Solving Stonehenge Secrets


Archeologists said they would uncover the secret veil of Stonehenge, the majestic stone monuments in Britain megalistik South - then when will the first standing stones placed in the ancient religious place?
Concentric stone circles that make up Stonehenge, 130 miles southwest of London on the vast plains of Salisbury, consisting of giant sandstone blocks and smaller bluestones-colored volcanic rock with a bluish white spots.


Stonehenge experts Tim Darvill and Geoff Wainwright will use modern techniques to calculate age with carbon powder and analyze soil (soil) and sea shells to find out when the rocks were arranged, in the first archaeological excavation (ancient objects) on World Heritage sites since 1964.

"If you want to know why Stonehenge was built, you need to look as far as 250 miles into the hills Presili in North Pembrokeshire, from where the bluestones (blue stone) was first to build Stonehenge came from." Wainwright said this to reporters during a two-week excavation begins.

Both archaeologists, who have worked hard in the hills Presili (Presili Hills) in recent years, the trust bluestones, is building the first stone circle at Stonehenge, have magical healing powers.

Stone that stands firm was founded 5,000 years ago, ahead of the older religious places, marked by a heap or mound of wheeled carts.

"If you want to know when the first stone laid at Stonehenge, you need to dig a small trench around the connection of stone and dated by what you find. That is what we are doing today, "said Wainwright.

The theory of the role of Stonehenge range from supranatual-one is saying the legendary sorcerer Merlin-building offerings were made to link the worship of the sun.

Wainwright, president of the Society of Antiquaries, and Darvill, professor of archeology at Bournemouth University, hope their findings will support their theory that Stonehenge was the same as a healthful spa in ancient times.

"This is a place of healing for body and soul," Darvill said. "The Presili Hills is a magical place. The stones from there are considered to have healing powers.

A total of 80 bluestones, each weighed between 1 to 4 tons. Transported by land and sea from South Wales to Salisbury plain between 4500 and 5000 years ago.

Only about one-third remaining at the site of origin, the rest has been stolen or destroyed between ma thousands of years.

"In the early 1900s there were signs in Amesbury (the nearest town to the site) offer for rent a hammer so that people can come to take his own little stones are bluestone," Darvill said.

They differ with sandstone 'sarsens' used to make the monument can be recognized quickly.

Excavation has even been sanctioned by the Druids, spiritual descendants of the priests educated before Celt ic Christian Europe, which have ties with ancient sites.
