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.
