A groundbreaking new analysis of the 25 cremated remains buried at the prehistoric monument in Wiltshire has revealed that 10 of them lived nowhere near the bluestones… link |

So people from where the stones came from are buried where they were delivered. Not exactly world shattering news. |

"Not quite sure what "mystery" has been "solved" The mystery of how to get us to read the article. :) Also, the video attached has a theory that the bluestones weren't brought from Wales by people, but had been dropped nearby by a glacier during the last ice age. An interesting theory to me. |

The article (or a similar one I read yesterday) says that the glacier theory has been abandoned, since the quarry site was found with tools and stone chips still in situ. |

<<<Also, the video attached has a theory that the bluestones weren't brought from Wales by people, but had been dropped nearby by a glacier during the last ice age. An interesting theory to me.>>> Interesting only for the 'fact'? that all of the glacially deposited bluestone on Salisbury Plain was used to build Stonehenge. Which must be a 'fact'? because no other glacially deposited bluestone (or any other bluestone for that matter) has been found in the area. How convenient. Sufficient, no more, no less, bluestone was deposited to allow Stone Age peoples to build a megalithic site 5000 years or so after the last glacial period. Otherwise. Aliens. |

One of the major burials at the 'henge is/was a Swiss archer. No aliens were involved – it was Merlin who stole the stones from Ireland were they had been erected by Giants. Why do people always have to try to make these things so complicated when the obvious answer has been known for centuries? |

"How convenient. Sufficient, no more, no less, bluestone was deposited to allow Stone Age peoples to build a megalithic site 5000 years or so after the last glacial period." Hardly! It was originally planned to be two stories with an attached tennis court, but they ran out of stones. Convenient my bum! :-) |

When I visited UK in 1968, it was possible to walk right up to the stones and touch them. I took a bunch of pictures and lost them all :( |
