Fascinating. 6000 years old and they found the actual boulder it was hewn from. Amazing stuff

Yep I have been listening in on this,(15 minutes just doesn't seem enough somehow I always want to know more) I would love to see some pictures but can't bear the thought of going onto a kids TV channel.  The description this morning was wonderful  how rich this world we live in, at times
