Lithen Here Myth
Toppling myths has never been my forte, nor was it my intention. But if a myth has been leaning at a rather tenuous angle for a dreadfully long time, it seems to me as though that last little shove might be looked on as an act of mercy.
From druid site of worship, to sundial with an overactive pituitary, countless speculations have been offered up over the centuries as explanations for the existence of Stonehenge. With surprisingly little research, and even less effort, I’ve been able to surmise the true purpose of this mysterious structure.
Shadow puppets.
A trained archaeologist who had been sleeping in the backseat of an automobile during a lengthy trip might discern the route which had been taken by examining the number and species of fauna embedded in the grill and splattered against the windshield of the vehicle. Employing similar principles, I deduced that the henge was originally constructed as a Day Care Center.
Stones and platforms were added later in order for part-time help to stage elaborate productions, using little more than used Popsicle sticks and rodent pelts, to cast fantastical images into the center of the henge. While the children were distracted, providers on the ground would slip measured amounts of rum into the Kool-Aid.
Afternoons were serene at Stonehenge.

I don't know Pin....Rum in the Kool-Aid
is probably what got the place shut down.

You're right...vodka would have been the better choice.

A very theatrical presentation of your clever discovery. It is a bit amazing that history nor archeology have made the findings before now.

I find that both of these disciplines, while vital, have rather narrow fields of vision. I'm just trying to take up the slack.

I'm certainly glad that you put that one to bed! Maybe it could be rejuvenated and used again? I have a collection of popsicle sticks I could donate.

Now we just need some rodent pelts. I'll put Gwendolyn to work.

I have always had a sneaking suspicion that most of the "mysteries" in life, whether alien abductions or those fabled lost civilizations, amount to little more than shadow puppets. It's nice that you've found the evidence that proves it.

I always like to double check my sources. Even when they're nonexistent.
