Well, I might be loony, but about a month ago Rainwife and I were at Stonehenge... I've noticed something there and looked around for what it could be... I couldn't find any mentioning of it. I know it's very ambitious on my behalf, but I've contacted the British Royal Academy about this and I'm waiting for their reply.

What I think this shows is a Viking Dragonship on the side of one of the stones. Being only a tourist I off course wasn't allowed closer so I did the best I could with the zoom of my camera...

What do you think?

BTW - if you see it in person it does have more resemblence... Especially if you have good binoculars with you.

What's so special about ships on the stones? Someone else could have made them. A long time ago. Maybe the Celts had no idea what Stonehenge was and painted on it...I don't know much about history and Stonehenge, but you asked for our opinions...

Hmm, I wouldn't be so sure you're the first person to notice it. Imagine how many people would have looked at that same spot..

Also corrected the title. One of our best reviewers, and he still writes "Snoehenge"...

EDIT:
That's perfectly OK. I'm not saying I'm actually right and that it is a Viking ship. It may just be a horse shoe for all I know... The exciting part (at least for me) is, that although there are many mentionings of Stonehenge and every stone has like a dozen or so books of explenations written about it - I hadn't found a mentioning of this image - whatever it is (not claiming I was actually able to go through all the material on Stonehenge).

Intresting let us know when they contact you.

That stone on the left also seems like it has a symbol of some sort...

I think those Royal Goodfornuttins don't give a sh*t about what Borut found... <_< I don't even think they ever gonna reply, unless some automated or premade response like "thank you for your interest in Stonehenge! We are please that you like this old pile of stones that even we don't know what is it good for, and we don't care really until you come and pay for seeing it...." or something like that. I think the aliens made those. Many think it's an old calender or something, but why would they make such a fuss about a simple calendar? well, I like mysteries.... ^_^

Actually the real truth of what this find is Borut,is that...hey is that a revolver I see sliding through my windo... *bang* *head falls on keyboard. :ph34r:



P.S. My ghost thinks its a wonderful a cool find, and I hope you find out what it really is, because what it really is is...*drinks soda* *tastes poison* *head falls on keyboard again* :bleh:

Real P. S. I really do think this is a cool find. :D :bye:

It is not mentioned in any Stonehenge books for the simple reason that [idle speculation alert!] the chance of that being on the stone when it was erected is about zero. The culture that propped up those megaliths was long gone by the time of the roman conquest. The real problem with any book that tries to explain the significance of the stones at Stonehenge is that they were erected by a mystery cult from a preliterate society. They never wrote anything down and they never talked to outsiders about it. Aside from astronomical alignments, we have nothing more than tales given by people who were not sure, themselves, what their neighbours were doing.

There are the remains of the wooden structures resembling the Stonehenge and some archeological finds, but nothing conclusive.

I think you're right. It's highly improbable (if not actually impossible) that this image would be on the stone from the very begining on. It may be some sort of medieval grafitti or nothing at all. And that is exactly why I did notify an institution which does have the possibility to (if nothing else) have a person come right up to the stone and try to determine what this could be in the first place. There's always a chance it's nothing more then a coinsidance.

UNLESS.....(huge one).....we have a gap in the past that we know absolutelynothing about and the people managed to have a civilization advanced enough to have boats like the vikings centuries later, but something happened and they dissappeared together with their technology. So for example Stonehedge could be one of 5 similar structures, one built on modern Iceland, one on Marocco, one on England, one on USA and one on the middle somewhere on the lost Atlantis!!! But of course!

Yeah and the one on atlantis was the main one and controlled all other untill it sunk and stuff. and it is really a teleport to iceland ,england,moroko and atlantis!!!!!!!!!

and where's the star gate?

First of, neither of you could spell "Morocco", which shows your gegraphical knowledge.

Secondly, cut the conspiracy theories.. we've had enough of those o last all year.

Can you spell geographical?

Nice pics Seb. Interesting, what with the "painting" and all...

Its early. Mrhhh

:roflol: and the air is filled with a fleet of asgard warships...

