Question: How does one perform a C-14 test on a non-organic structure?
Answer: they don't. Stonehenge's current age is only a guess based on
erosion patterns, which doesn't seem to take into account the fact that
it was most likely maintained for a very long time, and may have been
protected by other factors.

pave the way for the 6th), they got a bunch of elementalists to
slow down the "aging process" on stone henge, making it appear younger
than it really is. :)
