💨 Abstract
The mystery of Stonehenge's purpose might finally be unraveling. Researchers suggest the iconic stones, sourced from Scotland, Wales, and Wiltshire, were erected around 5,000 years ago to unify ancient Britain, both politically and religiously. The Altar Stone from Scotland, along with other distant rocks, may signify an alliance or collaboration. Stonehenge's alignment with the solstice sun and its use as a cremation site emphasize its significance.
