Stonehenge was a place of feast

Have you visited Stonehenge in Britain? I have once. It was a huge and mysterious field.


What kind of the site it is and why such strange objects were built remain uncertain even now. Researchers claim several hypotheses. According to the newest study, Stonehenge was a field of a feast. People ate animals and made cheese and yogurt from milk there.

Independent: Stonehenge was the site of huge feasts with animals driven down from Scotland to eat, researchers find

This hypothesis seems rational considering the uniqueness of the arranged stones. I hardly imagine ancient people spent ordinary days there.

In Europe, there are many ruins kept intact. Also in Japan, we can see several historic buildings. But most of them were made from woods. Therefore, they are at risk of burn, decaying, and corruption. In the WWII, several valuable buildings were destroyed because of bombing by the US air-force. I am a little jealous to European stone-made culture in the ancient era.
