Is Stonehenge a Hoax? (Poll)

"'How do you know,' he said, 'how old Stonehenge is?' This was a rhetorical question - I didn't have to answer. He claimed that Stonehenge doesn't appear in any documentary evidence prior to the 1500s. And pointed out that the dating methods used don't date the stones, but rather the matter beneath them. We know that many Christian churches were sited on top of prehistoric remains as a way of Christianizing them - perhaps, he suggested, Stonehenge's stones were put there much later, on top of a stone age site."

Leaked Photos of NG, sensored by the MI6 show the construction of Stonehedge in 1898.

What's your take?

What's the point in constructing this and covering it up? There's no reason for it. It's not like England doesn't have enough historical sites as it is.

Right, this is obviously a bizarre joke. well here's some links for you anyway http://www.stonehenge.co.uk/history.phphttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge Also http://www.stonehenge-stone-circle.co.uk/stone-circle.htm You do realise Stonehenge is simply the biggest one right? There is in fact thousands all over the British countryside. http://www.stone-circles.org.uk/ As Brit i can assure you the Government has far more important things to do than fake historic sites, as someone else pointed out we have enough without faking any. To even consider this is laughable.

Are they building it or restoring it?

Restoring it. For example, here is a photograph of Stonehenge taken in 1877:

The tires on that crane setup sure don't look 1800's.

Just proof we are running out of things to talk about, it used to be enough to ponder the mysteries of these things, now we have to ponder a conspiracy?

Then there is this NG article from 2009 which reads "But what in fact do they mean? Despite countless theories offered over centuries, no one knows."

Are you implying that we are humas?

Those are some really good quailty photos for the 1800's....

Nice truck tires.

Anyway, this thread seems like a good excuse to post this.
