Feeling very inspired by my trip to Stonehenge yesterday. I’ve tried a few times to design a stone circles game but it’s never had the right gravitas.

@rorymuldoon in my neck of the woods there’s a replica stonehenge, created by an eccentric, Sam Hill ( of “where in Sam Hill?”-fame), as a WWI memorial.
He mistakenly associated human sacrifice with Stonehenge. For him WWI was human sacrifice.
I share because, well, it’s cool, but also because there’re some gravitas-laden ideas in there.

@GorgeCorps oh yes I’ve heard of this place! There’s a stone at Stonehenge called the slaughter stone. The victorians thought it was used for human sacrifice even though there’s no evidence to suggest it had ever been used that way. I guess that’s where the whole sacrificial monument thing comes from.
