The bluestones at Stonehenge
Still not sure how all this works, so here goes....
I know that many of you with Welsh links have a strong interest in the old myth of bluestone transport from the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire to that ruinous old monument called Stonehenge. It's my mission in life to convince the archaeologists that the myth is just that -- a myth which has no evidence to support it.....
I'm a geographer by training, and I'm convinced that the bluestones at Stonehenge are simply glacial erratics, transported by ice during one of the big glacial episodes. Feel free to take a look at my blog, and maybe contribute to it!

All contributions treated with due respect, so long as they are on the topic......
Ah -- thanks for putting the YouTube video onto the site, Ceri. Much appreciated. I hope people will enjoy it, and find it useful for more understanding of the strange link between Stonehenge and Wales.
Just got your message about the YouTube vid...will embed here tomorrow...nos da
If the YouTube link doesn't work, the video is called "Stonehenge Unhinged." Enjoy!
k...late here...1.42...please keep posting. I always wondered why anyone would go to the trouble of dragging ( and floating ) those particular stones to that particular location. A stone is a stone. If you have a local supply why bother? Will read tomorrow...right now...must crash...diolch
Ah -- the picture has suddenly appeared! The Welsh broadband system triumphs again -- ever so slowly...
The whole blog (several hundred posts by now) builds up an irresistible case! Lots of info on glaciation, glacial history, and on the defects of the "human transport" theory. You can also have a look at this YouTube video:
By the way, I think the picture problem may be down to the flaky broadband connection here in rural west Wales.....
If the platform continues to misbehave please send pic to americymru@gmail.com and I will wrestle it into submission. Let me know what text needs to be included.
Can you give us the link for the particular post in which you argue your case?
Thanks Ceri -- tried to put a picture on, but the system refused to cooperate. Is there a trick I need to know?
