New theory about the formation of Stonehenge

With new archaeological findings in the area around Stonehenge, scientists are approaching the answer to the great question of the formation of this great stone work .

For decades, people have always wondered about the massive stone architecture built about 5,000 years ago, on a peaceful field in the countryside of Wiltshire in England. No one knows why the ancient people built Stonehenge: some believe it is the solar calendar, or the place to worship the old days. Others think that Stonehenge is a symbol of unity. Some even argue that the construction of Stonehenge was inspired by an illusion of sound.

This great building consists of giant megalithic blocks, 9 meters tall and weighs up to 25 tons, is believed to be taken from a quarry near the Marlborough Downs, 32km from Stonehenge; while the blue rocks weigh 4 tons, can be transferred from Preseli Hills, Wales, 250km from Stonehenge.

David Jacques, who led the research team at the British Open University, examined the photos stored on the area surrounding Stonehenge and discovered an area called Vespasian's Camp in the town of Amesbury, only 1, 6km from Stonehenge. Later, David began an investigation in the area, and found that animals often stopped to drink water in the small streams here. Since then David has stated that perhaps the ancients may have settled recently.

A sample of European bison was discovered

David's team discovered 350 samples of animal bones, including many of the extinct giant European bison bones, its 12,500 ignition devices and fragments, as well as a lot of evidence. burn marks here. Among the stone tools found there are some that bear the typical shape and pattern of many other regions. (For example, the tool is made of stone in Wales or Cornwall but has a typical Sussex pattern). In addition, a few giant pine columns erected here are said to pay homage to the sacred hunting grounds.

All of these discoveries prove that mankind, possibly a hunter, lived and settled in this area from 7500 BC to 4700 BC, and it was not until 5,000 years later that the rocks The first of Stonehenge appeared, and this place may have been a place to celebrate ancient times, attracting people from different cultural regions to this area.

It seems that the terrain of Stonehenge has been attractive for a long time before Stonehenge was created, and with these new discoveries, researchers hope to come to a conclusion as to why the ancient people chose the region. This is to build Stonehenge and it is built for what purpose .
