Who knew there were two?
|
Archeologists say there was a second Stonehenge only a few
miles from the first one (the area where most of the
crop
circles turn up
every
year).
The new area has been named "Bluestonghenge," after the 25
stones which once made up the circle. The stones were
removed thousands of years ago but the hole remain. Their
size indicates that they were bluestones, brought from
Wales, 150 miles away. Carbon dating may reveal if the
stones that are currently in the inner circle of Stonehenge
were originally located at the other circle construction.
In the October 6th edition of the Guardian, James Sturcke
and Maev Kennedy quote archeologist Mike Pearson as
saying, "The big, big question is when were our stones
erected and when were they removed, and when we get the
dating evidence we can answer both those questions."
On this week's
Dreamland, Marie D. Jones talks about how these
giant stones may have been moved using sound, while for
subscribers,
Lucy Pringle talks about people who witnessed the creation of
a crop circle.
