I think it's more "that's what you kids are calling it these days" quotes.

I can understand why heliolatry was so widespread in the ancient world. I think it's hard for most people now to comprehend just how dark and foreboding the night used to be.

Perhaps these are the remnants of the preceding woodhenge and strawhenge.

Sun Worship? Was their priestess named Snooki?
 
2011-11-29 02:50:29 PM
No-one knows who they were or what they were doing.
 
2011-11-29 02:52:45 PM
Shouldn't they call a Dermatologist instead of a reporter?

In addition to sun worship....they danced.

Props to you for the first ST reference.

I could understand 'Page 3' of the Sun worship.....

All snark aside, there actually is a woodhenge.

....probably used before stones were erected

sciencyologist: These two new locations that we are referring to as the "G Spot" and "H Spot" have baffled scholars for decades...
Giorgio Tsoukalos: If I may interject hair, I mean, here. I have a theory.
sciencyologist: I've seen your "theories" Mr Tsoukalos
Giorgio Tsoukalos: Why did you put my theories in air quotes? Perhaps....
sciencyologist: PERHAPS NOTHING! It was ancient men who were looking for a fark.
Giorgio Tsoukalos: But look around you! Look at the size of the erections that were left! Can you really tell me that "ancient man" had the "ability" to make "erections" like this without "assistance"?
sciencyologist: Is your air quote thing busted? Ancient man existed....
Giorgio Tsoukalos: But not without ancient...
sciencyologist: for the love of God don't....
Giorgio Tsoukalos: ... Alien technology. And besides, haven't you seen episode 16 of season 3 of my highly regarded documentary series, Ancient Aliens, on the History channel? We examine and debunk the idea that the Gods of creation were in fact Aliens. In season 2, episode 2.....
sciencyologist: stabby...

Did they open the Pandorica yet?

Trying to come up with a witty Pandorica reference and failing.

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

Stonehenge! Where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge! Where a man's a man
And the children dance to the Pipes of Pan

Hey!

Stonehenge! 'Tis a magic place
Where the moon doth rise with a dragon's face
Stonehenge! Where the virgins lie
And the prayers of devils fill the midnight sky

And you my love, won't you take my hand?
We'll go back in time to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow
I will take you there, I will show you how

Oh!

And oh how they danced
The little children of Stonehenge
Beneath the haunted moon
For fear that daybreak might come too soon

And where are they now?
The little children of Stonehenge
And what would they say to us?
If we were here... tonight

I'm guessing it's because any time an archaeologist finds something they can't explain, they write it off as a worship site of some type.

The words 'worship' and 'religion' have been getting a bad rap lately.

Look. They had no PS3, Wii, or internet. They were GRATEFUL for the sun, so they spent their time doing what they could to pass it. It was.. Stone Age Tetris if you will...

Just like the religions of today. Christianity teaches you to be grateful while silently judging others, Islam teach to always want what you do not have and kill those that have what you want, Jew teach that everyone is out to get you so hold you assets tight, atheist religion teaches to hat everything that is against your personal gain.

Now, to keep these religions in line, they have 'gods'. and you 'worship' them. However. IMHO Worship just means to follow in the teachings of. mmmm... I Follow in the teachings of Yoda, so I 'worship' him. Worship is another word for admire......

Where is Time Team when you really need them? They could do the job in 3 days with time out for a pint at a local pub.

Those stones were probably destroyed when they were trod upon by a dwarf.

And the Lord Sun God heard their praise and lamentations unto Him and blessed his followers with two mighty scoops of raisins in every box. And times were good for the people.

I'm not a scientist or anything, but laying out in the sun doesn't turn you oompa-loompa orange.

But I see what you're going for there.
