Now that we know why there was a pic of Robert the Bruce associated with the article , we can get back to the real story .
The stones and sub plot .

Even if they did , as explained ,it would be dull ,it is also difficult to get a decent pic of both stones given their distance, apart trees and and shrubs in the way and one being a metre high .

At least all he is doing this time is attempting to SELL an app and not highlighting the points of a new paper, thus avoiding the nonsense of his earlier paper "Songs of the Stones " .
Pity that the basis for the app is not Stonehenge itself , which is incomplete and may never have been complete , but Maryhill (Washington USA ) a concrete monument based on an imaginary "

Of course it's a stupid argument that you have got yourself into KK .
Another example of knee jerk reaction without little or no thought having gone into the initial comment ,and a complete ignorance of the subject .

No , the archaeologists fantasy is the funniest bit followed by his error in getting the period between standstill wrong.
The pic of the statue makes perfect sense ,it's of Robert the Bruce , leader of the victorious Scots at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 . The stones were erected as markers/memorials of a part of that important victory .

As mentioned earlier , the expeditions to "New Swabia " had nothing to do with the usual hilarity associated with the Ahnenerbe but were merely practical .
Your original mention was of "pre WW11 " , THE 1947 expedition was no more mysterious although the alt crowd have had fun with it .
Scroll down to the bottom for the fantasy .

Of course it doesn't chanege the fact that he made multiple comments that are obviously racist .
"And yet in spite of all of this........ slavery was banned, "
So what ? Slavery had been banned elsewhere before Lincoln was born or made his racist comments .
People had spoken out and acted against slavery long before Lincoln had made his racist comments .

Which has absolutely nothing to do with Lincoln's racist comments .
