Stonehenge Dated Also Used As Mystical Healing Center

Also the modern day Druids were consulted before the excavation.

Living proof that professional archaeologists and wackos can work together.

The Smithsonian Magazine has a feature on this in the latest edition.

Lots of "touchy feely" supposition ans speculation.

From your second link.

"Why go to the colossal effort and expense of moving four-tonne megaliths 250km (150 miles) across land and sea from Preseli, a work of global engineering comparable only with the contemporary building of the Great Pyramid at Giza"?

For the same reasons.

A multi-year make work project.

There's a joke in here somewhere. Perhaps about being mystically cured of the desire to travel around rural parts of the UK in a large tour bus.

I forgot to put a '?' after the title as I usually would when posting something like this.

Because something always pops-up after they announce these types of discoveries .

<i>&quot;Why go to the colossal effort and expense of moving four-tonne megaliths 250km (150 miles) across land and sea from Preseli, a work of global engineering comparable only with the contemporary building of the Great Pyramid at Giza&quot;?</i>

A widespread economic depression had struck the area, and the government felt that by putting enough citizens to work, taxpayer dollars could be used to begin a national recovery...
