5,000-year-old Stonehenge prototype with solstice alignment discovered

Archaeologists have uncovered a 5,000-year-old structure near Stonehenge in Wiltshire, U.K., that is believed to be an early prototype for the monument's solar alignment. The site at Bulford, dating to around 2950 BC, predates the famous stone circle's alignment by approximately 500 years. Evidence suggests prehistoric communities were already using astronomical observations for solstice ceremonies, indicating deeper roots for Stonehenge's traditions. AI
