A HISTORICAL LIE:                        THE STONE AGE




                                         Stonehenge
                     Stonehenge, a monument that stands in England, consists of
                some 30 large stone blocks arranged in a circle. Each of these blocks
                is an average of 4.5 meters (15 feet) high and weighs an average of 25
                tons. The monument has attracted the attention of a great many re-
                searchers, and many theories have been proposed as to how and
                why it was erected. What matters here is not which (if any) of these
                theories is actually correct, but that this monument yet again invali-
                dates the theory of "evolution" in the history of mankind.
                     Research reveals that Stonehenge was built in three main
                stages, beginning in about
                2,800 BCE. In other words, the
                history of its construction
                goes back some 5,000 years.
                The initial stage of building
                included the digging of a
                ditch, bank and some round
                pits in the chalk. In the second
                stage, some 80 bluestones
                were set up in two rings
                around the center of the site
                and a heel stone was erected
                outside this. Later, an outer
                circle of giant sarsen stones
                was formed, with  a continu-
                ous run of lintels.
                     One of the most note-
                worthy aspects of this monu-
                ment is the bluestones used in
