Looks like a bunch of Welsh farmers, calling themselves the Baaa Studs, have been learning Flash
I'm sure something very similar was done thousands of years ago in this country with those giant figures carved into hillsides.
The obvious explanation is that these figures were territory markers, but as there is (or was?) one on the South Downs only a few miles from the sea that doesn't make so much sense, in that there's hardly any land beyond it.
So a more likely possibility is that the figures were used for son et lumiere displays at night, with people trooping around the markings and holding torches. Being on a hillside they would look to a distant audience like moving stars, and on a dark night would almost merge into the real stars. So maybe they acted out myths relating to the constellations.
