Stonehenge Plaques Hold Secret Cultural Data, Says New Study
Ancient Origins ^ | 5 NOVEMBER, 2021 - 00:55 | ASHLEY COWIE

Four Neolithic “chalk plaques” were discovered near Stonehenge between 1968–2017. A new study has shown that the ancient illustrations on the Stonehenge plaques are much more than just abstract patterns. The Stonehenge plaques were buried in a pit about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from England’s most famous ancient monument. English Heritage scientists have dated the plaques to between 2900 BC and 2580 BC. The new study has called these four ancient art works “some of the most spectacular chalk designs ever discovered in Britain.”

According to an article on Silent Earth , the plaque pit in which the artworks were discovered is located directly south of an entrance to the famous Cursus monument at Stonehenge, in Wiltshire, England. This is probably no coincidence and suggests some kind of connection between the chalk Stonehenge plaques and the Cursus, which was in use 500 to 820 years before the plaques were deposited in the nearby pit.

Examples of two-dimensional Neolithic artwork is a rarity in Britain, and chalk incisions, like these, are truly unique and unusual. The ancient chalk images discovered on the surface of the plaques have now been mapped by researchers at Wessex Archaeology and the full findings of the study were published in the journal Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society .

5000-Year-Old Prehistoric Temple Discovered On Scottish Island Outside the Circle: The Ancient Stonehenge Landscape – A Wider Perspective Since the first plaque was discovered in 1968, many archaeologists have been skeptical, maintaining that the chalk marks were mere random etchings. But now, using advanced imaging techniques, a team of scientists have revealed underlying “ geometric designs ” executed by artisans wielding “a range of artistic abilities,” according to the new study.

The tablets say,

“1 mile to communal dining and rest stop. Please remember to:

Bring firewood for other visitors to use.

Clean the fire and dining facilities, when finished.

Replace any missing roof thatching noticed.

Thank You,

The Druid Society”

Almost certainly the Nephilim form about 6000-4000 years B.C. Bible talks about them. Mutant giants that got into man’s gene pool but were destroyed in the 5000 B.C. flood and disappeared.

I thought white people didn’t have culture, at least according to the “woke”.

Although speculation abounds that the mutations somehow reentered the gene pool long ago.

Let alone be called an indigenous people to any area no matter how long they lived there.

Not sure we have much evidence of that do we?

Other than maybe in Dr. Hammond's Jurassic Park...

these people were probably murdered by heart attacks and strokes induced by forcibly-injected Big Pharma Covid fake vaccines

Not trying to say we should only have a global population of 500,000,000?

The stones were apparently transported from Whales to their present location... They dragged the stones over 150 miles from their original location near the quarry where they were cut from. "The earliest megalithic circle at Stonehenge was first built in the west of Wales more than 5,000 years ago, before its stones were dug up and dragged over 140 miles (225 kilometers) to its present site in the west of England, new research suggests."

Original location...

Current location...

Just so you get the reference, there are claims by some extreme leftists, that is the “woke”, that white people have no culture. That is European culture does not exist. Yes, we know it is nonsense, but just to give you insight into the left’s demented mindset.
