Are they simply telling people what they want to hear, or are they genuinly dictating that the builders of stonehenge are not "important discoveries"?
I will leave that up to you to decide.
I find it disturbing that the MoJ is giving the religious views of groups whose beliefs would not have been the same as the people whose remains are in dispute the right to decide what happens. It would be similar to a group of Catholic Copts deciding what to do with remains of pre-Christian Egyptian mummies. Right area, wrong religion.
