Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England is one of the most mysterious prehistoric monuments in the world. All kinds of mysteries linger. Scientists have now solved the mystery of where Stonehenge stone comes from. The United States has kept a key role model for decades.
reported by Reuters, investigators today hinted that the results of geochemical analysis showed that 52 light gray sandstone boulders of Stonehenge were Sasenite. Among (sarsens), 50 blocks have a joint source with a site called West Woods on the edge of Marlborough Downs in Wiltshire; West Woods is about 25 kilometers away from Stonehenge.
Stonehenge is believed to be built around 2500 BC. The largest of the stones is 9.1 meters high and the heaviest is about 30 tons.
University of Brighton topographicalist David Nash said: "These Sassen rocks are formed by signs The horseshoe-shaped stonehenge formed by the outer circle and the central three stone towers (two straight rocks supporting one level rock). They are all very complex."
The research led by Naishu was published in the journal "Science Advances".
Nash also said: "How they were moved to this location is still a mystery speculated by all walks of life. Because of the size of these boulders, they must have been towed or moved to the location of Stonehenge by rollers. We don’t know the exact route yet, but at least we know the beginning and the end.”
The smaller blue rock in Stonehenge was previously traced to Pembrokeshire, Wales, 250 kilometers away. ), but the source of Sa Sen Rock has never been confirmed.
According to reports, in the late 1950s, when the protection work was implemented, in order to stabilize a cracked boulder, a metal rod was inserted into it. The key example extracted from the center provided the primary message. The role model was finally given to Robert Phillips, who participated in the relevant homework at that time, as a nostalgia.
Nasch said that Phillips was allowed to take the example of Stonehenge in the United States in 1977, and lived in the state, 伊利诺州, California, and eventually settled in Florida. In 2018, Phillips decided to send the prototype back to the study. He has passed away this year.
The investigators analyzed the model fragments, established the geochemical fingerprints of the Sarsenites, and discovered that 50 of the 52 Sarsenites had geochemical fingerprints that were completely consistent with the West Woods sandstone.
