New technology leads to discovery of largest prehistoric structure ever found in Britain
https://www.theguardian.com/scie…
Four thousand five hundred years ago, the Neolithic peoples who constructed Stonehenge, a masterpiece of engineering, also dug a series of shafts aligned to form a circle spanning 1.2 miles (2km) in diameter.
The structure appears to have been a boundary guiding people to a sacred area because Durrington Walls, one of Britain’s largest henge monuments, is located precisely at its centre.

- so Britons in 2000 bc could dig really big holes? no way!Gnash
- A series of shafts is not a structure.monospaced
- Seriously bunch of losers back then, dragging rocks around :)yuekit
- And with Brexit in 2020, we're digging ourselves into an even bigger hole... of shit.shapesalad
- The bigger take away being that researchers were surprised the britons could even count back thenGnash
- I didn't know 'til recently that the stones at Stonehenge (etc) had Lego-like dimples and bumps in for securing:Nairn

- It’s not even a ‘shaft,’ it’s a pit/holeGnash
- Cmon guys, you can read the article right?yuekit
- "Shafts...each more than 5 metres deep and 10 metres in diameter. Approximately 20 have been found and there may have been more than 30."yuekit
- The interesting part I guess is that it was a big enclosed area used for some sort of ritualyuekit
- They only say Shafts’ because saying ‘we found a bunch of really big holes’ probably made the press release sound pretty lameGnash
- lol @ holes vs. shafts debateyuekit
- It’s only a debate in your head, even the guy writing the grant application knows it :)Gnash
- You know I think you're right Gnash, hopefully we can get the word out to the public about this coverup.yuekit
- Lol @ coverup. Some guys digging in the muck 4K years ago — that may, or may not, have learned to count — is not ‘news’.Gnash
- It’s funny that it’s presented as such, and that people got excited by it. That’s all. No conspiracy. It’s not important enough, lol.Gnash
- Hmmm I was under the impression Stonehenge and the other monuments were an impressive technical achievement for the time.yuekit
- Honestly man I don't have a strong opinion on this topic, but you seem weirdly hostile towards ancient British people...yuekit
- Hostile, lol. And who said anything about Stonehenge? If you think digging holes is laudable, awesome for youGnash
- Any hostility you may detect is directed more at way these type of articles are written, and regurgitated by the mediaGnash
- And then consequently shared as if it’s a big dealGnash
- I mean yeah it seems kind of obvious no? This was surrounding Durrington Walls which is next to Stonehenge, part of the same religious site/ complex.yuekit
- No one knows exactly who built it or how they did it. And holes or shafts positioned in a circle were probably not dug for the hell of it but perhaps remnantsyuekit
- of some larger structure that didn't survive. At least that's what archeologists seem to think, but hey what do they know? :)yuekit

"Easyjet apologises for advertising southern Italian region's 'mafia activity and earthquakes'
'Get a taste of real Italy by bunking down in mafia land', the ad said. But Easyjet's bid to pitch Calabria backfired, and the company was forced to apologise on Tuesday.
Easyjet said the region famous for its coastline, rich history and culture, suffered from "the lack of iconic cities such as Rome and Venice capable of attracting the Instagram crowd"."
