Madrid (EP) .- Scientists University of Birmingham have discovered about Stonehenge A total of 17 new structures of stone or wood, among which are distinguished buildings and tombs. This finding, achieved through radar scanners, determines what a lonely group of stones is believed, is actually the center of a “vast network of religious buildings” used in “horrible, involving the dead” ritual. So what explained the authors of the research, on Tuesday, during the British Science Festival in Birmingham, where they stressed that it is the largest geophysical survey ever undertaken. Thanks to the work of this team for four years, has been able to complete a digital map covering 12 square kilometers around Stonehenge. Among the most prominent bodies have been found over a building 30 meters long -shaped wheelbarrow, possibly made of wooden pillars, a distance of about two kilometers from the center of Stonehenge.
What date in 2400 BC and, according to the Daily Mail, is believed to be the site of complex rituals, including the elimination of the flesh and limbs of corpses. It is also speculated that it has been used for seven generations of one family before it was buried for thousands of years. The other great monument was detected northeast of Stonehenge, there is a huge structure of nearly 500 meters wide. Specifically, we have found a row of 70 large stones or posts, about three feet high each, lined along the southern border of the territory explored. Similarly, mass graves have been found, some of which appear to be astronomical and solar links with Stonehenge. Researchers believing that the monument was positioned to reflect the sun’s movement confirms say. The project leader Vince Gaffney, explained that “this radically changes the view of Stonehenge”. “In the past we had this idea that Stonehenge was standing in splendid isolation, but it’s not, it’s absolutely huge,” he added.
