(Quotes: “Bobbie Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones and the other boys soon followed his example selecting the smoothest and roundest stones.” [pg147] “The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready. Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, she held her hands up desperately as the villagers moved in on her, ‘It isn’t fair,’ she said. A stone hit her on the side of the

Joseph Davidovits has proved that with the right materials available, it is possible to chemically cast stone. While Davidovits proves his theory with sufficient evidence, many problems are brought up. One problem that faces Davidovits is the fact that there are spaces between each of the stone blocks. If the putty were poured against the other blocks, there would be no spaces at all. Researches have also found tool marks on the blocks, and this fact does not cohere

Nearly every writer has had new theories about the Stonehenge. Over the years, secrets have been discovered. Archaeologist digs have discovered a lot about Stonehenge. But, we can only guess at how these configurations were used. We can only wonder as to the ceremonies performed around the great stones. Besides, we can only hypothesize as to why Stonehenge was ever constructed. The stones stand over the Salisbury Plane. They stand and have stood for thousands of years. Scientist may never know all the answers to the questions about Stonehenge. Until researches can outlook the footsteps of the people of Stonehenge, we will never answer all of the questions and mysteries surrounding it. Still, the great silent stones dare us to unravel its

The symbolism behind the stones is clear; they are not only murder weapons, but the first tools ever made by men were made of stone, which denote the savage and violent customs of ancestors.

After Ranofer had answered the question right Queen Tiy got really angry and sad. She told the guards to rush over to the tomb and find the thieves.

The reading passage focuses on some carved stone balls, which have been dated to 4000 years ago. The materials presented by the author provide three possible functions of these balls. On the other hand, the lecturer finds all the ideas dubious and presents some evidence to refute them all.

The one current challenge of Rapa Nui I feel that most serious is deteriorating. In article “Giant Stone Heads in Trouble” it states “this is made by tourism, because the tourist may sit, stand or jump on them. This leads to the rock breaking down, causing erosion of the older rocks. In the story Giant Stone Heads In Trouble the author states that "More tourism, more deterioration. More visitors, more loss," said archaeologist Susana Nahoe.” Though people still treat them like toys. In article “Twenty-first Century Challenge” the author “ tourist have broken moai. The moai is gradually being destroyed by people. The destruction started with people of the

No place has generated so much speculation and wild theories as the standing stones of Stonehenge.

The “who’s,” “how’s,” and “why’s” behind this majestic monument are based on many (usually conflicting) myths, guesstimates, and theories. As a result, we have no definite answers for the probing questions about Stonehenge’s existence. However, each theory grants the Neolithic monument its character and mystique, as well as society’s best guesses as to its true origin and purpose. Therefore, I shall proceed to discuss both the fantastical and probable theories behind the mystery of Stonehenge.

The first theory is that the Stonehenge is a place for burial. This theory is supported by the fact that human remains were found, buried in the site. Pappas (2013) states that in early 2013 British researchers dug up 50,000 cremated bone fragments from the site, representing 63 separate people. A BBC 4 documentary (as cited by Pappas, 2013) observes that the people who were buried were an equal number of women and men with a few children as well. This means that the people who were buried where families. So Stonehenge could have been a cemetery for the elite. According to The Guardian newspaper (as cited by Pappas, 2013) archaeologists also found a mace head and a bowl that could have been used to burn incense. This evidence suggests that
