The shocking answer about the birth of the 4,500-year-old Stonehenge megalithic work

4,500 years ago, prehistoric people built a mysterious Stonehenge megalithic circle in what is present-day Wiltshire, England. Scientists have taken centuries to find out the meaning and purpose of this strange stone formation.

According to Sci-News, in a new scientific paper, a team led by Professor Timothy Darvill from Bournemouth University analyzed Stonehenge and found that it was an aligned "stone age computer". precisely according to the 8 extreme positions of the Sun and Moon, for the purpose of calculating time.

The work also helps to realize the perpetual calendar, which completely coincides with the time of a calendar year today which is 365.25 days.

Throughout the structure, several blocks of silicified sandstone known as sarsen were carefully added and these serve as markers for the calculation of the perpetual calendar.

"Each of the 30 stones in the sarsen circle represents a day in a month, divided into 3 weeks, 10 days each week. The distinct stones in the circle mark the beginning of each week. In addition, there is a "inter-year month" consisting of 5 days and 1 leap day every 4 years. Interannual months are considered days of the gods "- Professor Darvill analyzed.

Summary of how the arithmetic of sarsenic elements at Stonehenge was combined to create a perpetual calendar

Thus, Stonehenge was built as a common calendar to help ancient residents in the area keep track of the day, week, month and predict the eclipses.

This also shows that the solar calendar was introduced to this land following one of two cultures with an earlier calendar, the Eastern Mediterranean (with a solar calendar around 3000 BC) or Egypt (dating from 2700). B.C). Stonehenge was built in the 2500s BC.

Previously, the scientific community had found many vestiges of ritual activities in the area and put forward many different theories, the most common being the place of ritual practice.
