maybe'! Could have been more than one method trialled?

Why? Unknown. But, remember... in 1870s /80s, 'Cleopatras's Needle(s)' Obelisks transported from Egypt to London and New York! People DO do 'strange' things... LOL!

The TV prog certainly plausible... worth the watch if it comes round.

Of course, these were the 'man-size' Bluestones... not the enormous, but 'locally' sourced Sarsens. THEY would have been 'Real B*****s' to shift!

(But, just maybe... someone wanted to replace their patio with Decking... and someone, seeing the Skip, said: " 'Ere! If you don't want those bits, can I grab a few?" )

Thanks for flagging up the programme. Just watched it on the Beeb website and an interesting watch it was too.
