Bluehenge

Researchers from Sheffield University have found another circle of stones near the Stonehenge. The researchers called it the little sister of Stonehenge and named it Bluehenge. It is located some 2 miles away from the Stonehenge.

The discovery of this prehistoric circle is a major archaeological search in a decade. The search was carried out by researchers at the Sheffield University secretly during this summer. The circle was named Bluehenge after its 27 Welsh Stones it once accustomed. The stones are now missing but the big holes are still present. Researchers believe that its stones were used in Stonehenge during one of its many redevelopments. The presence of a smaller Stonehenge is already challenging the conventional knowledge about the original Stonehenge and its purpose. It is believed that the Bluehenge was built in the same time when Stonehenge was built bout 5,000 years ago. The chips of stones found in the Bluehenge were similar to the blue stones found in Stonehenge. The remains of the Bluehenge include 27 large holes which contained these stones. The holes were 60 ft wide. According to the historical wisdom, each of 27 stones weighs 4 ton and was made of a modified rock. The stones were rolled to the location. Bluehenge is located at the end of the Avenue which is ritual path connecting the Stonehenge to the Avon. Bluehenge was discovered by Professor Mike Parker Pearson of Sheffield University. The full details of Bluehenge will be published in February.
