People, not glaciers, transported rocks to Stonehenge.

The article focuses on new research that confirms humans, rather than glaciers, transported the megaliths of Stonehenge to their current location in southern England. The study analyzed microscopic mineral grains from rivers around Stonehenge, revealing that glaciers did not reach the region during the last ice age, which challenges the long-held 'glacial transport theory.' The bluestones are identified as originating from the Preseli Hills in Wales, suggesting they were dragged approximately 140 miles, while the Altar Stone likely came from northern England or Scotland, indicating a possible journey of over 300 miles. The findings indicate that the minerals found in the area are local remnants, further supporting the idea that ancient builders moved the stones themselves. [Extracted from the article]
