Summary:
- This article discusses new research that suggests humans may have transported the bluestones used to build Stonehenge from a site in Wales, located about 150 miles away from the famous monument.
- The researchers used a combination of geological analysis and computer modeling to determine that the bluestones likely came from the Preseli Hills in Wales, and that they were likely moved to the Stonehenge site during the last Ice Age, when the landscape was very different.
- The findings provide insights into the incredible engineering and organizational skills of the people who built Stonehenge, and suggest that they may have had a deep connection to the Preseli Hills region, which could have had spiritual or cultural significance.
