Stonehenge mystery ... (*)

Some people think the archaeology is a strange science, because you have to infer the happens of the past...

Now I can show you a topic related with Stonehege with the sponsorship of The Guardian.
Stonehenge have been researched by archaeologists who believe this place is more than the object, they believe it have symbolic meaning.
The originals grave`stones were located in the Preseli hills in west Wales. Related with this, archaeologists believes an important person was buried there (this part going to be explained at the ending).
The archaeologist researcheres are Tim Darvill and Geoffrey Wainwright, who have been researching during 10 years. The Stonehenge`pieces have been sited there about 4,500 years ago, that knowledge was acquired by the professors on 2008.
Concerning with this, the professors  are believing the stones have a healing powers. If the stones was carried from Wales to the actual place, it suposse both places are linked, because was discovered a circle underneath Stonehenge and this line was there before the stones was sited. This is a hypothesis. Other hypothesis related with Stonehenge include the important person who was mentioned at the beginning.
If you  consider the shape of the place, you can realized the stones are protecting something and in the middle, something like a burial, so, the archaeologist believe  in the middle of the place was buried the architect of Stonhenge.

...The people`thoughts wasn`t too wrong...
