My understanding the site is ceremonial in nature, timed with celestial events.

In moving the stones, the show depicts them doing it during warm weather. Since the culture was agricultural and warm days would mean working in the fields to grow food to survive, why not move the stones on sleds during the winter months when the people had time on their hands and the ground was frozen and covered in a white lubricant called snow???? Ice covered rivers would be perfect highways, as well.

According to Zecharia Sitchin brilliant archeologist & researcher who has written 7 books on the history of the Anunnaki
(those who from heaven to earth came) states that the stonehenge layout was a very complex astro-nomical device which tracked celestial bodies
in exact & precise ways much too sophisticated for
the stone age people that
lived at that time. The Anunnaki were highly advanced visitors from the 12th planet of our solar system IBURU which has a 3,600 yr. orbit. Sitchin's translations of the many thousands of clay tablets (using cuneiform writing of Sumerians) showed they had a very great knowledge of our solar system. Sitchen
for example, was able to describe in detail the planets Uranus & Neptune
ACCURATELY using data from
the clay tablets written
millennia ago! His descrip-
tion was verified by Voyagers fly-bys!- proving
the veracity of the facts as descibed on the thousand
s of year old clay tablets.
When George Smith (in 1876)first discovered this huge massive library the first
stories he found were the story of Noah's Ark, then the Tower of Babel etc etc so it was apparent these were the original stories which became the much shortened version we now call the Bible. In fact, the stunning, sudden fact of the appearence of Homo Sapiens is explained in the Sumerian texts by one scientist (Enki) who used genetic engineering to combine the genes of the primitive "ape men" with the genes of the Anunnaki to create Adam in their "image & likeness" This was in Africa. Again the sudden explosion of civilization in Sumeria was due to these
"gods" teaching the people
mathematics, language, writing. agriculture, etc
etc. There is ample evidence of their activ-ities. Of course they were the ones to build the great pyramid which was a
powerful navigational aid
for the interplanetary rockets they used.
They originally came to mine gold to use as a shield around their planet to protect the atmosphere,
Evidence of very ancient gold mines exists in Africa. They also mined tons of gold & tin (for use in bronze) at Lake Titicaca in Peru where huge deposits existed.
Mitochondrial DNA shows that the first "EVE" was
traced back to Africa which matches the location where Adam & Eve were created according to the
Sumerian writings.
Other astonishing truths are brought out in Sitchin's many books.

It's rubbish to say that people from the stonehenge era were incapable of conceiving and building stonehenge; on the evolutionary time scale they were intellectually our equals. Even though they didn't have all the advantages of our modern sophisticated technology, they had people smart enough to figure out how to design and build this monument using what was available to them at the time. Forget extra-terrestrials; however much you'd like to believe it, ET hasn't yet visited earth, except perhaps as primitive life forms riding on meteorities.

So Woodhenge is a Temple of Life and Stonehenge is a Temple of Death? No evidence to offer. Real scientific. You might as well dig up the UFO and Atlantis theories. What about Merlin?

A responsible scientist sticks to the most likely explanations. Such as: Woodhenge was a practice piece. You don't move those stones until you know where you're putting them.

Was that "archaeologist" using National Geographic to sell his book and pimp his career? I see nothing else of merit in this.
