Researchers uncover a Stonehenge mystery

New research has unveiled another one of Stonehenge's mysteries.

Scientists now believe that the largest Altar Stone at the heart of the prehistoric structure may have come from north-east Scotland and not from Wales as previously thought.

Research now shows that the six-tonne stone almost certainly came from the Orcadian Basin that lies north of Inverness.

Another historical testament to the power of Scotch whiskey.

The Egyptians : What...they moved one rock?
Hold my Mummy..

The oldest calender in the World is from stone in North East Scotland, so check if it's the same type of rock!

Another hypothesis I would suggest is. I'm not trying to take away from human engineering. Giving that stone hinge is at this time estimated to be 5, 000 years old. The last ice age ended approximately 11, 500 years ago. The glaciers easily could have pushed or carried the alter stone considerably closer to the site. Either way, the stone being there is remarkable.

"they only had primitive tools, " and yet they have no idea where the stones even came from. These people don’t know what theyre talking about! Ropes that will disappear, pulley systems, and wheels are not primitive.

Merlin moved it. It's pretty well documented.

The people of antiquity were really very intelligent, I can't say the same about this generation tictoc 😂😂😂😂

Hate to break it to you guys, but to most of the planet, northern Scotland and Wales are the same place.

The Chinese got the massive stones for the Forbidden City across huge distances by putting well rounded logs under the stone and pushed it that way. Many many people died during the process.

Part of solving the mystery is acknowledging that moving ridiculously large megaliths wasn't a big problem for people all around the world back then.
When is archeology finally gonna admit there was a global advanced civilization way before we started.
We think we are so smart... the smartest ever to live on this planet.
We are not first... we won't be the last.

One of the biggest Henges in the world!

A 5000 year old mystery solved before GTA6

Good job they had a great railroad system.

[dustintacohands]

That means the center of this is in Scotland… clearly used for mini golf and weddings sometimes when the druids finished golfing

[chrisingram]

But what were the stone carvers pronouns!

[speedymccreedy]

These days any ‘mystery’ seems to have only three possible answers, dark matter, aliens, or global warming. We might have to put this one down to aliens.

[Azmania]

Well uh, Leonadro DaVinci invented a time machine, and with the help of the crab people, moved the rock to the site of stonehenge. This enabled first contact via a psychic beam to advanced alien life in the andromeda galaxy.

Back in those days the land was tilted so they slid it down to Stonehenge! 😂

[Scalihoo]

The Druids would enjoy a wee dram from time to time.., head north for the Alter stone boys. ! 🥃🥃

the big thing holding back most of Earth history being accurate is to account for the ET migrant
