Cattle Cult that Predates Stonehenge Built Monuments in Saudi Arabia - Mysterious Universe

New information on a peculiar type of Saudi Arabian monument that's more numerous than expected has Paul Seaburn's attention. As has often been a fallback explanation in the past, "ritual purposes" is invoked. However, the wider implications of the "new study" are significant, as this appears to be "one of the earliest, large-scale monumental building traditions known to date.� Paul also informs us that the Famously Well-Endowed Cerne Abbas Giant Finally Gets a Date. Paul has fun with this one, too, while relating some rather unexpected archaeological news that might explain just who the figure might represent. And Mindy Weisberger relates a somewhat similar surprise as a Misplaced Viking Noble's Bones Vanished Decades Ago, Finally Found in Museum Collection. These archaeological "rediscoveries" happen upon occasion, in this case because an archaeologist noticed their late owner was buried with a pair of "fancy pants!" And there's a row in Biblical studies lately as of King Solomon's Mines in Spain? Not Likely, Experts Say. Owen Jarus details Sean Kingsley's evidence and the counterclaims from several scholars.
