Archeologists have long speculated that Stonehenge, the prehistoric stone circle in Wiltshire, England, was a sort of astronomical calendar because of its perfect alignment with the midsummer and midwinter solstices. However, they have struggled to determine how the calendar worked. Now, Professor Timothy Darvill of Bournemouth University in the UK, may have finally solved the mystery. The expert believes the 5,000-year-old neolithic monument served as a solar calendar for the local residents.

- rpreader약 3년I am absolutely obsessed with the idea of Stonehenge and well anything with no exact meaning just yet. I watched and read so many things and I do agree that it was a calendar but there is the exact same thing a little further away made out of wooden pillars. The stone represents life because the stone can never die while the wood would rot eventually. So at different seasons they went back in forth for festivals of rebirth and honoring the ones that died each year. Such an interesting topic. So cool!
