Well, I didn't go through the links, but if you go by the Bible/church history, NOBODY knows where Moses is buried (God buried him), and NOBODY knows where the Ark of the Covenant is. I can't say for sure about the rest of the stuff.

I couldn't find that information in the links anyway, Beaks. Although I only followed a few.

all i know is that it would be very difficult to chain yourself to stonehenge... as they don't allow anyone that close anymore... *sigh* I was out there back in '93 and it's all chained off and inside a nice big fence... they'll let you in the fence, but not past the barrier... too many idiots in the past defacing it.. *sigh* was a huge let down not to be able to walk amongst the stones or even touch them... ah well....

Well if you think about it, the point of a lot of things was that we didn't know, before people found the answers. Now, whether people should be trying to uncover all the secrets of the world is a different question.
:wink: Still, the idea is kind of interesting.

That's what I thought too. He joined in '04 but his only post from then was also about Stonehenge. :/ I think we may have a fake account or a spammer on our hands.

So what do we do next?
