It started with a pipe. It had been installed to water the site years before and usually did the job of keeping the grass green.

But back in 2010 a drought hit the area and the normal amount of water wasn't cutting it anymore

And this was Stonehenge we're talking about people have a certain expectation for how it's supposed to look

An open field of green dotted with tall imposing stone monuments arranged in the shape of the letter C. At least, that was the assumption.

But as the drought went on, the grass at the base of those stones turned brown,

and so did other patches, patches that seemed to complete the circle that the letter C had suggested.

So for the next four years, a whole series of scans were made of the landscape surrounding the ancient monument.

And guess what they discovered? Stonehenge was a much bigger site than we could

the surface as the old adage says appearances can be deceiving and in the case of Stonehenge, looking beneath the surface has led to new amazing discoveries.

And it's a rule of thumb that clearly fits more than just archaeology.

Our personal lives are deeper and more textured than a stranger might guess from just one short conversation.

The whole field of investigative journalism basically uses that same idea as a mission

statement digging deep into the unknown business of corporations and politicians.

Because sometimes what's on the surface isn't the whole story.

We see one thing, and it might be fact, but it's just one piece of a larger picture, and the

same is true of folklore but be warned because the act of

digging isn't without risk the deeper we go the darker things become. I'm Aaron Mankey and this is Lour. Johann was looking for a fresh start. Born in Germany in the 1790s, he spent his youth working as an apprentice to his father,

a brewer.

As a teenager, he even learned from others in the industry and then set out to make a name for himself and he failed.

So in 1836 he boarded a ship and headed to America leaving his wife and two sons behind until he was sure that he could support them.

Two years later he rolled into the Midwestern city of St. Louis and set up shop as a grocer.
