One of the world's most famous prehistoric sites, the Stonehenge located about 8 miles north of Salisbury, England- has been the subject of so much study, and so little in the way of answers, that it is an archaeologist's dream; maybe they'll soon be the ones to solve the mystery of why, how, and who.
That definitely seems to be the mission for Timothy Darvill, a leading
Stonehenge scholar from Bournemouth University, and Geoffrey
Wainwright, president of the Society of Antiquaries, who have just
begun a new dig at the famed site.
The new dig-the first in over sixty years- will last until the 11th of
April in hopes of finding who built Stonehenge, for what reason, and
why they brought the magnificent stones all the way from Wales.
"We will be able to say not only why, but when the
first stone monument was built."
In fact, at the beginning, it is believed that
the structure was actually made of wooden posts
where did the stones come from?
