Stonehenge - the History and the Mystery
Manage episode 350077802 series 2990772
For our December episode, we are at Stonehenge for the winter solstice. We investigate the mystery of Stonehenge’s little-known neighbouring sister Woodhenge - was it once home to the largest “city” in the world? We hear about the strange legend of the Cuckoo stone.
We find out how – 4,500 years ago - the first stones at the henge were dragged 180 miles from Wales. We tell the story of how the first metalworker in Britain came to be buried near the henge, and find out how to dowse the mysterious lay lines that run under the great monument. Are the initials of Britain’s most famous architect inscribed into the monument? We wait with the druids, wiccans and witches for the winter solstice.
