Re: Why is it that every TV special on Stonehenge mentions Druids?

As ever, the media will not allow the facts to get in the way of a good
story... and, at the end of the day, what harm does it do? Many people
choose to be ignorant and don't really care too much for facts. Those who
*do* care will take the time to find out the facts and will know the whole
Druid thing is a red herring.

I read years ago that Stonehenge was far older than the Druid
religion, and that the ancient Phoenecians had referred to Stonehenge as
"The winged temple of the people of the Western isles". The Phoenecians!
Then I read that it was an astronomical calendar. If that's true,
why are there dorks running around saying that "...we really don't know
what purpose it served...", etc? And why do they even bother mentioning
the Druids if it's been proven to be thousands of years older than the
"Oak knowers"?
