Mystery Of Stonehenge Possibly Revealed

For decades and in fact even centuries scientists and historians have been debating over what the famous site in England known as Stonehenge was built and used for. The latest theory suggests that it may have possibly been a site dedicated to healing the sick. The site has been dated to about 2300 B.C. and is surrounded by an unusual number of skeletal remains that are dug up from time to time by archeologists who work at the site. The skeletons that are recovered often show signs of having been diseased or physically injured. Two skulls that were recently uncovered scientists believe actually show signs of having had some kind of primitive surgery performed on them. The commonality and consistancy of finding remains that are in that condition has lead researchers to consider that Stonhenge may have been a place for ailing people to go and seek to be cured of their ills.
