We've had this discussion before and we decided the illustration was a forgery.
Or did you mean something else, Digit?

I never decided that Stan. I'm just waiting to see what happens. That decision could have been a bit premature.stan wrote:We've had this discussion before and we decided the illustration was a forgery.

Can't answer that question Stan, it must have been before my time.

Digit, I posted the first article about it in the "Stonehenge" thread. Folks seemed to think it was a forgery (?). Thanks for this article and keep your eyes out for more news on it please. Thanks.

It seems that this is the real thing after all. Methinks the gun was jumped on this one. From Archaologica News.Stonehenge has been in the news twice recently. Both a new view and a new interpretation of the monument have been announced.
The new view is a tiny medieval drawing, only a couple of inches across, noticed in a scala mundi or “world ladder”, a chart of universal chronology from the Creation onwards. The document was in the municipal library of Douai, in northern France, probably taken there from England by Catholic refugees in the 16th century; Professor Christian Heck catalogued it there six years ago without at that stage thinking more about its importance.

Yeah Charlie. This is now the third article I've seen on it - all from different news sources.
'Tis the real thing.

Was lined paper available at that point in history?Yeah Charlie. This is now the third article I've seen on it - all from different news sources.

Do you happen to have an image? I just remember the paper on which the sketch was drawn looking modern.
I don't know a whole lot about the details of historical stuff.
