A National Geographic article that explains how a teenage boy
was found buried outside of Amesbury, three miles from
Stonehenge. He was buried about3,550 years ago, and had a
peculiar special amber necklace with him. Human hair and teeth
are like tree rings, and from an analysis of his teeth, it was
found out that the boy had done a lot of traveling, and that
perhaps, he came from a wealthy family.The boy did not have
any injuries, so he did not come to Stonehenge to be healed.

stops moving northward in the sky. It means the days will start
growing shorter again. The article also explains how
Stonehenge is tied to the winter solstice as well.

A viewpoint on the astronomical aspect of Stonehenge. The
site shows the possibility of it being used as a predictor of
eclipses. The site starts off by explaining that
astronomer Gerald S. Hawkins proposed that the
architecture was designed to function as a tracker, tracking
the positions of the moon over recurring cycles. In the
article,
Archaeologist Vance Tiede shows his support for Gerald S.
Hawkin's theory.
