Solve Stonehenge Secret

Archaeologists said it would unveil the secret veil of Stonehenge, the majestic stone monuments megalistik in Southern England - then when will the first standing stones placed at the ancient religious site?

Concentric circle of stones that make up Stonehenge, 130 km southwest of London on Salisbury plain area, consist of giant sandstone blocks and bluestones smaller blue-colored volcanic rock with white spots.

Stonehenge experts Tim Darvill and Geoff Wainwright will use modern techniques to calculate the age by analyzing the carbon and soil dust (soil) and sea shells to find out when the stones were arranged, in place of the first archaeological excavation (primordial matter) on the World Heritage site since 1964.

"If you want to know why Stonehenge was built, you need to look as far as 250 km into the hills Presili in North Pembrokeshire, from where bluestones (blue stone), the first to build Stonehenge came from." Wainwright said this to reporters during a two-week excavation begins.

The two archaeologists, who have worked hard in the hills Presili (Presili Hills) in recent years, trust bluestones, is building the first stone circle at Stonehenge, have magical healing powers.

Stones that stand firm that was founded 5,000 years ago, ahead of the older religious site, marked by a mound of earth embankment or a wheeled carts.

"If you want to know when the first stone placed at Stonehenge, you need to dig a small trench around the connection of stone and dated by what you find. That is what we are doing now, "said Wainwright.

The theory of the role of Stonehenge range from supranatual-one of the legendary magician Merlin said, the building was made to link the offering worship to the sun.

Wainwright, president of the Society of Antiquaries, dan Darvill, professor arkeologi di Bournemouth University, berharap penemuan mereka akan mendukung teori mereka bahwa Stonehenge adalah sama dengan spa yang menyehatkan di jaman kuno.

"This is a place of healing for body and soul," says Darvill. "The Presili Hills is a magical place. The stones from there are considered to have healing powers.

A total of 80 bluestones, each weighing between 1 and 4 tons. Transported via land and sea from South Wales to the Salisbury plains between 4,500 and 5,000 years ago.

Only about a third remaining at the site of origin, the rest have been stolen or destroyed during ma thousands of years.

"In the early 1900s there were signs in Amesbury (the nearest town to the site) offers the hammer for rent so people can come to take your own little bluestone rocks," said Darvill.

They differ with sandstone 'sarsens' used to create a monument quickly recognizable.

Excavation has even been blessed by Druids, spiritual descendants of the priests educated before the Christian Celts ic Europe, who have ties with ancient sites.
