I’m really starting to hate whoever built Stonehenge for whatever reason they built it. It’s getting to be one of those annoying mysteries.

The site was originally found in 2007 but National Geographic has a good article on the internet today, with some interesting photos.

Since they went to Stonehenge Dec 21, winter solstice, I wonder what made them go there in such cold weather.

I wonder if they’ll find any writing. Can’t imagine that construction, so precise, not having written plans.

I’m sorry, but those Stonehengey planned communities just aren’t attractive and they’re impossible to landscape..

This map shows the location of Durrington Walls and its position in relation to Stonehenge.

The latest excavations in the area suggest Stonehenge formed part of a much larger ritual complex that was spread across the surrounding landscape.

The newly found avenue at Durrington Walls connects the monument to the River Avon, which in turn links to another avenue downstream, which leads to Stonehenge.

Mike Parker Pearson of the Stonehenge Riverside Project argues that the course of the river between the two ancient monuments symbolized the passage to the afterlife.

Durrington Walls was used for feasts and rituals that celebrated life, while Stonehenge was both a memorial and final resting place for the dead, the archaeologist speculates.
