Tape-script Jean
Look, Tony. How could prehistoric men carry those huge stones from very distant places?
Tony I don’t think that such a huge stones were moved by people from earth. It’s
impossible. I think they were moved by beings from outer space with the help of their spaceships.
Steve What do you mean? Stonehenge was built by aliens?
Tony Yeah. I believe there were aliens on earth thousand years ago. There are too many
signs on earth, like Stonehenge, that suggests that aliens were here before. Steve
Rubbish. I don’t think that Stonehenge is really as old as many people think it is. How can we be sure it was built 5000 years ago. Maybe it was built later, when the
wheel had already been invented. Do you agree with me, Kate?
Kate No, Steve. I don’t think so. I believe that the people who built Stonehenge had some
form of magical ability. There is no possible way that any number of people could lift stones so immense in size, or move them that great distance without the aid of
machines. What do you think, Nancy?
Nancy You know what? I think that Stonehenge was built by prehistoric men by breaking a
huge rock that had once sat there into smaller pieces. It might have taken a while, but it does make sense. I mean, have you ever heard of a human who can move such
huge things without the aid of technology? I haven’t. They probably had trouble aligning all those pieces with the moon and the sun. but breaking a big rock into
pieces was much easier and much more exact.
Jean Yeah. That seems quite logical, Nancy. But who knows? I don’t think the mystery of
Stonehenge will ever be solved.
