COMMANDER TANK'S LEGEND OF STONEHENGE MAGIC TIME PORTAL ADVENTURE

That it could have been an astronomical observatory? Possibly built
under the instructions of astronomer-priests, who used it to chart the
movements of the celestial bodies and draw up a calendar for planting,
harvesting and breeding cattle?

Then at a peace conference, and as a result of Saxon
trickery 460 British nobles were massacred.

Just to give you a little family background...Ambrosius Aurelianus, was
brother to Uther Pendragon (Arthur's magical father) and ruled with my
help. One day, the King came to Salisbury where the Earls and Princes lay
buried, the ones Hengist had betrayed. The King was brought to tears. He
wondered how he could make the place memorable. Well, naturally I had
to say something..... Of course, couldn't keep quiet, could you? Don't be a
wise guy! So this is what I suggested....

"If thou be fain to grace the burial-place of these men with a work that
shall endure forever, send for the Dance of the Giants that is in Killaraus,
a mountain in Ireland. For a structure of stones is there that none of this
age could raise save his wit were strong enough to carry his art. For the
stones be big, nor is there stone anywhere of more virtue, and, so they be
set up round this plot in a circle, even as they be now there set up, here
shall they stand for ever."

You see, Aurelius was entranced by the thought of an eternally persisting,
eternally powerful construction, so he commanded Uther Pendragon,
fifteen thousand men and myself to set sail immediately for Ireland.

Now, Vortigern, Earl of the "Gewissi", in the time of King Constantine, was
planning to steal the crown from Constantine's son, Constans. So when
Constans was made King, Vortigern bribed some men to burst into
Constans' sleeping chamber and cut off his head.

Well........as least he wouldn't have to worry about geting a new crown every
year! (snicker...snicker) Oh good grief! A Time Traveller who can't tell jokes!
As I was saying.........

Good grief...... Where's Commander Baby Girl, she would know what I said.
Believe me, you wouldn't want Baby here. I heard that! And thank you,
Merlin. She's everywhere...... scary.What I said was, if he wanted to create
a work that would last for eternity...he'd better get those big stones from
Ireland.

So what happened?
What happened? Do you see stones here?
Well....they are kind of hard to miss, aren't they?

So....all those guys moved the rocks, brought them back to England and
that was that! Right? WRONG! WHAT?

Not only was Stonehenge a memorial to the massacred nobles, but also
the gravesite of Aurelius and his soldiers, King Arthur's father, Uther
Pendragon, and Arthur's cousin and successor to the throne, Constantine.
Unfortunately, my dear Arthur was to find no peace or resting place.

Legend?
Well, if that's what you want to call it.
Remember, that inside a legend lie many truths......
you only have to search and you will find......

What these mortals didn't realise was that
these weren't just mere rocks! They harboured
ancient powers, the ability to cure ailing bodies, the ability to do justice to the
dead, and the ability to memorialise that which would otherwise be forgotten.

Merlin, you've certainly put a different twist to the legend of Stonehenge.
Mind if I stay awhile to sort of learn what other secrets lie behind these
stones?

Nope.....but remember these secrets are for your big ears only....
Earthlings need a little more time to mature.

Well, Time Travellers.....I'm going to say awhile with
Merlin. You better ride off with the magic knight and see
what the others are doing. When you see them tell them
I'm going to spend a little time here at Stonehenge.

The Irish King, Gillomanius, couldn't believe that anyone would sail to his
island to swipe big rocks! So, he declared that only over his dead body
would the "smallest fragment of the Ring" be stolen. Of course, we were
only to happy to make his wish come true and wiped out the Irish forces.

I really had to laugh. They tried
everything....but could they budge them?
I think not! So using my great mental and
magical powers, I easily dismanteled the
Ring, put them on the ships and with my
great precison rebuilt the Ring just as it
had been in Ireland. Which only goes to
show you the mind is stronger than brute
strength! No modesty there!
