HOW THEY'VE BUILT STONEHENGE!

How was Stonehenge built? Five thousand years ago, a six-ton stone traveled 750 km from the far north of Scotland to the heart of Stonehenge, with no roads, no horses and no cranes. New science is finally cracking the mystery. In this investigation we explore how Neolithic people moved Stonehenge's giant sarsen stones from West Woods, how the bluestones were dragged more than 200 km from the Preseli Hills in Wales, and the 2024 discovery that the Altar Stone came from northeast Scotland. You'll also see how a cow's tooth found in 1924 may prove that cattle helped haul the stones, why Stonehenge is aligned with the summer and winter solstice, and which famous theory about who built Stonehenge is completely false. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 The mystery of the 750 km stone 0:36 The giant sarsen stones 1:51 The bluestones and the cow 2:42 The Altar Stone from Scotland 3:30 Why was Stonehenge built? 4:11 The verdict: who really built it 💬 How do you think they moved the Altar Stone?
