Older than the Pyramids

This is Rudston Monolith in the Churchyard of " All Saints" Church in the village of Rudson.
Here is the story of the Stone Rudston Monolith
And the Church Rudston Church
The monolith is the tallest standing stone in Britain and amazing though it seems that the church was built around 1100 AD, and the Monolith is at least 3,000 years older than that.
Sir William Strickland found "the dimensions of the monolith within ground as large as those without".Strickland found many skulls during his dig and suggested they might have been sacrificial.
Thomas Waller states that in 1861 during levelling of the churchyard the surface of the ground near the monolith was raised 5 feet (1.5 m).
The Church was built to dominate the older religion connected to the stone, but never fully succeeded, as after every harvest corn dollies are found around the base of the stone.
