These stones weighed 4 tons, the axes found in Stonehenge and other tools found by the archaeologist at the time of research were also made from these stones!Exploration at Stonehenge discovered 75 huge sandstones.  It is believed that these stones may have been brought from an area 20 miles away from Avebury Then these stones were carved without any modern technology and installed on a slope of 18 inches.

New Expedition at Stonehenge.

Under this project, new information has also been received about the Dorrington wall near Stonehenge. According to the scientists, it is believed to be of civilization 4300 years ago. This was the same time when Stonehenge was built, according to research, there is a circle of stones of 3 meters around it. There was also a huge cemetery here and there were mounds on some graves. The road to Stonehenge was also built from here. This site was discovered with ground radar technology. It is actually much bigger than stonehenge and given its antiquity, it was named superhenge. The walls of Superhenge are of heavy stones and many of its remains and stones are still under the ground.
