A recent study has confirmed the existence of 16 massive pits dug around Stonehenge over 4,000 years ago. These pits, arranged in a circle spanning over two kilometers, are thought to have served a ceremonial or symbolic purpose, possibly marking territory or guiding celestial observations. Researchers analyzed sediment cores and archaeological data to precisely date the pits to the Neolithic period. This discovery sheds new light on the sophisticated knowledge and complex social structure of the people who built and used Stonehenge, suggesting a more extensive and purposeful landscape than previously understood.
