Stonehenge's purpose may have been to unify ancient Britain after scientists make discovery about stones' origins
Researchers have been focusing on the six-tonne altar stone at the centre of the Wiltshire landmark, which was recently discovered to have come from northeast Scotland - not from west Wales - as had previously been thought.
Stonehenge may have been built to unite the early people of Britain - long before there was a kingdom, a new study has suggested.
Geological analysis has revealed the stones were brought to Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire from the far north, west and south of the island nearly 5,000 years ago.
The effort to transport them hundreds of miles with only primitive tools must mean they had a unifying purpose, according to research published in the journal Archaeology International.
Professor Mike Parker Pearson, lead researcher and an archaeologist at University College London, said: "The fact that all of its stones originated from distant regions, making it unique among over 900 stone circles in Britain, suggests that [Stonehenge] may have had a political as well as a religious purpose - as a monument of unification for the peoples of Britain, celebrating their eternal links with their ancestors and the cosmos."
Recent research on the six-tonne altar stone, which lies within the circle, has given a new insight to the mysterious monument.
A team from Aberystwyth University showed it came from northeast Scotland, not from west Wales, as had previously been thought.

The finding could explain why the alter stone is laid horizontally, with similarities to the "recumbent" stone circles only found in that area of Scotland.

Stonehenge; the Aubrey Circuit
and The Sabbatical Law and Calendar.
The Stonehenge observatory, situated on the Salisbury Plains of Southern England, remains to most modern researchers, one of the foremost mysteries of British antiquity. It is far too often hastily concluded by researchers, that we will never truly know what the site was constructed for; but this is a view, far too constrained by the thinking of those who seek to fit the Universe into their ability to comprehend it, rather than seek to expand their comprehension to be able to understand the Universe.
Continues.
