The Somewhat Ambitious

If you’re a kid, thank the gods that you didn’t grow up when Stonehenge was alive and kicking. Archaeologists from the University of Bristol have found the worlds “oldest child’s toy” near Stonehenge, and whilst experts can’t agree on whether it looks more like a pig or a hedgehog, one look at the above picture closes the door on this little mystery.

It’s a fucking ROCK.

Archeologist Joshua Pollard made the following comment:

“…In fact, it’s very rare to find any kind of representational art in British prehistory—almost to the extent where you get the impression there’s a bit of a taboo on making images of animals or people.”

Yeah, Josh, there obviously WAS a taboo, because they decided to not offend anyone and make a rock action figure. Is anyone thinking this is a real shitty trick to pull on children? A toy rock? No wonder the pagans got wiped out. Those motherfuckers were practically Dickensian.
