"Dodgy non-scientific wishes"

Jones calls it the Stonehenge Myth, which just happens to make a good story, he says the transportation of the bluestones requires a great deal of imagination - stirring tales of primitive men hauling massive bluestones on sledges from Milford to the Bristol channel (has anyone seen the tidal reach up the estuary) to the Avon Valley on the assumption that a) Preseli area was a sanctified area, b) that they desired/sanctified the stone type which was used for stone axes. Lot of non-rational thought there then.... what we all need is the Tardis to see what really happened..
