The builders were the first serious football fans and the purpose of Stonehenge was the first football stadium. Afterwards, someone finally asked what is football, and they realized the game had not yet been invented. Thus Stonehenge Stadium and Football Club were abandoned.

Reckon playing football with a bowling ball would be fitting within Stonehenge

A long time ago, some proto-British lads stacked some stones on top of one another and we’ve spent the next 4,000 years trying to work out why when the answer is probably as simple as: “Luv me stones, luv piling stones, ‘ate unturned stones. Simple as!”

That is how I choose to view it.

Would love to trek across the pond and have a look at some stone. Ikind of hope we never learn how they were assembled. It's part of the charm.

I think you misspelled ‘Spongehenge’. Jk. Great video, I really love the deeper dives into the more niche historical sites.

Sorry, but I gave up when you used BCE.

@DecadesVideos 11 ай бұрын

What's wrong with BCE?

@stephengraham5099 11 ай бұрын

@@DecadesVideos I'm used to BC and AD. It is nothing to do with religion as I have no faith. Maybe I was rather hasty. I'll grit my teeth and give it another go.. I bought a book (Ancestors) by Alice Roberts and she used BCE which was rather irritating.

I appreciate you taking a chance on it; both do refer to the same timescale and since that's a timescale founded in Christianity it's up to individual preference I suppose. Where BCE and CE differs from BC and AD is instead of translating to "Before Christ" and "Anno Domini", it simply means "Before Common/Current Era" and "Common/Current Era" which makes it translate as more religiously neutral when engaging with people online who don't know nor need to know a narrator's personal beliefs even if the use of the traditional BC and AD is perfectly fine and doesn't necessarily imply that either. I find that from a neutral, (wannabe) professional standpoint, getting into habits that you can standardise to ensure your words cannot be minced is important whether it be something subtle like this, or more obvious things. Even then, it's little more than a preference in how I want to conduct this channel from a creative standpoint too.

Indeed, thanks for taking the time for your detailed reply. It was a very well produced video.
