The recent study reroutes the Altar Stone’s journey, proposing that it originated from the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, complicating the stone's historically accepted provenance.
Rob Ixer described the results as genuinely shocking, highlighting the implication of the stone’s journey covering at least 465 miles over land or 620 miles by coastline.
The findings raise pivotal questions about the transportation methods and motivation behind moving such a significant megalith across a vast distance in ancient times.
While Stonehenge is known for its sarsens and bluestones, this discovery emphasizes the complex origins and logistics involved in the monument's construction and history.
