National Geographic Channel are airing a 2 hour documentary about Stonehenge on Sunday 1st June at 8pm.

It promises to uncover startling new evidence to support Mike Parker Pearson's theories that Stonehenge and Durrington Walls were linked, and formed parts of a large funerary complex used by late Neolithic Britons.

Excellent, fantastic CGI to bring it to life...although I suspect it will not have been esoteric/detailed enough for some people on here!

T-S

Stonehenge ditch (actually pits) was not uniform in shape or depth, varying in width from 10 feet to 20 feet wide at depths ranging from 4.5 feet to 7 feet deep. No effort was taken in keeping any part of nonuniform Stonehenge ditch (mining pits) clean. Ancient energy coal explorers dug down into the solid base rock, haphazardly here and there, then upon finding no coal outcropping, moved on.

Pearson, et al, think scientists are gullible enough to believe that Stonehenge ditch (mined pits) was dug 10 feet - 20 feet wide and 4.5 feet - 7 feet deep down into solid base rock for the express purpose of sprinkling handfuls of cremation dust into it. Pearson, et al, think scientists are stupid enough to believe in their "holy place" and "domain of the dead" initial first purpose. Newsflash, we're not.
