england - Researchers reveal new insights into the reconstruction of Stonehenge and its origins

In August, a team of researchers provided evidence suggesting that the iconic Altar Stone at Stonehenge may have been transported from Scotland, not Wales as previously thought. The 6-ton sandstone is believed to have been moved approximately 5000 years ago.

Building on these findings, scientists now propose that Stonehenge might have been rebuilt in England around 2620 to 2480 BC in an effort to unite the ancient Britons as newcomers from the European mainland arrived.

A recent study published in Archaeology International also explores how the Neolithic people may have transported the stones over 700 kilometers.

Similarities between stone circles in Scotland and Stonehenge in Wiltshire suggest a stronger connection between ancient societies than previously believed.

Mike Parker Pearson, lead author of the study and professor of British prehistory at University College London, notes that the findings broaden our understanding of Stonehenge's possible original purpose.

While many questions remain, the monument's alignment with the winter and summer solstices hints at a deeper ancestral significance.

Parker Pearson emphasizes the importance of the Altar Stone within Stonehenge, highlighting its role during the midwinter solstice.
