Stonehenge: Old rocks, new theories Julian Richards
Event details
For centuries Stonehenge has been the subject of fascination and speculation, spawning countless theories about its origins and purpose. But, over the last century, excavations and the development of new analytical techniques have enabled a far greater understanding of this enigmatic monument.
Archaeologist Julian Richards will explore Stonehenge's 'old rocks' and the theories that have emerged from newly available information. As science tells us that its component stones come from even farther flung parts of the British Isles, how should we now view Stonehenge, the greatest achievement of our prehistoric ancestors?
