Solve the Secrets of Stonehenge

Archeologists said they would uncover secrets of Stonehenge, the majestic stone monuments megalistik in South England - and when were the first standing stones placed at the ancient religious site?

Concentric stone circles that make up Stonehenge, 130 kilometers southwest of London on the vast Salisbury plain, consisting of huge sandstone blocks and smaller bluestones bluish-colored volcanic rock with white spots.

Experts Stonehenge, Tim Darvill and Geoff Wainwright will use modern techniques to calculate the age of the carbon and powder analyze soil (soil) and sea shells to find out when the stones were arranged, in the first archaeological excavations (ancient objects) at the World Heritage since , 1964.

"If you want to know why Stonehenge was built, you need to look as far as 250 miles to the hills of North Pembrokeshire Presili, from which the bluestones (blue stone) 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, the trust bluestones, is forming the first stone circle at Stonehenge, have magical healing powers.

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

"If you want to know when the first stone laid at Stonehenge, you need to dig a small trench around the connection stones and date on what you find. That is what we are doing today, "said Wainwright.

The theory of the role of Stonehenge range from supranatual-one says the legendary sorcerer Merlin-building offerings were made to link the worship of the sun.

Wainwright, president of the Society of antiquaries, and Darvill, professor of archeology at Bournemouth University, hope their findings will support their theory that Stonehenge is the same as a healthy spa in ancient times.

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

A total of 80 bluestones, each weigh between 1 to 4 tons. Transported by land and sea from South Wales to Salisbury Plain between 4500 and 5000 years ago.

Only about one-third remained in its original location, the rest have been stolen or destroyed between ma thousands of years.

"In the early 1900s there were signs in Amesbury (the nearest town to the site) offering for rent a hammer so that people can come to pick up their own little bluestone rocks," said Darvill.

They differ with sandstone 'sarsens' used to make the monument quickly identifiable.

Excavation has even been approved by the Druids, spiritual descendants of the learned priests before Celt ic Christian Europe, which has ties to the ancient sites.
