Stonehenge: mystery solved?

[HairOfTheDog]

A new theory is being propagated by the Stonehenge Riverside Project.
Their ten years of research has led them to conclude that if the stones could talk, they would tell the tale of the unity and peace that followed a long period of intense conflict between eastern and western Britain. The monument, in their opinion, was built to unify the two sides.

The researchers based their theory on on the social and economic climate in Britain between 3,000 B.C. and 2,500 B.C., when Stonehenge was erected. They also claim that since the monument is situated on a series of natural landforms, with the stones arranged so the land draws a line between the directions of the summer solstice sunrise and midwinter sunset, the "unification" message is clear since this alignment was meaningful to communities at that time.

Other/previous theories as to why Stonehenge was erected include:
-The monument was erected as an acoustic environment, designed in order to support certain sound illusions.
-The monument was a place of healing.
-The monument was an ancient observatory or a place of sacrifice?

Which excludes you from the literate.

Nowhere does my post claim that this theory solves the mystery, though the researchers involved claim that it does. So, what's your point, sir?

Usually, in 'tardwarfare' this ^^^^ gets your opponent to back off.

Not so with smart people however.

Dick's in full recoil mode.

And no where did mine say you had.

had your title said

"Has the stonehenge mystery been solved"? it would have been a complete question.

But as written it was left up to the reader to decide if it was a question or a statement with a question mark.

I took it as the latter and decided it was ironic to even assume the question would need to be asked if indeed it was a question which I doubt seriously that it was.

True Dat!

On a Saturday morning I'd bet he'd even be pleased to see IMaDick's cleavage.
(And don't lie, anyone who's that particular about punctuation has a little bit of the girly girl within, and you know you've got it.)

You are being non-sensical and foolish. I'm hoping that it's because you have a wonderful anniversary celebration planned and your ability to think clearly is impaired by an extra dose of love and affection. Otherwise, you just have rocks in your head this morning.

Could it be both reasons?

It's tempting to do the same bet as the last one that thought that.

Because you say so? That shit always cracks me up.

ask a complete question you will get a response to the question, make a statement with a question mark and I will answer how I want to.

That's a valid theory, OBK. I'm glad that you phrased it as a question. That makes it very clear that you are pondering the reason for Dick's jello brain today, rather than definitively claiming that you have solved the mystery.

Another rhetorical question just like the first.

A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question that is asked in order to make a point and without the expectation of a reply.

If you feel the thread questions are rhetorical (which, btw, they are not), stop replying!!!!!!

If you feel that the question is not rhetorical then rephrase the question to make it require/elicit either opinion or a direct answer.

"stonehenge mystery solved"?

check it out my sweet.

Rhetorical questions aren't really questions at all, in that they don't expect an answer. They're really just statements phrased in question form: "Isn't John's design work so creative?"

Do you agree that your question was in form a rhetorical question?

If you wanted to ask a probing question properly it would have been this.


Has the stonehenge mystery been solved?

Could this be the answer to the stonehenge mystery?

Has this new study discovered the mystery to stonehenge?
