Ancient Village Unearthed Near Stonehenge
cityhunter007 writes to point out coverage on CNN.com about an ancient village discovered two miles from Stonehenge that may have housed workers building the monument, or perhaps visitors after it was constructed. The village, at a site known as Durrington Walls, dates from about the time Stonehenge was built, 2600 BCE. The article says: "The researchers speculated that Durrington Walls was a place for the living and Stonehenge — where cremated remains have been found — was a cemetery and memorial... Stonehenge was oriented to face the midsummer sunrise and midwinter sunset, while the wooden circle at Durrington Walls faced the midwinter sunrise and midsummer sunset."
Q: Can I raise a practical question at this point? Are we gonna do Stonehenge tomorrow?
A: NO! We're not gonna f*****g do Stonehenge!
How long ago was the birth of Christ?

There never was such a person. Not even to the people alive at that time.
