Stonehenge may have been burial site for Stone Age elite, say archaeologists
"Dating cremated bone fragments of men, women and children found at site puts origin of first circle back 500 years to 3,000BC"
[---]
"More than 50,000 cremated bone fragments, of 63 individuals buried at Stonehenge, have been excavated and studied for the first time by a team led by archaeologist Professor Mike Parker Pearson, who has been working at the site and on nearby monuments for decades. He now believes the earliest burials long predate the monument in its current form."
It is very, very interesting - and mysterious. I've been to Stonehenge, back in the days when you could walk right up to it and touch the stones.

I still vividly remember another theory, here:

I'm still wondering how the hell they managed to quarry and transport to the site and raise those massive stones, some of which weigh up to 50 tons.

Snoop, ahem. There may be something to that theory, but I submit they have the wrong sex. Those "monoliths" are more likely some other body part on some other body.

Dave. Aliens. Do-do. Do -do. Do-do. Do-do. Screech. screech.
