Still Trying to Solve the Stonehenge Mystery
One of the mysteries of Stonehenge has been ‘why is it there’. Now researchers are offering an explanation to account for the ‘why’ part of the mystery:
“The secret of Stonehenge has apparently been solved: The mysterious circle of large stones in southern England was primarily a burial ground for almost five centuries, and the site probably holds the remains of a family that long ruled the area, new research concludes.”

Anyone who has visited is struck by the massive size of the stones and wonder about the precise placement. The recent explanation may address the reason for Stonehenge but how it was done remains to the imagination and speculation. That genius still defies explanation.

Be very careful with answers as to ‘why’, we haven’t quite finished with the ‘how’ yet. All very interesting though!
