Photo. The Stonehenge mystery still goes on. © Travel Explorations.
A skeleton of a man from a shallow grave was recently found in the famous English monument Stonehenge from pre historical time. This exploration amazed the archaeologists because it shows that the man was executed. The man's head seems to be chopped off by a metal sword.
The angel for chopping, shows that the man was attacked from behind. The mark of the chop shows this clearly. This indicates that there was an execution. So far they know the victim was 1,65 metres high and he was in the thirties. The man had prominent teeth.
Use of metal swords dates the execution in time between 100 years before Christ and 1000 year after Christ. The exploration really surprised the archaeologists because they thought that Stonehenge was not used after 1500 years before Christ. They hope that a C14-dating soon will give them a more accurate time reference.
