   @coolboymew Historians fear the fact that humans are just genetically programmed to like stacking rocks on other rocks

     @Dramamine @coolboymew Stonehenge is more like a massive calendar (rather than clock) sundial though.

     @lanodan @coolboymew yes, but people only care about it now because stacking big rocks on other rocks is objectively cool

     @Dramamine @coolboymew You're describing a cairn, which isn't a henge at all!
     
     A cairn is usually for memorial or acknowledgement, most frequently of a land spirit or a dead human. A henge is aligned astrologically, it serves a function in marking the passage of time!
