Some geologists reject the idea that 4,500 years ago, humans brought Stonehenge's bluestones to England from Wales. Stonehenge isn't the only place where geology, archaeology and legend collide. Which debate do you find most interesting?

Stonehenge
The Black Sea "Noah's Flood" hypothesis
Santorini's eruption about 3,500 years ago may have ended the Minoan civilization - or may have happened much earlier
Yellowstone's "supervolcano" is about to erupt cataclysmically
What killed the neanderthals - climate change or human competition?
