Discovered secret hidden in Stonehenge

Stonehenge .Megalithic monument in which myth and legend have always been inscribed.Few places contain as much mystery around its huge stone blocks as this circular construction located north of Salisbury, in England.Is it a funerary temple? Or maybe a sophisticated astronomical observatory? The curiosity that ignites this spectacular place fills us with dozens of doubts based on theories not yet fully demonstrated, hence a group of British scientists have conducted a thorough study over four years, in collaboration with the Institute Ludwig Boltzmann archeologist from Vienna .Would you like to know what conclusions you have reached?

Stonehenge, a ceremonial monument

When you are lucky enough to see this person in the first person fantastic construction of the Neolithic , has the sensation of being immensely small.And even more, it falls before those minds of our ancestors, capable of devising a monument that even today escapes our knowledge.Have we lost perhaps Modern men that union with nature and with the stars? Do we lack magic and mysticism? It is possible.

Stonehenge is a monument formed by four concentric circumferences where huge blocks of stone are distributed, a set that has more or less 104 meters in diameter .perched on a slope and a moat, like many other testimonies of this era distributed to the south of England.Although this one, it is really special….

A few years ago and thanks to the Stonehenge project Riverside , from the University of Sheffield, it was learned that very close to this complex was a settlement consisting of hundreds and hundreds of houses.And no, it was not a village.It was just a place that used to be inhabited a few days a year, those that seemed to coincide with a few days in particular, where people advanced along ceremonial avenues to reach Stonehenge.It was therefore a clearly ceremonial site...

Discovered secret hidden in Stonehenge

News discovered in Stonehenge

The work done by British scientists with the Ludwig Boltzmann Archaeological Institute has lasted four long years., of course, the latest technologies, georradares and GPS mangnetometers.The purpose? Create a precise 3D map of the area .

The results, if you want to contrast them, are accessible to anyone in the official magazine of the Smithsonian Institute , and we assure you that they are truly interesting.We, on our part, give you some brushstrokes to further ignite your curiosity.

The information that the georradares have given us about what is found "Hidden" under the same stonehenge entrails, they are simply amazing: there are fifteen more underground monuments, monuments of the Neolithic in the form of gigantic stones (henges).

These stones would show us that Stonehenge may become older than we think, and that the rituals performed there would come from much further back in time.Disturbing, isn't it?

These gigantic rocks, according to experts, would have been transported from North Wales , situ Ado about 170km away.Surprised? Of course, even more if we take into account that Stonehenge, is dated in 2,600 BC.So how did they transport such stone blocks from Wales to the south of England? Without a doubt, that must have been a social event that I need the help of hundreds and hundreds of people.

The famous ritual path has been discovered .A path by which people pilgrimage from that village that only inhabited a few days a year, to the monument.Many human remains have been found buried around, which makes experts think that perhaps, that journey of pilgrimage should be like a kind of rite to a healing sanctuary.

But Stonehenge hides something else in its entrails: "Wells." Two wells that coincide, geographically, with the longest days of the year, at sunrise and sunset. This would thus support the theory that the monument has a sophisticated astronomical precision, very associated for example with the equinoxes.

So, and waiting for the scientists to reveal more secrets to us and take out our curiosity, we will keep these fascinating data that, somehow We already intuited.And you, do you have your own theory about the purpose Stonehenge had in the past? Explain it to us, we would love to know your opinion!
