103,000 #nhs workers in #england alone reject #covid19 vaccines (media portrays them as "unvaccinated" even though they took all the well-established vaccines), or a HIGHER propotions than the general population. This discredits the media-spread stigma about "ONLY DUMB PEOPLE" rejecting it... in the US, #trump became vaccine straw man.

New Interactive Tool Lets You Explore England's Hidden Archaeological Wonders From the Comfort of Home

For the last few decades, Historic England and its affiliates have been studying aerial photographs—and, in recent years, imagery from Lidar, Google Earth, and other digital sources, too—in order to catalogue historical sites across England. Now, they’ve compiled all that data into a single dazzling interactive map, free for anyone to explore online.

As Smithsonian reports, this Aerial Archaeological Mapping Explorer contains thousands of sites and covers an impressively broad swath of history, from about 6000 years ago right up through the Cold War. If little-known prehistoric hill forts are your thing, you’re in luck. There are some of those, as well as Iron Age farms, Bronze Age burial mounds, Industrial Age coal-mining sites, and much more.

Trethevy Quoit from the South The problem with this is that we don't know its complete history. Is that hole in the capstone an original feature? What we do know is that someone once used it to hold a flagpole.

Trethevy Quoit, Cornwall, England

Trethevy Quoit is a well-preserved Neolithic dolmen tomb, known locally as ‘The Giant’s House,’ located between St. Cleer and Darite in Cornwall, England. It was erected during the Neolithic period between 3700-3500 BC. Like other portal tombs of this type, Trethevy Quoit was originally covered by a mound. At the upper end of the cover slab is a natural hole, which may have been used for astronomical observation.
