Stonehenge mystery:'Superhenge' megaliths believed to be Neolithic ritual site

A row of 90 megalithic stones was discovered buried under Durrington Walls near Stonehenge. These stones, believed to be sarsen stones, were found using ground-penetrating radar. Originally, they might have stood vertically, marking a ritual route. Over time, they were deliberately toppled, and a bank was built over them, forming a C-shaped monument facing the River Avon. This structure was later reshaped into Durrington Walls, a circular enclosure aligned with the summer solstice, similar to Stonehenge. Nearby, Woodhenge is thought to represent the land of the living, contrasting with Stonehenge's realm of the dead.
