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. This blog is mostly devoted to the problems of where the Stonehenge bluestones came from, and how they got from their source areas to the monument. Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...
Michael Palin as the dodgy estate agent (but aren't they all?) is very convincing, as is the historical scenario. Michael follows in a long line of Sheffield-based fans of Stonehenge, preceded by me, and followed by someone called Mike Parker Pearson, who has recently got quite caught up with it all.
.......................as you can see, Alex, he's been a very naughty boy since quite a young age, judging from the photo of him that appears in "If Only Stones Could Speak" (on a trip there with his parents as a child).
One day MP's joke will pale in-to insignificance, like one of his other contributions, "the Life Of Brian", which never ONCE mentioned or featured you, BJ.
And I hate to say that about a fellow Sheffielder and Sheffield Wednesdayite. Sorry, Michael, but Michael Vaughan rates higher.
