seeder Posted November 22, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Red-faced Stonehenge experts look for clues in wrong area for almost 100 years "For 90 years they have been scouring Pembrokeshire’s Preseli Hills, where Stonehenge’s outer ring is thought to have originated. But yesterday geologists revealed the stones came from another hill, one mile away". http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/444212/Red-faced-Stonehenge-experts-look-for-clues-in-wrong-area-for-almost-100-years OH well, we live and learn!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickian Posted November 22, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hmm, I'd like to see a counter of how many "experts" face-palmed over this. Everyone probably assumed everyone else already looked around for matching stones lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taun Posted November 22, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) "Ummm... Ah.... We made no mistake in our 90 year research into the Preseli Hills... We... ummm... were researching the 'control' site.. and now we are prepared to study the actual site and then compare it to the uh... 'natural' site... Ummm... Ahhh... Yeah, that's it!"...

Leonardo Posted November 22, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Red-faced these archaeologists may be, but at least science has shown itself to be self-correcting - even it it took 90 years to do so! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaYap Posted November 22, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2013 nothing wrong with accepting one's own mistake ... its those pompous blowhards that claims to have known all there is to know that needs to dance naked around the true site at the next festival ... hehehehhe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jim Posted November 25, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 25, 2013 This should serve to remind us that the accepted dogma about all ancient sites might be wrong. Just because something is accepted as true doesn't make it so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keel M. Posted December 3, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2013 At least they were looking in the right country. It would've been a bigger blunder had the stones come from somewhere else entirely rather than from just a different area of Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
