- Reliable: Is the source trustworthy or not
- Biased: Always leaning towards one side of an idea and ignoring the other side(s)
- Background Historical Knowledge: Knowledge about an event prior to learning something new
- Inference: Educated guess based on hard evidence
- Sources that Conflict: Two or more sources that say different things about a topic
This cartoon is not reliable because it is not intended to be a historic record; instead, it is supposed to be purely for humour. Also, this comic was made in 2012, but construction for Stonehenge started in 2,600 B.C. It is biased against archaeologists. This comic is wrong because people still do not know what the purpose for Stonehenge was. I think the author is trying to say that some historical artifacts should be left alone. There are many sources that conflict this cartoon. While stone structures have been found underground nearby Stonehenge, they do not resemble the shapes of specific letters.