Can you spell geographical? [/b][/quote]
Not bad, Troop, not bad. :D

I'm gonna look for that one too... Going to Egypt next week :Brain: - for the honey moon :wub:

But I'm gonna try and keep an eye out for one or two stargates... If I find one we'll make a SGA(bandonia) team to go through first. If they make it back I might give it a go :sneaky:

ah you are going to Egypt and i am going to an exam :angry:

Egypt one day i will go.... when i get enough money. right now i have some other plans.

oh and keept an eye out, maybe the pyramids also have some like these stones on them.

anyway do you think that is a painting or is it lichen? it could be a lichen that grew over a painting. can't wait for the reply of royal academy.

A SGA team? can I enter that one? :D

About that image, it is impossible to determine what it is at that distance... you would have to look closer. However there are certain things that are only visible at a certain distance ("The Candelabra of the Andes" just come in to my mind, and the "Long man of Wilmington" is another example)

It can be anything, even a piece of "moss" or its absence (although it doesn't look much like that)... it is probably much newer than the rocks, but if they don't let people come closer, then it must not be that recent (of course this is just speculation too :tomato: )

:ok: Nice on Seb!

It looked to me like there was a shape in the middle of the U-shape as well. This may not be a dragon boat, but it may be a symbol of some sort. However, I've never heard of symbols in connection with stonehenge.

Two possibilities. 1) The builders of stonehenge actually used symbols that we were un aware of. 2) This is a classic case of after-the-fact modification by some third party. Possibly vandilism.

But like the number of licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop, "the world my never know".

OK, here's the first reply I've got from the academy: We are currently on holidays. Your message will be viewed at a later time.

So far that answer reveils nothing LOL

I KNEW IT!!! I told you this would happen :bleh:

They couldn't care less about this, all they care is they nice holiday...

I think this SGA is not a bad idea at all, but we shall start raising an army if we are to conquer the universe :D The Abandonia Universe... how cool is that :D

could be a dragonship. it could be a torque.. the henge has gone thru many periods of use and has been carved by many different cultures. however there is only one problem. you see where the bottom of the proposed half circle is. the circle is obscured by an outcropping. if it was a carving then it would continue into the outcroopping rather than appearing to go underneath it unless
the outcropping is a lichenous mass, moss ect
also such bulbous outcroppings will appear on stones due to acid rain.
(or maybe the person doing the carving thought it looked like a wave and wanted the ship rising out from it.)
having said that the more i look at it the more i want to belive it is something. quite a few carvings have been discovered over the past 10 years. and a lot of them are only visable to the naked eye when the light is at the right angle.

Interesting article.

This could actually go well with my theory on what Stonehenge really is: an unfinshed burial mount.

There are plenty of those around the site, this one was just supose to be bigger. The stones are perfectly alligned with the stars, because they wanted to achieve the effect of sunlight reaching the place of the body only on certain days - like in Newgrange.

So they made sure the rays would hit the right spot on the right days, the stones could also be the "support beams" for it... they just never got around to finish it - to cover it all up (or maybe even to complete building the circle). I mean the outer stones are lower, the inner stones higher (like if they were trying to build a dome over it).

I know - it's just another theory, but hey, who knows.

its an aincent computer.
some sod must have left a manual around somewhere..
i dont know if h.ps legacy section goes as far back as technical manuals for stone circles.
i think its more than a burial site. the network it sits in the middle of... kinda gives it extra significance. and you can tell the time with it. all you can do with a pyrimid is sharpen a razor. wheras with stonehenge you got all the ainchent holidays mapped out. wait for the sun to alighn and its party time.
get there for a solstice if you can seb so you can touch the stones.
(hmm stonehenge)
(thinks: ainchent terminal server)
if you decide to get there for the summer solstice pm me.
i may go there this year, or maybe avebury.. not yet decided.

I'm on it. You give me my sniper rifle, I give you cover.
I'd like an M82, and, if it's not too much trouble, a nice mat
plus a silenced MP5 for close combat.


Oh, and a bottle of Evian would be nice :D .

speaking of which

Well, I hope not... Just in case, let me say I haven't seen nothing at all... Stonehenge? A mark? Where? Where? I don't know anything about any damned mark :whistle:
:D
