Mystery of who moved huge ‘bluestones’ to Stonehenge could be solved

It’s the great mystery of Stonehenge – how did Stone Age people carry the huge ‘bluestones’ to the site from more than 100 miles away?

But a Welsh scientist has claimed that ancient people may not have been involved at all, and the stones were carried to the site by glaciers 500,000 years ago.

In a new book, The Stonehenge Bluestones, Brian John argues the stones were ‘just there’.

He says there’s little evidence that the stones were ‘mined’ in Wales – and suggests that a simpler explanation is that a glacier carried them across the landscape.

John said, ‘Over the past 50 years there has been a drift, in Stonehenge studies, from science toward mythology. This has been driven partly by constant media demands for new and spectacular stories about the monument.

‘This has been driven partly by constant media demands for new and spectacular stories about the monument, and partly by the archaeological emphasis on impact.

‘So we see an obsession with narrative at the expense of evidence, and a host of newly manufactured myths which are even more wacky than the old ones. It’s time for a cool reassessment.’

It's only a mystery if one buys into the mainstream model of our history, which supposes that people were nothing but primitives thousands of years ago, and that there has been no previous advanced civilizations that could do similar things to what we are doing right now.

Of course. They can't admit that what they call Stone Age was, in reality, a time when we were more spiritually, scientifically and technologically more advanced than we are today. So they make up stupid theories to justify the creation of stone circles, pyramids and ziggurat, or they say it's a mystery, instead of facing reality for what it is.

Stonehenge stones did not come via the sea, new study suggests


The bluestones of Stonehenge probably came overland, archaeologists now believe

The theory that the huge bluestones of Stonehenge were transported from Wales by sea has been debunked by archaeologists after finding the stones belong to quarries that point away from the coast.

42 of the monument’s stones come from the Preseli hills in Pembrokeshire, west Wales and many experts thought that Neolithic Britons floated them from Milford Haven, through the Bristol Channel and up the River Avon.

But new excavations at 5,000-year-old quarries has pinpointed the exact location that the stones came from, which casts doubt on the watery explanation.

The largest quarry was found almost 180 miles away from Stonehenge on the outcrop of Carn Goedog, on the north slope of the Preseli hills, meaning it was far easier to go overland than take the stones around the hills to the coast.

“Some people think that the bluestones were taken southwards and placed on rafts or slung between boats and then paddled up the Bristol Channel and along the Bristol Avon towards Salisbury Plain,” said Professor Kate Welham, of Bournemouth University.

“But these quarries are on the north side of the Preseli hills so the megaliths could have simply gone overland all the way to Salisbury Plain.”

Archaeologists also identified a second quarry in the valley below Carn Goedog, at Craig Rhos-y-felin which contained rhyolite, a type of igneous rock, which was found at Stonehenge.

Excavations at the foot of both outcrops show the remains of man-made stone and earth platforms, and at a hollowed-out track linking the sites, the team recovered pieces of charcoal dating to around 3000 BCE - the same period that Stonehenge was built.

Professor Mike Parker Pearson, of the archaeology department at University College London, said: “What’s really exciting about these discoveries is that they take us a step closer to unlocking Stonehenge’s greatest mystery – why its stones came from so far away.

“Every other Neolithic monument in Europe was built of megaliths brought from no more than 10 miles away.

“We’re now looking to find out just what was so special about the Preseli hills 5,000 years ago, and whether there were any important stone circles here, built before the bluestones were moved to Stonehenge.”

The bluestone outcrops are formed of natural, vertical pillars, which allowed the stones to be hewn off the rock face by opening up vertical joints and inserting wedges to prise them apart.

“An engineering colleague has suggested that hammering in a hard wedge could have created stress fractures, causing the thin pillars to crack.

“Using a soft wedge means that, if anything were to break, it would be the wedge and not the pillar,” added Professor Parker Pearson.

The bluestone pillars were then moved onto wooden sledges and dragged away, the team believes.

The new research was published in the journal Antiquity.

Stonehenge are Astrological.

There are places on earth where Ley lines are active, i.e, places like egiptian Pyramids or Stonehenge where the energies are VERY powerful and have been specially build by ancient pagans of Satan to align with the planetary energies.

Stonehenge was used to predict the phases of the Moon, eclipses and much more, accurately.

“Basing his ideas on numerology and gematria, Michell puts forward the suggestion that both Stonehenge and Glastonbury were structures designed with incredible subtlety on principles accredited to traditional magic for the purpose of collecting, storing, and transmitting solar energy.”

It's OK. We're learning.
