Professor Timothy Darvill, Head of the Archaeology Group at Bournemouth University, has breathed new life into the controversy surrounding the origins of Stonehenge by publishing a theory which suggests that the ancient monument was a source and centre for healing and not a place for the dead as believed by many previous scholars.

Professor Geoff Wainwright (left) and Professor Tim Darvill share the view that Stonehenge is a place of healing and not of death.

After publication of his new book on the subject - Stonehenge: The Biography of a Landscape (Tempus Publishing) - Professor Darvill also makes a cas. . .

Hello
 here's something I bet nobody is aware of but while doing armature research on sacred mount diablo in California,I discovered that indeed it is a sacred place and much more too." where light originates"," at the day"," a supernatural being that illuminates a land that was previously dark" ,are but a few of the names native Americans have given mount diablo,well here is something that makes the names make more sense that I discovered, if you were to stand on the top of mount diablo and watch the sun set on the summer solstice which is just a couple days away  at the moment the sun sets below the horizon which is roughly 5 minutes later then if you were standing at sea level ,at the same moment it sets and just the peak of the mountain was still illuminated by the setting sun, is the same moment it begins to rise at Stonehenge,or very close to it  ,reason is the two locations are 120 degrees apart ,the sun is at another 120 degrees around the earth and guess where that is? Mongolia say what you will but that's a fact,and believed by many to be the place of origin for the California Indians and many other tribes across the nation as well,so why is diablo sacred and why did they build Stonehenge? the Indians believe that there ceremonies are critical if they are to be in harmony with the universe and equally as important if there  ceremonies are to be successful then they need to be performed at the proper time, so there for the reason was so that everyone that left Mongolia would know when the proper time to perform there sacred ceremonies was that was taking place at that moment at the capital of there belief in Mongolia the capital of the oldest known religion,so all could remain in harmony and rhythm with the universe,Stonehenge was built by Mongolia that to this day celebrates solstice at high noon just where the sun happens to be when it is rising over the heal stone at Stonehenge on the morning of the summer solstice and where the last light of the sun is seen from the top of mount diablo in California now the home of decedents of the Mongolian people and now called native American Indians,its really not that hard to believe when you consider that millions of followers of Islam face the sunset every evening and address there prayers toward the capital of there religion mecca and have done so for a very long time,very much like the American Indian at solstice also have done for a very long time,

I don't know about domesticated mastodon, but there is growing evidence of European-North American connection about 13000 years ago.

Shows that there may have been a land bridge from northern Europe to Iceland-Greenland to what is now eastern Canada.
