Just a note as a response to the news that 10 of the 25 bodies found near Stonehenge had Welsh DNA…
NO, it does not mean the Stonehenge builders were Welsh!
For god’s sake, when will this nonsense stop?
How can you come to a conclusion like that?
If I dig up a body in a cemetery does that mean they built the church?
Stupid people.
I am shocked that the university that I’ve worked with are concluding the Stonehenge builders were Welsh. For a start it’s only 10 of the 25 people, less than 40% of the sample.
Secondly – and there is no doubt people from all over the Britain were a part of that building project – what proof do they have that the bodies recovered had anything to do with the building of the monument?
The dates could well be wrong, and unless you find a document giving the names of those involved we will NEVER know who built Stonehenge.
Again, it’s time guesswork based on loose evidence stopped once and for all.
Great for the headlines, but not great for advancing archaeological research.
I am quite annoyed about this, as you can see. I live very close to Stonehenge so it’s in my blood.
