Stonehenge designed by a Swiss guy?


Archeologists studying the remains of a wealthy archer found in a 4,000-year-old grave exhumed last year near the renowned landmark said Monday he was originally from the Alps region, probably modern-day Switzerland, Austria or Germany.

Tests on the enamel of his teeth revealed he was born and grew up in the Alps region.

"Different ratios of oxygen isotopes form on teeth in different parts of the world and the ratio found on these teeth prove they were from somebody from the Alps region," said Tony Trueman from Wessex Archeology.

What does this mean?

It adds to the growing evidence of communication between ancient people's worldwide.

It suggests that rather than a local cult thing, the purpose of Stonehenge is far more important.

Perhaps the location of Stonehenge is deliberate, and not "just because that's where they lived..."
