This article
is about Bluestone in Stonehenge, this term designee to all of the foreign
stone at Stonehenge. The Professors Tim
Darvill and Geoffrey Wainwright, archaeologist are dig this site, thinks that
the bluestones in Stonehenge are an evidence of the healing power of this
stones, because,
they are brought from south Wale, to 150 miles of distance. In this way, they
argue that this magic power is explained by the huge human effort inverted in
this work.
A few of
evidence about the magic use of the bluestones, was been the find of the 2
pieces of this stone, broken in many fragments, and this fragments was using
for talismans. The bluestones circle was dating in 2.300 B.C. by samples of
organics remains. But, the world famous profile of the monuments, was created
in 1.900 B.C. after a systematic movement of the stones. However, charcoal
fragments was dating recently around 7.000 B.C.
Another
evidence of the magic power or use of the bluestones, are many humans bodies
found it, this bodies evidence many marks about illness, this suggest that this
persons was arrive to this place for a cure.
They think
that Stonehenge was a multifunctional place, was using as a calendar, for the
solstices, and as an ancestral worship.
One rival
theory suggests that the stones are move by glacial force, and they are not
evidence of human occupation. But, Darvill and Wainwright, completely defeat
this theory.
I would totally reject the idea of a glacial movement of the rocks and support the thesis for a more symbolic meaning of these bluestones for the people at that times, specially because in my article the autors said that those stones had manufacture and wear marks which it's indicative of the human transport of them.
