| Video Discription | It's widely accepted that the 'bluestones' that make up part of Stonehenge have an origin in west Wales. This is in contrast to the sarsen stones which were quarried close to the monument. However, how the 'bluestones' made their way from Wales to the Salisbury Plain has long been debated. Many archaeologists argue for human agency. They have suggested that a Neolithic group quarried the stones in west Wales before erecting a stone circle nearby and then, eventually, moved them almost 200 miles to the Salisbury Plain to build Stonehenge. Several quarries in the Preseli Hills have been identified as being the origin of the 'bluestones.' Within the earth science community this hypothesis is not so well supported. It's argued that the 'bluestones' made their way east via glacier ice, possibly during the Anglian glacial episode around 450,000 years ago. A new paper written by geomorphologist Brian Stephen John and published in the E&G Quaternary Science Journal revisits this hypothesis. John analyses a large clast known as the Newall boulder that was excavated from Stonehenge. #ancienthistory #geology #stonehenge ✨ IN THIS EPISODE 00:00 Introduction 01:20 The ‘Bluestones’ 06:20 The Newall Boulder ✨ JOIN MY CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0Hs5t0U6Uf993Tba22YmKA/join ✨ SUPPORT VIA PATREON https://www.patreon.com/MegalithHunter ✨ FOLLOW ME ON SOCIALS Instagram & Facebook: @MegalithHunter Twitter: @Megalith_Hunter ✨ REFERENCES John, B.S., 2024.
