How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think.

Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...

Bevins and Pearce on Chinese TV
An interesting piece on Chinese TV about the new geological discoveries re the zircons and the stones from Pont Saeson. A pity about the guff at the end, about the stones being moved to the "harbours" of Cardigan Bay....... I wonder where the Chinese film crew got all that from? Maybe all academics from Wales are following instructions from Visit Wales to promote the beauties (and the Neolithic connections) of Newport, New Quay and Cardigan? Maybe there is something in their job descriptions that prevents them from saying anything that might upset the archaeology establishment?
