Here’s some archaeologists who claim they have revealed the purpose of the Stonehenge.
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. |
