THE SECRETS OF STONEHENGE

All over the globe are historical mysteries left to us by the ancient world – lost civilizations, abandoned cities, and puzzling monuments. One unexplained mystery that has both inspired and mystified modern man for centuries is Stonehenge. Though it is one of the best-known artifacts in the world, we have no definitive idea of why it was built and what it was actually used for. Today, however, two new investigations may offer some answers.
The first theory begins with findings being unearthed not at Stonehenge, but at a location nearby. Archeologist Mike Parker Pearson and his colleagues have been studying an area about three kilometers (two miles) northeast of Stonehenge. Here stands Durrington Walls – a structure similar to Stonehenge but about 20 times larger. In and around Durrington Walls were three circular structures made of wood. Evidence suggests that these wooden circles were holy places, or perhaps the residences of important officials who cared for Durrington. Outside Durrington Walls, Parker Pearson and his colleagues have also recently discovered a village of up to 300 houses which date back more than 4,500 years.
What do the findings at Durrington Walls have to do with Stonehenge? Parker Pearson believes there is a connection between the two places, and he cites his recent studies of the Malagasy cultures in Madagaskar to help explain his theory. In Malagasy culture, stone is a symbol of hardened bones and death. Wood, in contrast, is associated with life.
Using this model, Parker Pearson sees associations between the wooden structures of Durrington and the hard monument of Stonehenge. Durrington, in this new theory, is the domain of the living, while Stonehenge is a place of the dead.

In Wales, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) west of Stonehenge, archeologists have another theory about why the monument was built and what it was used for. In this region of Wales are the Preseli Mountains. Archeologists have traced the origin of Stonehenge’s oldest stones (often referred to as “bluestones” because of their appearance when wet) to this site.

Stonehenge was one of the last great monuments built in ancient England. It was abandoned about 3,500 years ago, and because its creators wrote no texts to explain it, they have left us forever with one of history’s great puzzles to solve.

TAJNE STONEHENGE

diljem svijeta su istorijske misterije ostavio nam je drevni svijet - izgubljene civilizacije, napuštena gradova, i zbunjuje spomenika. Jedan neobjašnjivih misterija koji ima i nadahnuto i mistifikovane modernog čovjeka stoljećima je Stonehenge. Iako je jedan od najpoznatijih artefakata na svijetu, nemamo definitivan pojma zašto je izgrađen i šta je zapravo koristi za. Danas, međutim, dva nova istraga može ponuditi neke odgovore.
Prva teorija počinje s nalazima se iskopani ne na Stonehenge, ali u blizini. Arheolog Mike Parker Pearson i njegove kolege su proučavali područje oko tri kilometra (dva km) sjeveroistočno od Stonehenge. Ovdje stoji Durrington Walls - strukturu sličnu Stonehenge, ali oko 20 puta veći. U Durrington i oko zidovi su tri kružne konstrukcije od drveta. Dokazi ukazuju na to da ovi drveni krugovi su sveta mjesta, ili možda rezidencije važnih službenika koji brinuo za Durrington. Izvan Durrington Zidovi, Parker Pearson i njegove kolege su nedavno otkrili selo do 300 kuće koje datiraju više od 4.500 godina.
Šta se nalazi na Durrington zidovi imaju veze sa Stonehenge? Parker Pearson smatra da postoji veza između dva mjesta, a on navodi svoje nedavne studije o Malagasy kultura u Madagaskar da pomogne objasni svoju teoriju. U Malagajski kulturi, kamen je simbol od kaljenog kostiju i smrt. Drvo, za razliku od, je povezan sa životom.
Koristeći ovaj model, Parker Pearson vidi udruženja između drvenih struktura Durrington i hard spomenik Stonehenge. Durrington, u ovoj novoj teoriji, je domena života, dok je Stonehenge je mjesto mrtvih.

U Velsu, oko 400 kilometara (250 milja) zapadno od Stonehenge, arheolozi još jednu teoriju o tome zašto je izgrađen spomenik a ono što je za. U ovoj regiji Wales su Preseli planine. Arheolozi su u trag porijeklu najstarijih kamenja Stonehenge-a (često se naziva "Bluestones" zbog svog izgleda kada je mokar) na ovom sajtu.

Stonehenge je bio jedan od poslednjih velikih spomenika izgrađena u drevnoj Engleskoj. To je napuštena prije oko 3.500 godina, a zbog toga što njeni tvorci napisao ni tekstove da to objasnim, oni su nas napustili zauvek sa jednim od istorije velike zagonetke riješiti.
