Bruce Bedlam - the Stonehenge building - alternative posthole concept
this has to be the campest theory Free Planet's ever featured, and it involves the pyramidic BUILDING (Yes, the PYRAMIDIC building, with built-in light-splitting disco crystal) at Stonehenge monument near Salisbury in Wiltshire, England. The brainchild of Stonehenge theorist Bruce Bedlam, it's just the craziest winter-cabin type architectural solution you'll have ever come across that puts into context all the anomalous post-holage and circularity found at the site.
And I love it.

I say pyramidic, but technically it's conical. And I found this concept looking for computer animations of Stonhenge over time, you know to track the evolution of the site from ring ditch to stone temple. I wanted to see the ancient ring of Aubrey Holes, that series of 56 chalk pits that used to contain the bluestones now resident within the stone monument, that pre-date the henge of standing stones we know today.
I got distracted, I just couldn't help myself. I want to believe there was a swedish disco log cabin at the center of the ancient landscape of Wiltshire where seasonal festivities could take place. That mega-crystal disco-ball built into the summit of the conical roof, gorgeous idea but I'm concerned about all-weather sealant. Would they have had amplifiers, too, for drumming up the crowd? Was the temple roof whitewashed or waxed in some way to protect the wood from the rotting Wiltshire drizzle?
