Unveiling a mesmerizing theory about Stonehenge’s ‘Bluestones’—those mighty monoliths trekked a staggering 140 miles from Wales to Wiltshire 5,000 years ago. A new book by Alun Rees suggests these stones weren’t just phenomenally heavy but carried immense symbolic significance. Polished dolerite stones may have shimmered against a starlit sky and produced bell-like chimes during ancient ceremonies. Imagine a night sky mirrored on the ground, with bluestone stars twinkling back in ethereal harmony!
Rees’ fascinating take suggests our ancestors might have regarded these stones as sacred not only for their appearance but also their unique sound. The question of how these stones made their epic journey has sparked endless curiosity. Perhaps using the natural power of the Bristol Channel’s tides, they could have been sailed to the River Avon—an audacious feat of Neolithic engineering and cooperation!
Rees’ book, “Stonehenge Deciphered: Astonishing Secrets of the Iconic Henge,” dives deep into the enigmatic history with insights from academic sources. The uncovering of a chipped bluestone layer at Stonehenge, dubbed “Bluestone Debitage,” adds weight to the theory of ongoing polishing over generations.
Explore how ancient Britons might have harnessed the timeless allure of light and sound in ways we’ve just begun to understand.
