A piece of rock with mysterious markings that lay largely unstudied for 4,000 years is now being hailed as a β€œtreasure map” for archaeologists, who are using it to hunt for ancient sites around north-western France.

The headlines need to be more truthful. It’s not the stupid people that read a headline, and then are disappointed in the actual story that doesn’t match what the headline said.

If the head line reads β€œAliens land in America!” And then it turned out to be about immigrants from Europe I’d be pretty upset even though the headline is technically true, everyone reading it is going to assume a totally different thing.
