- lowdose 6y agoWe know that the genetic makeup of Stonehenge’s builders changed over time due to migration from Europe first it started by Neolithic people that migrated from Turkey & south of Spain. Over time they were replaced by the beaker people and the influx of these people into England has been greater than the migration of these people to Germany or France. I can't find the specific article anymore about this being a celebrated event and people traveling from far. It could be I reversed the causal relation and the new builders just happend to be migrating anyway. The setup of Stonehenge does have a remarkable coincidence with the longest & shortest day of the year.It was also a long held belief druids build Stonehenge for sacrificial offerings but that didn't match the actual timeline of their migration. Considering all builders of Stonehenge were farmers and highly dependent on seasonality, I personally wouldn't be surprised that the stones were used to put people on top and offered in a light of fire so the gods could make changing of the seasons happen. What do you think?
