So much for Stonehenge.

A new paper suggests the famous British pile of stones wasn’t a prehistoric calendar after all, just a memorial to the dead.

The study, published in the journal Antiquity disputes claims made earlier that the stones are arranged to function as a 356-day calendar. As we all know, it takes Earth 365 days to orbit the Sun, so this new study says, nope, can’t be a calendar. Wouldn’t work.
