For years the massive, prehistoric stone structures known as Stonehenge have been baffling historians and sparking the interest of mystery-lovers worldwide. It is unknown why these stones were arranged in such a manner thousands of years ago, but the more research is done the closer we come to solving this mystery.

Researchers have concluded that Stonehenge started out as a giant graveyard for a wealthy community. This conclusion is based on cremated bones of men, women and children found at the site which date back to approximately 3,000 B.C. Initially, it had been thought that it was a burial ground for some prehistoric dynasty, but it turns out it was a regular community of people!

The stone structures which are so familiar to us now, however, were made a bit later. The graves were marked with smaller stones and researchers theorize that the massive structures were made later and were the location of summer and winter solstices. This conclusions derives from the teeth of cattle found around the site which suggest that they were slaughtered at an early age and thus meant to be eaten for feasts.

More research will need to be done in order to fully figure out what and why Stonehenge is, but we’re getting closer!
