Interesting theory of Dr Lynne Kelly is that henges may have been memory palaces that encoded stories and tradition and natural knowledge. People gathered there and passed along knowledge verbally, using natural and man made features to aid the memory since they had no writing at the time.

16 mins in a question comes up, what the water level would have been back then. If Scotland was overgrown by forests that got harvested to fire steam engines, then all those woods would have held significant rainfall and the water table would have been much lower. Another question is about precious objects that seem to have been imported - there must have been some economically value in the region to enable buying the expensive objects that came from very far away and must have been transported via several middle men, each time doubling their price.

(c) In homo sapiens' evolution and migrations we see prolonged episodes of them living in coastal areas that provide relatively easy access to abundant protein sources.

@@emilychb6621 - I used the word "value" not capitalism. Profits got made already thousands of years ago, even if there was no money, but barter alone. Amber was used as amulet, e.g. in Egypt. One pharao felt he paid too much, sent his son to figure out where the source of the trade was, in order to bypass the middle men. That prince traveled to Crete, Balkan, Alps, Switzerland, Germany to the Estonia-Lithuania region. The word for Amber in other Germanic languages than English is a form of "burn stone" (as it will burn). The Swiss capital Bern, now with bears in their coat of arms may actually have been a transfer market. Middle men kept their trade routes secret in order to protect their livelihood. Walking to bring amber from Lithuania to sell in Bern, traveling dangerous forests, marshlands, surviving climate had a price. I imagine that the "sea peoples" that raided around the Mediterranean started to do so after the big volcanic eruptions (Santorini) wiped out Crete as middle man and they could not "sell" (barter trade) their products for return goods their peoples had become dependent on. This is well before 3,000 years ago (from today). As soon as cultures and civilizations (this implies existence of a civic/city culture) spawned labor division, barter became everyday life. And with barter come both value and profit - generally at the expense of the weak, vulnerable and naive.

The wood post got me thinking about something. I found a piece of petrified wood that seems to have been a pruned branch at one point. The reason why I noticed it was because I was pruning some bramble (nut trees) encroaching my yard and when I raked the bits and pieces up one of them was heavy and didn't rake well. It honestly looked very much like the bits I had just created except it was old, old enough to be petrified. This is a bit of a curiosity to me to think that many moons ago there was someone in that very spot doing the same thing I was. This is all a fantastic thought until the idea that the forces that would have petrified that limb would also have drastically change the landscape. Surely the same type of vegetation didn't remain there all those years or even come back... I mean what kind of time and forces would have petrified a small limb in the open air that wouldn't have just rotted it??? That said I have found areas where saw dust from modern saws was petrified. What would cause such a thing, or am I somehow mistaken. Any of you scientists know???

Thank you

They are very rare. There is another Crannog, called Mehigan's Island...Lough Allua, near Ballingeary and Inchigheela County Cork, Ireland; the only one. An O'Leary Cheiftian is to have been buried within... ...it is very and beautiful there...see pic's...!

The crenock/island in the lake also lines up with the notch and sun.. maybe an extension of the henge.

Or maybe even a worker/group of workers and/or priests that lived or operated out of the area to build and eventually serve out of the area near by and then in the temple itself or whatever before it all flooded? Or is the small circle before you begin digging it up just obvious as to what it probably was just BECAUSE of the proximity to the now flooded temple?

Consider the hull shapes of the earliest exploration Armadas, broad round flat, huge, built upside down, flipped, the back end finished off & then pushed downhill into the bay for final rigging & outfitting. Horsepower. And that's the way they did it.

When they talked about the horde find why did they talk to people like It was found in their yard when the woman say it was blasted out of a quarry up the hill about 2 miles away sorta misleading

Well they did say their property rather than their yard. Apparently their property is somewhat vast.
