Anyone see this?
They were going on about the power of images to project and maintain political power etc and they discussed Stonehenge.
They were talking about the Amesbury Archer burial discovery(http://www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/nwh_gfx_en/ART17753.html), which was the richest bronze age burial ever found, and presented it as more or less a certainty that he (the archer) was the person that Stonehenge was built for.

I just wondered if anyone here had an opinion on this? I thought it seemed a bit misleading and disingenuous to give the great British public an 'answer' as to 'why Stonehenge was built', when it is still clearly debatable.
