A new Theory for Stonehenge



In this post I am going to refer about one of the last findings about Stonehenge based on the video from the BBC I watched and also from some articles I read about this new finding.
For years, it has been a totally darkness about what was the purpose of the Stonehenge. For many years scientists have tried to figure out why these huge stones are placed in a circle. Some theories say that it might have been a place for healing, or perhaps it was a place for watching the stars like an astronomical place. But, one last finding made by some scientists, who have dug a huge hole in the same place where Stonehenge are located, has brought a new theory about what was the purpose of Stonehenge. This new theory says that Stonehenge might have been a place where people come for healing themselves. This theory has its support on the fact that some researchers have found bodies buried next to the Stonehenge with some kind of illnesses which has led to researchers to think that Stonehenge was a place where ill people come for healing.
When I think in Stonehenge I inexorably tend to relate them with the Easter Island here in Chile with its famous Moais that are huge as the Stonehenge. Nobody knows how the Moais were placed there.
