ARCHAEOLOGY: Lessons of Durrington Walls

"To the astonishment of archaeologists, the largest ‘prehistoric’ structure ever found in Britain has recently been unearthed—just under two miles north-east of Stonehenge, the UK’s iconic Neolithic site on Salisbury Plain, near Amesbury, Wiltshire.

The newly discovered site is a huge circle, 1.2 miles in diameter, consisting of twenty shafts which are five metres deep 16 ft. and up to 65 ft. in diameter. This construction encircles an existing structure called the Durrington Walls, the site of a large settlement and later wooden henge circle, described as ‘Neolithic’ (from the so-called ‘Stone Age’).

Archaeologists leading the investigations are stunned at ‘early man’s’ abilities. For instance, geoscientist Richard Bates, of St Andrews University, said the new Durrington circle discovery offered “an insight to the past that shows an even more complex society than we could ever imagine.”
Regarding the construction of the pit circle, Professor Gaffney stated: “I can’t emphasize enough the effort that would have gone
in to digging such large shafts with tools of stone, wood and bone.”

But researchers shouldn’t be so surprised, considering Stonehenge was made by the same people who transported ‘bluestones’ (weighing up to five tons) 150 miles to Salisbury Plain from south-west Wales. Ancient man likely had technology and ingenious means to achieve such great feats, which we have so far failed to uncover.

Genesis 1:26–27 tells us that humans were made in God’s Image from the beginning, so faculties such as mathematics and the ability to plan and make complex constructions would have been fully formed in the first couple.
Within the first few generations, Genesis 4 makes it clear that humans were able to farm (v. 2, 20), build cities (v. 17), make complex musical instruments (v. 21), and work with iron and bronze (v. 22)."

Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
