Went to a fascinating lecture tonight on all the recent discoveries about Stonehenge. The summary is, everything you ever knew about Stonehenge is wrong. My favorite bit was where he spoke about how we get the word henge from Stonehenge, but how pedantic archeologists had so messed with what the word means that technically Stonehenge is now no longer a henge at all. Hah! Typical!
For those who are interested, the lecturer was
Mike Parker Pearson and you can
find out more about the talk and he has a book coming out in June
that is available for pre-order and sounds like it will be a must-read for anyone interested in Stonehenge.
