What bothers me is that these amazing "photos" of distant galaxies are no such thing. They are made up by NASA artists extrapolating data about temperature change between one pixel and another. Might be complete bollox.

Secrets of Stonehenge revealed.........
Quote:
Stonehenge Decoded Stonehenge seemed to be a fertility calendar, for people who satled down near by. The remains of thousends of houses where found in the area surroundings. The houses have been radiocarbon dated to 2600-2500 B.C., the same period Stonehenge was built, one of the facts that leads the archaeologists to conclude that the people who lived in the Durrington Walls houses were responsible for constructing Stonehenge. Every year people from all over the land gathered here to celebrate life. Another type of henge made of wood (Woodhenge) was found at 3 kilometers from the stone one. Stonehenge and Durrington Walls were intimately connected: Durrington's purpose was to celebrate life and deposit the dead in the river for transport to the afterlife, while Stonehenge was a memorial and even final resting place for some of the dead. Stonehenge's avenue, discovered in the 18th century, is aligned on the midsummer solstice sunrise, while the Durrington avenue lines up with midsummer solstice sunset. Similarly, the Durrington timber circle was aligned with midwinter solstice sunrise, while Stonehenge's giant stone trilithon framed the midwinter solstice sunset. .

I never quite figured out if these funny circled shapes in England were hand made and thus the whole deal was a hoax or not.
Read somewhere that some of them could not be a hoax though. Too complex to engineer and lay out? I've absolutely no idea...

I know it's pushing it to expect an explanation on a porn forum, but where did all the material for the Big Bang come from?

I don't think anyone will ever be able to fully understand and explain Stonehenge, as it was constructed over hundreds of years. and was de-constructed once or twice to facilitate the re-builds. These could have been done by different people or the same people who wanted to use it for different reasons ands we'll never really know who built it or why.
