The Stonehenge origins' mystery deepens as scientists unlock new hidden secrets of the iconic monument's enigmatic altar stone. For a long time, Stonehenge has been a mystery that has baffled people about its origins. Now, according to recent reports, scientists and researchers claim that they have cracked a mystery behind the altar stone. The composition of the rock was examined, and it has been determined that the altar stone has its origins in present-day Scotland. According to the study, this means that the altar stone was most likely brought over to its current location from more than 450 miles from its original location. It is estimated that the stones were installed over 4,500 years ago. However, since the rock is huge, transporting it would have been no easy task, especially considering that there were no technological advancements at the time. While this discovery is undoubtedly groundbreaking, at the same time, it also raises questions about the capabilities of the ancient people. Stonehenge's 'altar Stone' Originally Came from Scotland and Not Wales, New Research Shows.
