The team was very excited when I was there by this black and white image. It's a scan of an existing barrow and in this image the archaeological team see a segmented ditch and 24 deep pits which they say would probably have been dug for timbers and a wooden structure. A wooden henge. The diagram on the right shows this more clearly.

Ping!

Is it in danger of being trampled by dwarves?

SO is this called “wood henge”?

The giants and their half human offspring were a busy group during the pre-fload years.

"SO is this called “wood henge”?"

It can't be...I've got "wood henge" right here.

From This is Spinal Tap

Derek Smalls: Can I raise a practical question at this point? Are we gonna do “Stonehenge” tomorrow?
David St. Hubbins: *NO*, we’re not gonna ******* do “Stonehenge”!

I believe it actually is called Woodhenge.

New? I remember seeing a documentary about the second "wood" henge on the discovery channel at least a year ago. I suppose it's still relatively "new", but not hot off the presses for sure.

Recent research shows that the circle at Stonehenge is perfectly aligned with the cardinal points of the compass, as they existed in 6000 BC.

The "Giants" or Nephalim as in Genesis 6 are the progeny of fallen angels and women. They were born sterile hybrids like mules and cannot procreate.

And a stone age culture like the Druids built the henge(s) with antlers and rocks..yea right, more incredible crap peddled by clueless university science to try and delude the masses, despite all the evidence, there is no G*d. There are some stones in a ruin outside of Damascus that weight so much that there are no currently available cranes, winches or any other machine that can lift them. But ancient cultures did this with no help(occultic) and simply used some form of unknown technology. Do atheists realize how stupid they sound.

Thanks for posting. The scan is interesting.

The existanceof an earlier henge of wood/timber has been known for some time but the scan isnew.

the methods of getting the stones upright is well-known. Transporting them was another matter and still not understood.

I'd be interested in more info if you have it. There are some impressively large stones in the subterranean parts of the Western Wall in Jerusalem. (My first reaction upon seeing one of them that was probably 40 feet long was, "Forget the pyramids. How did they build this thing? - the wall.) Wondering about this and other large stones of antiquity I went googling and quickly found: The Top-50 Megaliths: (The largest cut-stones of all time).

Here you go Ruins, as an aside this temple was built to worship pagan demons. My personal theory after a lifetime of study into all things esoteric and reading quite a few books on the subject on ancient civilizations is that most if not all of them tapped into some occultic forces. Talking hardcore demon and Satan worship which can summon powers to manipulate gravity and bend the laws of physics. Satan the great counterfeiter tries desperately to mimic G*d's power and glory and deceive us with his false omnipotence. Some very high people in Wiccan and Lucifer worship can on command conjur demonic forces, levitate objects, inflict pain, etc. Actually a pretty pathetic display of power, but then again humanity has a tendency to marvel at the pathetic and evil. A fallen Cherubim like Satan against G*d, yea who you got.....

SO is this called “wood henge”?

Yes.

For when Shrrrubbery was required.
