Index – Outside – The mystery of Stonehenge has been solved, that's where the huge ancient stones come from

Geomorphologist Professor David Nash made the landmark discovery after re-examining stone samples from Stonehenge dating back to 1950. The mirror writes British tabloid newspaper.

Using modern technology, researchers have already made several amazing historical discoveries, including sampling the remains of Christopher Columbus and ancient Greek tablets, reshaping our understanding of history.

In major research, Nash showed that the massive boulders came from the Marlborough Downs in Wiltshire, while the smaller bluestones came from the Presley Hills in Wales.

An important specimen of a hornbill that spent a long time in Florida has finally been returned to English Heritage. This is what prompted the British Academy to support Professor Nash's exploration of the secrets of Stonehenge.

Since measurements also revealed that most of the sarsen stones had the same composition, it can be assumed that they were excavated at the same time and then erected in the cult center around 2500 BC. From the place from which the stones were extracted, it is also possible to infer the route taken from the quarry to the construction site, so the routes based on previous assumptions were also clarified, he wrote.
