There are many tourist attractions in the world which bring awe to people. One of these special attractions is a well known “nature site” called the Stonehenge. This unknown landmark has been a mystery for years and years in Wiltshire England, but it seems now that excavators there have possibly figured out at least one of the mysteries.
How stones are set up like that, why the stones are set up like that, how the stones got there, why that exact spot? These are just a few of the many questions that are asked when questioning the Stonehenge. I have heard rumors of the Stonehenge being a large clock for the sun or even some type of ritual site. But up until now scientists and excavators have actual proof of where the stones actually came from.
Some of the smaller stones of the bunch have been chemically tested and match to two quarries on the northern slopes of the Preseli Hills. Supposedly the way those stones, also known as bluestones, were created was due to lava hardening and then cracking into long pillar shapes.
The mystery of the stone henge still remains, but this article does an amazing job answering some questions as to if this is a burial site or how the stones got to where they are now.
