Stonehenge has been a mystery for centuries, but scientists may have just cracked the code! New research suggests that this ancient stone circle wasn’t just a random monument—it was actually used as a giant solar calendar. The arrangement of the stones aligns perfectly with the solstices, helping early people track the passage of time. This means Stonehenge may have been an advanced tool for marking seasons, guiding agriculture, and even planning festivals. It’s incredible to think that people over 4,000 years ago built something so precise without modern technology! So, was Stonehenge just a clock, or did it have an even deeper meaning?
