Study shows Stonehenge Altar Stone traveled 400 miles from Scotland

A new discovery concerning Britain’s famous Stonehenge monument has stunned researchers.

Its Altar Stone - weighing an estimated six tons - traveled roughly 435 to 465 miles in ancient times from Scotland all the way to England's Salisbury plain.

New research published in the journal Nature was carried out by scientists at Aberystwyth University, UCL, Curtin University, and the University of Adelaide.
