England's enigmatic Stonehenge served as a burial ground from its earliest beginnings — perhaps for ancient kings or chieftains, researchers reported Thursday.

Radiocarbon dating of cremated remains shows that burials took place as early as 3000 B.C., when the first ditches around the monument were being built, said University of Sheffield archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson. Those burials continued for at least 500 years, when the giant stones that mark the mysterious circle were being erected, he said.

Cue up Spinal Tap's 4 foot henge.

doesnt explain how they moved those giant fucking rocks though

no shit, right.

Im sure they used the wheel, in some shape or form. Well, probably still circular, but yeah.

I have a script to Nat Geographic. When that issue came in last month I was pumped.

N.G. is supreme. Even their tv channel rules.

what i want to know is, how Conal Cochran from Silver Shamrock got one of the stones out of England, through customs, and into his factory.

i love pre-judeo/christian europe.
