Hidden Archeology of Stonehenge Revealed In New Geophysical Map
An anonymous reader writes Utilizing a comprehensive array of remote sensing technology and non-invasive geophysical survey equipment, researchers working on the site of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England have revealed hundreds of previously unknown features buried deep beneath the ground as part of the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project. The finds include images of dwellings from the Bronze and Iron Ages as well as details of buried Roman settlements never before seen."
Did they find that? I'm sure we all want to meet the doctor... ;)
...si hoc legere nimium eruditionis habes...
No. I found them to be fine young cannibals. Although, there is one woman that, well, she drives me crazy like no one else. At the time, I thought she was a good thing, but now I wonder where has she gone.

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 they were here... tonight
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
They should come to Virginia and check out FoamHenge!
I am Slashdot. Are you Slashdot as well?
Is how they decided to do this survey, apparently they saw an old painting of Stonehenge with all these other things around it. Then they decided to do this survey and found that the painting was right...
hi good topic

Do you think they'll be allowed to do this at Treblinka? Seeing as there are supposed to be the ashes of hundreds of thousands of 'Jews' buried there? Oh, wait... they covered the ground over with hideous Jewish 'sculptures' (i.e. a monstrous field of hideous stones and concrete) so that you can't look under the ground with ground penetrating radar... I can't imagine why...
penthouse floor of a 100+ meter tall tower that was used to direct ancient spacecraft as they created crop circles.
Ahh, the Underhenge!
Britain is full of savages, who also happen to be Muslims, only they don't call them that, they call them "Asian militants".

It takes two to tango, matey. While I in no way condone extremism, whether they hide behind 'Islam' or 'Christianity' (or your variant of 'morality', whatever that is), there's always at least two sides to a conflict. Comments like yours only serve to stoke the fires and making it more difficult to find a solution. If we want to solve the problems, we need to find common ground with those Muslims who are just as sick and tired as us of the continued problems - how can we do that, if we constantly isult each other over petty differences?
Some features were hidden away so the dwarves wouldn't trodden upon it.
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
I say! He just called us all savages.
Sir, I really must protest that although our savagery is debatable (I like to think of myself as a modern humanist rather than a knuckle-dragging savage), I do take exception to your surprising claim that we are all Muslims. I personally am not of a religious bent - I am a card carrying atheist (although the cards are just the normal credit cards and shop loyalty cards that most people carry around).
I am somewhat confused about what you mean by your "Asian militants" statement. Are all the militants coming to visit Britain (probably site-seeing - I do see a lot of Japanese tourists taking photographs of all manner of people, places and things) or did they all move here at an early age? My belief is that if someone has been living in a place for the majority of their life, then it's reasonable to designate that place as their nationality, so wouldn't they then become "British militants"?
I have met several Muslims who were absolutely outstanding chaps and in no way "savage", so I'm begininng to doubt your entire post as some kind of rant.
Good Day, Sir
You're a temporary arrangement of matter sliding towards oblivion in a cold, uncaring universe

Comments like yours only serve to stoke the fires and making it more difficult to find a solution. If we want to solve the problems, we need to take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure - how can we do that, if we constantly isult each other over petty differences?
Fixed that for you.

OK - not an archaeologist here. But the new picture seems to be dangerously close to a wish-fulfilment fantasy based on 'expert' interpretation of patterns in the data - and I'd be interested to know just how universally accepted amongst other experts that interpretation is. Because if I learned one thing from watching "Time Team", it was how often the experts' interpretation of geophys data turned out to be quite different to what was found when the site was actually dug...
