The wind probably kept knocking it down, so they had to make their hoax a bit more sturdy.
Couldn't this be settled by looking for the first written statements about Stonehenge? If we try to locate the first written acknowledgment of Stonehenge, then we can determine if it existed before 1950.
Nothing of Stonehenge in British literature as far as I know. Shakespeare never wrote about it.
I've been doing a little research and the earliest thing I can find so far is a reference to Stonehenge is in Henry of Huntingdon's Historium Anglorum , which was written in the mid 1100s. So it would appear Stonehenge has been around since at least this time.
Haven't found anything earlier.
It is possible that the tradition of setting up these rocks goes back to 1100s, point is that they are going to fall down when there is strong wind outside, that being why they got digged in and solidified the 50s. From what I remember you can also find similar stone structures (ruins) in Scotland, so to me it seems clear they been used in some religious ceremony by the Celtics, who worshiped stone.
Thanks for digging up some old references on it.
Look, I clicked your link and at first I was shocked. I tried to discuss this with my gf, telling her that this is truth. Later she discovered some photos and thanks to her, I can clearly see the stones in the 1800s, there is a webpage on the restoration, it makes sense for occult sects to use it and that's why there are pictures of the masonic fanatics there.
That's my story of how I believed something and just by some digging, my gf protected me from the lie. Believe what you want, but we must rely on facts alone. How can you explain the pictures from 1800?
Current Stonehenge was built in the 50s, but it is not the first time they built this hoax. The stone probably kept getting knocked over do to strong wind, so they had to be digged in, which is what they did in the 50s. If a hoax worked once, they will repeat it.
