Revealing 'heavenly' about Stonehenge observatory

Finally, the mystery of Stonehenge's ancient astronomical stone station in the south of England has been solved.

A group of archaeologists believe that the megalithic stone works dating back more than 5000 years in England, Stonehenge, can be erected for worshiping the Sun.

Using geophysical imaging technology and aerial radar observation, the team of scientists at the University of Birmingham, the Center for Space Technology, Archaeological Institute Ludwig Boltzmann and the Institute of Archeology in Vienna, discovered 2 large holes in the stone fence position of Stonehenge.

These two pits are 16 feet (more than 4 meters) wide, 3 feet deep, located north of Stonehenge, built in front of the prehistoric monument to 500 years.

Two large holes piercing from east to west at the cliff Stonhenge is the place to worship the sun god.

'This is the first time to discover this. As seen from the mysterious Stone Heel standing just outside the entrance to Stonehenge, the pits are like signs of welcoming the sunrise in the summer noon, 'said Vince Gaffney, an archaeologist from Birmingham University. Head of research project said.

According to archaeologists, the pits may contain high-rise stone, wooden columns or even burnt to mark the rising sun. Researchers are more likely to speculate, it is used in ceremonies to celebrate the Sun's movement on summer solstice.

'It is possible that the ritual in the Cursus barrier follows the Sun's path that moves from the eastern pit at dawn to the western pit at sunset, marking the longest day of the year,' said Gaffney.

This hypothesis is more convincing when researchers measure the distance between these two holes. They discovered that the ritual would end exactly from the east to the west at noon, when the sun reached the top of Stonehenge.

The pits that appear in the Cursus barrier show that, in the Stonehenge area, is a complex complex with many functions in England during the Neolithic and Bronze Age. It carries sacred meanings before building mysterious stone circles.

Previously, this work was explained by many theories. Some people believe that it serves war, or is the work created by giants, even works of aliens.

The scientists in the study believe that the structures of Stonehenge are like small temples, which can be the center of community service. The team continues to hope to discover many mysterious new things about this project while continuing to implement the project.
