Yeah, that is better.
I think link #2 is even better:
http://www.anima.demon.co.uk/stones/stonehen/history.html
but these aren't exactly deep; these are more like the Travel
Brochures you see in hotel lobbies. None of the other links are very
good at all.
And having to type in "stonehenge history" is the kind of beef I had
with old-school search engines like Hotbot or Altavista: you have to be
*so* specific or you get crap. Compare these results with typing in
just "stonehenge" in the subject category of a decent university
library. I want my results pages to look like that.
EORant :-)
