Stonehenge breakthrough reveals surprising path behind ancient stone’s 450-mile trek

Researchers from Curtin University traced the 450-mile journey of Stonehenge's Altar Stone, revealing it was carried partway by glaciers during the Ice Age and then transported by prehistoric humans from northeast Scotland to Wiltshire. The study combined geological analysis and ice-sheet modeling to show glaciers moved the stone as far as Dogger Bank in the North Sea, with humans completing the 250-mile leg to the monument's site.
