Stonehenge=Cemetery (Maybe)

Stonehenge is one of the most mysterious places on Earth. A circle of immense rocks dating thousands of years old in the middle of a field in England just happens to attract a lot of attention! There are endless questions surrounding it, including: Why is it here? Who built it? How did they build it? And, of course, are aliens wielding ray guns going to land in the middle of it anytime soon? We hope the answer to that last one is no.

Anyway, a recent discovery may clear away at least some of the fog. Archeologists know that there are cremated human remains at Stonehenge, and radiocarbon dating shows that the remains date back from 3000 B.C to 2500 B.C, exactly the time period during which Stonehenge was being built. There are at least 200 people buried at the giant rock site, and researchers believe they all may have come from one very elite family. This may have been similar to the equally amazing pyramids constructed in Egypt, also as tombs for the elite.

But we still don't think people are giving up on the aliens.
