World renowned scientist, and off-the-wagon recovering alcoholic,
Dr. Frederick Diffendorfer, of the Archaeological Institute for the
Preservation of Pedantic Study, plans to publish a seminal paper this
summer on Stonehenge, shortly after his plagiarism trial.
CoverUps.com has learned in an exclusive interview, Diffendorfer
plans to reveal that Stonehenge, one of mankind's oldest and mysterious
monuments dating back 2,500 years ago, is nothing more than a public
works boondoggle which never quite did what it was designed to do:
keep track of the sun, moon and stars. In fact, it died on the vine
for a lack of Druidic funding.
"It suffered from a glaring Y0K problem," Diffendorpher said, "And
the Druids were embarrassed about it, so they kept it a secret. The
felt like the alien builders ripped them off."
Among Diffendorpher's surprising findings is the origin of the rocks
themselves. Long since a mystery, he believes the cumbersome rocks
were largely quarried in China. In fact, using a giant hydraulic jack,
Diffendorpher and a team of researchers lifted the "Heel Stone" to
reveal an archaic Druidic inscription, which linguists believe roughly
translates to the following phrase: Made In China.
Much like Y2K, Diffendorfer believes a serious error was made in
not planning for Y0K. After all, the prehistoric celestial Timex counted
backwards toward the year 0 A.D. Though state-of-the-art at the time,
it was not "savior compliant" as Diffendorpher put it. The Druids
knew this but refused to tell the world.
To be fair, Coverups pointed out to Diffendorpher that by implication
his paper imbues the Druids with a stunning prescience to know that
once their clock got down to zero, western civilizations would simply
start the count back up with the advent of a historic biblical figure.
That critical flaw aside, Diffendorpher believes he cracked some of
the rock's other mysteries such as how they paid for it and what it
was used for.
Funding for Stonehenge was accomplished through a progressive Druid
sin tax on spell castings and incantations. Furthermore, the whole
thing was purchased through Alien builders from the Alpha Centauri
system. Most Druids were not thrilled about Stonehenge as it was hard
to convey, much as it is today, a practical explanation for what they
referred to as their "large rock jalopy." In fact, Druids at the time
wondered why they simply did not "just go with a ziggurat or something."
The alien builders had a pretty good two-for-one deal going on those
big face statutes in Easter Island. Nonetheless, the Druidic officials
felt the Stonehenge thing was forecasted as a "multi-purpose" ancient
ruin and went with it despite budgetary misgivings. It was simply
a matter of "Keeping up with the Aztecs."
Diffendoprher believes later the Druids used Stonehenge as a prehistoric
coffee house, where younger, disaffected youths would meet and engage
in Druidic black magic and sipping of double-lattes. Years later,
evidence suggests it was a primitive casino, where Druids would assemble
for large gatherings of a game called Wizard Hold'em. Finally, it
was used as an early concert venue, where the hit song "Clock Around
the Rock" was first played in 845 A.D. Perhaps most surprising of
all his findings--the opening act that night: a band called the Rolling
Stones.
