The builders were the first serious football fans and the purpose of Stonehenge was the first football stadium.
Afterwards, someone finally asked what is football, and they realized the game had not yet been invented. Thus Stonehenge Stadium and Football Club were abandoned.

Stonehenge has always been a fascinating historical landmark to me so it was nice learning some new things about it. Great video guys!

I think you misspelled ‘Spongehenge’. Jk. Great video, I really love the deeper dives into the more niche historical sites.

Can confirm you pronounced 'Preseli' perfectly :D

A long time ago, some proto-British lads stacked some stones on top of one another and we’ve spent the next 4, 000 years trying to work out why when the answer is probably as simple as:

“Luv me stones, luv piling stones, ‘ate unturned stones. Simple as!”

Would love to trek across the pond and have a look at some stone. Ikind of hope we never learn how they were assembled. It's part of the charm.

In ancient times,
Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
Lived a strange race of people, the Druids
No one knows who they were or what they were doing
But their legacy remains
Hewn into the living rock, of Stonehenge

Giants tried to make a stone card stack tower and failed
