Tomb discovered in Wales is linked to Stonehenge

The Epoch Times helps put two and two together. Strange blue stones found at newly discovered Welsh tomb may have wound up at Stonehenge. And that’s just the beginning.

The archeologists believe the 80 bluestones at Stonehenge originated from the same area as the tomb and were transported around 160 miles (nearly 260 kilometers) to the Wiltshire plains about 4,500 years ago (around 2,300BC).

Uncovering the reason for this epic journey will unlock the mystery behind Stonehenge’s existence.

The Preseli area has many springs linked with ritual healing in prehistory, and this could explain why the bluestones were quarried for Stonehenge, despite being so far away.
