Snails show chalk hill figure 'not prehistoric'

The, in which soil was taken from the giant's elbows and feet, was carried out to celebrate its 100-year ownership of the site.

However, microscopic species, found for the first time in the medieval period during the 13th and 14th Centuries, have been discovered in the samples. "Sadly, this shows the giant is unlikely to be prehistoric or Roman, and more likely dates to medieval times or later."The earliest recorded mention of the Cerne Abbas Giant, which was gifted to the National Trust in 1920 by the Pitt-Rivers family, was in 1694.Early antiquarians linked the giant with the Anglo-Saxon deity Helis, others have said he is the classical hero Hercules, while some believe he was carved during the English Civil War as a parody of Oliver Cromwell.

Over the last few weeks, I've been told multiple times that 'you can't change history', so it'll have to remain prehistoric. That's how it works apparently.

this isnt new news. There is a sign in the car park telling you when it was probably made. You really don't have enough news do you?

Besides he must’ve been racist for sure. Erase him. Go on.

My grandad did that with his mates in 1920. Just saying. My grandma told me. She whispered in her last days... Ive seen your grandad naked laddie. It's him.

Surprised the BBC haven't mentioned it is white, and not representing the black community.

There's a story here about a guy having a sexy dream when he gets woken up by a noise and comes running out of his cave but it is just the other cave dwellers having a party for Doreen's birthday and they all see him and start laughing and he becomes the butt of jokes for eons.
