STONEHENGE
THE LOST CIRCLE - REVEALED
BBC - Stonehenge: The Lost Circle Revealed
Professor Alice Roberts
Professor Alice Roberts follows a decade-long historical quest to reveal a hidden secret of the famous bluestones of Stonehenge.
Using cutting-edge research, a dedicated team of archaeologists led by Professor Mike Parker Pearson have painstakingly compiled evidence to fill in a 400-year gap in our knowledge of the bluestones, and to show that the original stones of Britain’s most iconic monument had a previous life.
Alice joins Mike as they put together the final pieces of the puzzle, not just revealing where the stones came from, how they were moved from Wales to England or even who dragged them all the way, but also solving one of the toughest challenges that archaeologists face

Yo Andy, hope you're keeping well during these crazy times.
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be yet another thing 'stolen' from the Welsh and taken by the English. I've started a petition to get it returned to its rightful home!!
Cheers and stay safe neighbour.

Let's take it back!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Dave - great programme and if a bit too academic but fascinating none the less we now know not only that the theory of moving the 'blue stones' from Wales was true but also precisely where from! Extraordinary! Having the White Horse Hill and The Rollright Stones near to us on our doorstep practically lends me to be interested in such stuff. Do you know the wonderful pair of books by Julian Cope? The Modern Antiquarian is a fine book and am saving for the sequel (not cheap) but well worth owning I reckon
