Stonehenge may have been a place for healing.
LONDON - Two British archaeologists declared today that they
have uncovered the core reason behind the construction of one of
the world’s best known and least understood landmarks.
The stone circle at Stonehenge has stood for thousands of years
- and bred endless debate over whether it was a temple for ancient
sun-worshippers, a sacred burial site, or even a kind of massive
prehistoric astronomical calculator.
Professors Geoffrey Wainwright and Timothy Darvill argued their
own explanation for the mysterious monument: Stonehenge, they said,
was a kind of primeval Lourdes, drawing prehistoric pilgrims from
around Europe.
