Talk about linking two things that can’t be linked. What a joke of a headline.

So, they built a beautiful and elaborate system of navigation, and did pretty much nothing else? To get from one clutch of stone and stick huts to the next?

Thank goodness for the Roman and Norse invasions!

LONDON: In a new research, a scientist has found that prehistoric man navigated his way across England using a crude version of a satellite navigation system, which was based on stone circle markers. According to a report in the Telegraph, the research, by historian and writer Tom Brooks, shows that Britain’s Stone Age ancestors were “sophisticated engineers” and far from a barbaric race.

The only problem was that prehistoric man had a tough getting the "GPS log" to stay in orbit....

Sat-Nav (GPS) is man’s crude version of God’s wonders.....”The earth, the moon and the stars”.....in sync...

Centuries later the stones were replaced with metallic plates that further increased the precision of navigation...

Brooks found that they all lie on a vast geometric grid made up of isosceles triangles.

Many are 100 miles or more away,

Each triangle has two sides of the same length and point to the next settlement.

Thus, anyone standing on the site of Stonehenge in Wiltshire could have navigated their way to Lanyon Quoit in Cornwall without a map.

Wot an idjit!

So, I'm here at the first stone circle thingy, ow the 'ell do I know were the next circle thingy is?

Hunnert miles you say? Mebbe more? Ow, that's four, five, mebbe six days on shank's mare, never mind no food with them bluidy scot MacDonalds kine rustlers way up north.

And so far as finding the Welsh, well the onion smell kinda of leads you to them, dunnit.

Bluidy historian, couldn't find a footpath without a swift kick... ah well, an idjit I say.
