British researchers recently discovered a second ancient stone formation near the original mystical Stonehenge site that they are hailing, as the one of the most important prehistoric finds in years.
Located in the English county of Wiltshire, researchers unearthed the second Stonehenge monument at the end of a path connecting Stonehenge to the River Avon known as “The Avenue.”
The researchers discovered evidence of 27 stones in the new monument they have dubbed, “Bluehenge” in reference to the use of blue Welsh stones in the building of the ancient circle. The Bluehenge monument is smaller than the original Stonehenge circle, which is comprised of 56 large stones.
The researchers believe both monuments were built about the same time at around 2,000 BC and were used together, as either a prehistoric calendar or a place to worship ancient earth deities.
Researchers believe additional prehistoric circles and stone formations are beneath the earth, just waiting to be discovered in the English countryside.
