Was Stonehenge a Round Building?

Posted by Alex in Paranormal on June 21, 2007 at 1:53 pm


Professional puzzle inventor (apparently, there is such a thing) Bruce Bedlam has created a scale model of what he thought Stonehenge should look like: a round building revolving around the number 3:

He believes that the Wiltshire monument was created with a large, domed roof made from wood and covered in wooden tiles.

Bruce believes the siting was significant and the sun would enter the interior at every solstace through one of the ten doors.

The enormous interior would have been illuminated at various times of the day and every part of the building was correlated around the number three.

The theory suggests that beams were used to create a roof that came to a point above the monument.

They were held together in place by gravity and the shape would have been accousticaly perfect, according to Bruce.

    is there evidence to support it, such as large beams found at the site?

    I think it's absurd... Why are the stones placed perpendicular to the radial lines? They would fall... So this guy placed those wooden supports...

    Well, if we're in this line of thinking, yayo, we should ask: why bother with those heavy stones at all? Just build the thing from timber.

    They wouldn't be likely to find any large beams due to rot over the years. If lucky you can dig up a posthole and notice the change in soil.

    They have carbon dated the rocks. That doesn't help telling us who and when they were put there. This solution is a very real possibility. I've always thought that it might have just been a couple of hundred years old, and was a barn or house.

    I,ve been stonehenge a few times,at the free festivals of yore and my theory is that it was designed by dogs so that in the future thier "Masters" would gather enmasse to facilitate a huge canine dog orgy!Seriosly thay always looked like they were have more fun that the crusty hippes and druids who gathered to "Worship" the "Sun"!!!

    This is incredibly weak thinking. He says, "I... came to the conclusion that Stonehenge must have been a building - and why not?" And why not? Coming up with some random scenario and saying "why not?" hardly constitutes a solution.
