This is a full history and explanation of this world-famous structure and the people who built it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e5,000 years ago, the people who lived on the north Pembrokeshire coast moved their entire culture, along with as many as 8o 1-to-2 tonne “Bluestones”, 300km across country to the place now known as Stonehenge. Why? In this book you will find an answer – 50 years of archaeological discoveries and forensic science have been assembled into a fascinating story of Stone Age motivation and achievement. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey first built a lunar observatory to try and unravel the Moon’s influence on the tides in their fishery, the estuary of the Nevern river, but the observations failed – they had no clear horizon to monitor moonrise bearings. But they knew of a better place in southern England where the chalk Downs inhibited tree growth and had clear horizons. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd so, Stonehenge came to be. It is the sum of 5 or 6 different circular constructions, all with the same centre. The builders of Stonehenge 1 defined that centre and made the 110m diameter boundary ditch and, most puzzling to modern investigators, the number 56 of the Aubrey ring of Bluestones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book gives the answer. The only answer so far that tells us why, at Stonehenge, 56 is 14 times 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56943148826998,"sku":"9781836285793","price":8.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_39202751_fde89ec0-4b62-48b5-83d1-ba9795abba7d.jpg?v=1767059631","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781836285793-solving-stonehenge","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
