I appreciate you taking a chance on it; both do refer to the same timescale and since that's a timescale founded in Christianity it's up to individual preference I suppose. Where BCE and CE differs from BC and AD is instead of translating to "Before Christ" and "Anno Domini", it simply means "Before Common/Current Era" and "Common/Current Era" which makes it translate as more religiously neutral when engaging with people online who don't know nor need to know a narrator's personal beliefs even if the use of the traditional BC and AD is perfectly fine and doesn't necessarily imply that either.

Welcome to the stones.
Some old stones

Reckon playing football with a bowling ball would be fitting within Stonehenge
Stonehenge has always been a fascinating historical landmark to me so it was nice learning some new things about it. Great video guys!
Cheers!
A good content to start this morning!
Amazing
We went there several times as when i was a chikd. Fascinating place.
Can confirm you pronounced 'Preseli' perfectly :D

That is how I choose to view it.
In ancient times,
Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
Lived a strange race of people, the Druids
No one knows who they were or what they were doing
But their legacy remains
Hewn into the living rock, of Stonehenge
Would love to trek across the pond and have a look at some stone. Ikind of hope we never learn how they were assembled. It's part of the charm.
I think you misspelled ‘Spongehenge’. Jk. Great video, I really love the deeper dives into the more niche historical sites.

Thank you, aliens.
That’s the spirit

Sorry, but I gave up when you used BCE.
What's wrong with BCE?

Indeed, thanks for taking the time for your detailed reply. It was a very well produced video.
Thank you for taking the time to watch it! We massively appreciate it!
