This video by Michael Button discusses a recent groundbreaking discovery about the Altar Stone at Stonehenge, which was previously believed to be from Wales but a new study in August 2024 revealed it originated from northeastern Scotland, over 700 km away. This finding challenges traditional views of Neolithic people, suggesting a more advanced and interconnected society with sophisticated organizational, engineering, and logistical capabilities, possibly including seafaring.
The video also highlights other remarkable aspects of Stonehenge, such as the transportation of massive sarsen stones and bluestones, its precise astronomical alignment, and potential acoustic properties. The distant origins of all the stones point to a highly interconnected Britain during the Neolithic period, a concept supported by other stone monuments across the British Isles. Furthermore, similarities with global monumental stone structures hint at a potentially lost global system of measurement. The video concludes by arguing that our understanding of Neolithic Britain needs a significant update to reflect the true sophistication of these societies.
