Stonehenge - a Monument to the Dead?

| | Comments (2)

Stonehenge is magnificent in appearance and steeped in mystery. But maybe, just maybe, an answer has been found. The blocks, may be tombstones, memorials to the dead.

According to National Geographic:

Newly dated human remains unearthed at the megalithic circle in southern England reveal Stonehenge was a place of burial from its earliest beginnings some 5,000 years ago, said Mike Parker Pearson, who leads the Stonehenge Riverside Project.

And if you watch this video, you will learn about other amazing discoveries at Stonehenge.

Isn't it amazing what can be found when digging in the ground?
