[rage_roxy]

So the Aliens didn’t drop them off!? 🤔

[rosslang]

I find it interesting that there isn't one British Historian on this video.

[markc]

I find it difficult to believe bronze age people built this at all. Even more preposterous is the thought they moved it to change locations.

[kathiecraig]

and to think some *"Just Stop Oil"* idiots decided to disturb Stonehenge, a thing that hasn't been touched in about 3000 years.

So, theory. - Everyone uses a key stone/post - then the direction of your village or community you use a second post - this provides a route to get you to your destination. The further out the post you use - the further the travel distance. Think of henges as 'roundabouts' for travellers. Main posts more permanent posts/stones indicate the next henge for more 'refined' directions when you get closer, using main stones/posts for henge to henge requirements. Using the sun and sticks etc - you can recalibrate if the journey is over days. Larger henges uses for main routes, temporary wooden henges for directions when you are closer to the destinations or have no need to use henge to henge travels.

nobody thinks that this "Stonehenge" is actually "stone stoves" or a camping site and those human bones is not actually cremated but eaten by cannibals or "Giants" people usually overthinks when they got no answers to everything they found from the past civilizations.

When was this filmed? In August 2024 a researcher analyzed the alter stone at Stonehenge. The chemicals analysis says that stone is from NE Scotland. Further tests say it doesn't match either stone circle on the island of Orkney, but is from the same region. You don't spend this much effort building something for 1 purpose. It was a meeting place, a religious site, and a calendar. As someone fascinated by these ancient structures I believe a lot of ancient sites are connected. Newgrange in Ireland was built between c. 3200 and 3100 BC. Standing Stones of Stenness was 3100 – 2900 BC on Orkney, then The Ring of Brodgar on Orkney around 2600 and 2400 BC. A circular earthwork enclosure was built at Stonehenge about 3000BC and 2500 BC the central stones and woodehenge were built. So age wise either the culture and/or people started Ireland, moved to Orkeny, then made their way south to Stonehenge. Bell Beaker in Britain was 2450 to 1800BC. Just based on dates I pulled from wikipedia Bell Beaker people were only at Stonehenge only when the circles were built.

It's really a spaceport for ALIENS! (queue greek hair guy)

[danielj.m]

Came here for ancient alien theorists say… got facts… history channel got me hoodwinked in the best way

[joel]

What about woodheng they discovered in the uk that dates before stoneheng

[mariadaluzmoutinho]

Estas legendas tiram a beleza ao vídeo!! Qual o mistério destas legendas repentinas ...que se vieram juntar aos mistérios deste transcendental e isolado monumento?!?

[theonebe]

Funny how they don't talk about how they moved them, erected them.

[gregvigil]

the whole thing was the "1st Wheel" that they rolled there from Whales

[princedhiman]

This is type of megnate and the inner megnates is missing

[earthdust]

Probably a simpler exclamation than is usually given. Could this have been a corral of sorts to keep food stock animals until needed by ancient giants? I doubt it was an astronautical or what ever you call it to align with far off stars.

[jastheace]

It's a Clock.... its not rocket science you no

[Golfphantom]

Guess what! All that is left are the stones.

There would have been wooden structures everywhere as well.

Those stones are just the basics for the temple

[copious]

Don't buy the ancient happy hippy theory, sounds pretty contrived and speculative tbh. Sounds like you can't really decide what the history is, so throw a bunch of stuff at it and see what sticks, aliens included.

[kevinhamblin]

Didn’t it start off as a hamburger stand ? 😮
