The latest study has confirmed that Stonehenge's Altar Stone, long believed to originate from Orkney, actually comes from the Orcadian Basin in northern Scotland.
New geological analyses have shown that the characteristics of the Altar Stone align with various locations but do not conclusively point to its being from Orkney.
This research adds complexity to our understanding of Stonehenge, particularly regarding the origins of its key stones, and opens avenues for further investigation.
The Altar Stone represents a critical point in Stonehenge's celestial alignment, making the question of its origin not just historical but also significant in archeoastronomy.
