  • Riassunto

  • This episode covers the geology of Stonehenge. It has long been believed that the rocks of Stonehenge originated from both Marlborough, 25 km from the site, and Mynydd Preseli in Wales.

    However, a recent discovery by Anthony Clarke of Curtin University, has identified that the Altar stone, Stonehenge's centerpiece, may have come from rocks 750 km away in Scotland. We discuss this brand new research and how the rocks were transported such vast distances at least 1500 BC.

    We also discuss the construction and transportation of similar rocky wonders from Easter Island, the Moai. Such research is vital for showing the organisational skills and ingenuity of societies thousands of years ago.
