Built by giants

Long, long ago Merlin built Stonehenge using giants. Here is the clear photographic evidence. ‘The camera never lies.’

The famous Geoffrey of Monmouth was the first we know of to write about Merlin and Stonehenge. Merlin advised King Aurelius Ambrosius to collect magical stones from Mount Killaraus in Ireland, known as The Giants Ring, just south of Belfast. Our friend Geoffrey, says that Merlin used his own machinery to lift them out of the Irish ground and onto ships. Whence, he arranged them into Stonehenge as a great burial place for the Princes of Britain.

It was Robert Wace, who translated Geoffrey’s work into French, who embellished the story with giants, as in his illustration below. (See the page at the British Library.)
