Archaeologists carrying out the biggest excavation in years at Stonehenge say they have uncovered a layer which may hold the key to the mystery of why the megalith was built.
“Sure, why not?” said Professor Timmy Team, the dig leader. “Look at this hole we’ve found. It held bluestones. We think they were like Redstones – a stone-age form of ballistic missile. This would imply that Stonehenge was some kind of doomsday weapon, in which grunting Neanderthal druid people would threaten their peaceful comedy neighbours, the Flintstones, with huge stone missiles - which would hurtle through the air and land with a pretty devastating thud, several yards away. Or something. Prove it didn’t happen. You can’t! I’ve got a degree in stuff - so if I say that’s what happened, then that’s what happened, OK?
"Now let’s go over to Phil, who’s dressed up as a Roman soldier trying to drive a steam engine.”
