Not only are Moses and Aaron's corpses beneath Heelstone but the gold Mercy Seat, the gold Ark of the Testimony, the gold Table of Shewbread, the gold Candlestick, the gold Ephod, the gold Breastplate and the gold Altar of Incense also. According to DI's new 2004 ground-penetrating radargrams all seven (7) are packed inside of the brasen Altar of Burnt Offering 4 ft (1.2m) under Heelstone, with that southernmost gold Ark of the Covenant long axis being east-west. G-D old 1656 core samples indicate the gold Table of Shewbread as northernmost and gold Altar of Incense inside the brasen Altar of Burnt Offering in the center, 4 ft (1.2m) below the Heelstone's base, at Stonehenge.

A large 8'x8'x4' artifact below Heelstone at Stonehenge? Other than a core sample of it (1656), a magnetic survey of it (1984), an electromagnetic (EM) conductivity survey of it (1984), and a seismic refraction survey of it (1984); no other tangible proof of it being in Scroll Trench where it is circled by Heelstone Ditch exists, save and except for: an electrical resistivity survey of it (1994), a ground-penetrating radargram of it (2004), confirmation geophysical surveys of it (2004), and a confirmation core sample of it (2004). Should this 8'x8'x4' artifact below Heelstone be removed before being stolen? It is right next to a paved highway for God's sake!

If this isn't an April Fools, I am gunna go chain myself to Stone Henge. The main point of Stone Henge is that we DON'T KNOW!

Haha, Beau has a really good point! Maybe I should join him. 0___0

I actually saw this a long time ago on this thread. and theres anything one on here because I think it was double posted. Pretty elaborate if it's not real.

Drats...I think it is real.

Well, that's pretty aweful...I feel as if my culture was a rug pulled out from under my feet.

[Fragglemuppet]

Well if you think about it, the point of a lot of things was that we didn't know, before people found the answers. Now, whether people should be trying to uncover all the secrets of the world is a different question.
;) Still, the idea is kind of interesting.

Well, it is good to know I'm sure you mush agree. Perhaps it's enriched you're culture and given it more depth.:search:

[MrsPepper]

I don't have the patience to look at the two dozen links listed, but if I did maybe it would say something about excavating so carefully that nothing would be changed? I don't know though, even that sounds like asking for trouble. It would be like going to Ireland and touching the tree in a fairy ring; you're just asking for trouble from the other world. *shudders* Freaky stuff.

[Fragglemuppet]

I agree. That's what I meant by people trying to uncover the worlds' secrets not being a bery good idea. And even though the prospect of touching a tree in a fairy ring sounds kind of cool in a devilish kinda way, (I'm gonna burn for saying that.),
;) there is something quite different about dragging a bunch of clunky machenery and loud, spiritually insensative and overly academic people into such hallowed places.

By the way, I didn't even have the patience to read through one of those articles. Just the text in that post alone was hard to get through!
:)

[Beauregard]

Well...yes, they arn't changing anything. But the mystery of Stonehenge is that they don't know anything more than guesses as to how it got there, why it's there, or when.

Apparently digging beneith it they found loads of sick people's remains and are speculating about healing powers of the rocks.

But I was afraid that they would find some new conclusive evidence as to how/when/where/why it appeared and that would ruin Stonehenge, to me, forever.

[Beakerfan]

Well, I didn't go through the links, but if you go by the Bible/church history, NOBODY knows where Moses is buried (God buried him), and NOBODY knows where the Ark of the Covenant is. I can't say for sure about the rest of the stuff.

[Beauregard]

I couldn't find that information in the links anyway, Beaks. Although I only followed a few.

[Davina]

all i know is that it would be very difficult to chain yourself to stonehenge... as they don't allow anyone that close anymore... *sigh* I was out there back in '93 and it's all chained off and inside a nice big fence... they'll let you in the fence, but not past the barrier... too many idiots in the past defacing it.. *sigh* was a huge let down not to be able to walk amongst the stones or even touch them... ah well....

Hmmm...Interesting...

Who are you and why are you posting this facinating information anyway?

I'm royally freaked out still :p

It is kinda weird he joined MC just to post this stuff- double identity?

[MrsPepper]

That's what I thought too. He joined in '04 but his only post from then was also about Stonehenge. :/ I think we may have a fake account or a spammer on our hands.

So what do we do next?

[Garry Denke]

Now that Timothy Darvill, Archaeologist and Geoffrey Wainwright, Archaeologist have confirmed Stonehenge broadly mirrors South Wales geology as proposed by Garry Denke, Geologist in the '70s, here are more geological, paleontological, and geophysical papers from their reading list.

Stonehenge Coal Trend

http://www.durhamrecordsonline.com/literature/coalfields-british.gif
http://www.thisisdorset.net/display.var.2199212.0.0.php
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbhistory/F2233812?thread=5273545

Denke is saying that Britain's oldest 3 coal fields surface 40 miles apart, from west to east; Pembrokeshire, South Wales, then Bristol. The first 2 were discovered by Homo erectus 800kya, the third by Neanderthal 100kya, Denke's hand-axes, coal cinders and fly-ashes dated. Later, after the extinction of Homo erectus and Neanderthal, Homo sapiens explored Salisbury Plain for coal, first 10kya (carpark tests), then 5kya (henge ditches). Denke is saying these 3 oldest coal fields of Britain being aligned 40 miles apart is what caused Salisbury Plain coal exploration. Why? Because that area is 40 miles southeast of Bristol in the alignment. That equal distance and direction resulted in Woodhenge, Durrington Walls, Stonehenge, Avebury henges, etc. being dug 5kya by Homo sapiens on Salisbury Plain. None of them had any coal of course, and according to Denke they discovered certain coal bearing "white stone" (limestone vs. chalk) differences, carbonate fossils, as the cause. Because the other henge sites were being lived on by Homo sapiens, unoccupied Stonehenge was chosen for the school, with athletics. Later, 'education' rocks from around Britain's first 2 coal fields, Pembrokeshire and South Wales, were brought for Geology class exhibits. Teachers and parents honored Welsh coal miners on Saturdays, student football was on Sundays. Personally, my thought on this is that Denke is insane, because schools never have athletics.
