Where does Stonehenge’s altar stone come from?
Did you know that Stonehenge’s Altar Stone is surprisingly Scottish? According to a new analysis published in Nature, about 4,500 years ago, Neolithic mariners might have transported this six-tonne monolith more than 800 kilometres by sea from the far north of Scotland — distinguishing its origin from the other stones, which came from England and Wales. The findings provide further insights into the culture and connectivity of prehistoric Britain and suggest a high level of societal organisation.
