It’s commonly understood that some materials used in Great Britain’s most famous monument might have been quarried in Wales’ Mynydd Preseli region. But what if those stones weren’t originally-hewn for Stonehenge, but were transported there as “previously-used” and not “brand new”? This article and its source The Original Stonehenge? A Dismantled Stone Circle in the Preseli Hills of West Wales make that argument. Not to be outdone, Anna Fodor and Anna Kubista say the Czech Republic has Neolithic Structures Older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian Pyramids. They explain Jaroslav Ridky’s work on “roundels”–“large circular structures from the Neolithic period that have been found all over central Europe.” And as we read so often of the past, the two Annas conclude “we are left with more questions than answers” about the roundels’ creators. Closer in time and perhaps location we hear about the Largest Cave Art in North America Discovered in Alabama. Isaac Schultz summarizes the details and continuing mysteries of these fascinating finds from the cave, whose learned paper, like that of the Welsh wonder, was published by Cambridge University Press: Discovering Ancient Cave Art Using 4D Photogrammetry: Pre-Contact Native American Mud Glyphs from 19th Unnamed Cave, Alabama.
