Stonehenge was built between 3000 and 1500 B.C. It’s a series of massive standing stones that are arranged in circles and horseshoe formations. Some of the stones weigh as much as 30 tons!
New Theory Insight
It’s believed that Stonehenge originated in the Orcadian Basin of north-east Scotland. But there were never any proven facts of how it ended up in its final resting place.
Earlier this year, researchers from Curtin University ruled out any glacial help in the transport, citing that humans were 100% responsible for the big move. But, after building on their previous studies, researchers now think that glaciers did play a role, along with human aid.
Researchers say these latest findings show that Stonehenge must have meant a lot to people if they were willing to first save it from being submerged by rising sea levels and then to its final resting place. It also reveals a high level of organisation among Neolithic communities that many may never have realised.
What’s Next?
It’s not case closed on the Stonehenge mystery just yet. Future research will look into possible transport routes prehistoric communities may have used to move the stone. So, stay tuned!
