Not quite 2000 BCE, but if anyone doubts the scientific accumen of years gone by, have a look at the Antikythera mechanism - dated to between 200 and 90 BCE.
Absolutely astounding!

In a way I think you have a point. Don't get me wrong, I think it's good that people investigate our past and if they want to attribute and assert things to whatever they find, fair enough. However, it would be good if we could go back in time to decipher just how accurate they were. Look at dinosaurs, in more recent history they've said past interpretations of how they looked were wrong, and that some dinosaurs were covered in feathers etc. Expert opinion changes as the decades come and go, however much of it ... even with advances in science ... is surely still a best guess, albeit an expert best guesshow about stonhenge was put up by a bunch of people for some thing to do , a sort of neaderthal folly

It could very well be for a purpose that we, today, would consider a folly.
However, given the considerable resources that must have been involved in its construction (and given that 'free time' is a recent concept!), I would guess that it meant a great deal to them!
And that we are even here today to discuss this, suggests that the ancients must have been doing something right!

I thought that was known for years? In fact, I have a book a mate bought me from about 30 years ago that says the same.
I think it used to be for a massive new year party though - the year used to start in Spring (happy new year everybody!) and the stones are aligned with the spring and autumn equinoxes. There are artefacts from all over Europe at the site, and evidence people used to travel long distances to meet there.

Your own illness dictates that you cannot possibly understand just how racist your 'try to get one over the racists' comment actually is.
I appreciate that you are only here to elicit a reaction, & any reaction will do won't it ? Even the negative ones.
Deep inside your illness you are blissfully unaware of the very many differences between expressing a respected opinion & just expressing an opinion to feed your need for a response. Because your illness is rooted in the fact that you have never enjoyed much in the way of responses to your positive postings, you have turned to negative posts instead.
Did 'mummy' reject you? Did 'daddy' butfuk you?
Please seek help & please do it soon. You are clearly on a downwards spiral that can only end in tears.
Numb nuts! Check it out! The builders of Stonehenge look nothing like the gammony flag hoisting Brexit, trump Putin admiring middle Englanders that hoist their chinese made British flags from their wonderfully large gardens. Remember we’re only chatting because the pioneers of freedom of right wing and conservative speech can’t handle the truth
Tanned people from the med built Stonehenge. Can you filter that info?
