Detection of a construction deemed to be "Australian Stonehenge"
Stonehenge was built in 2000-2500 BC in Wiltshire, Salisbury, UK, is one of the most mysterious prehistoric monuments in the world. Scholars offer many theories about origin of Stonehenge as a burial place, ceremoonial site, a medical treatment site or even traces of aliens. Thousands kilometers from here, a construction known as "Australia's Stonehenge" is also a big mystery for scientists.
According to IBTimes, the construction located 40km from Mullumbimby, New South Wales. Was mostly damaged in 1940s, its precise location is kept to this day.
The first one recorded about Stonehenge replica in 1939 is the explorer Frederic Slater, former president of Australia Education and Archaeology Research Association. Slater has written many letters expressing his excitement with the discovery.
"The land is one of the oldest structure. I think this is the oldest form of temple in the world, existed from Stone Age with the first humans", News.com quotes Slater's notes. The explorer said this structure has even more important implications than Stonehenge.
The monuments area includes 181 erected stones, mostly sandstones which do not exist naturally in the region. Closest sandstone quarry is more than 20km from here. In condition of no suitable tools, the ancients was hardly capable of moving this lot of rocks. Stonehenge replica may also contain the first inscriptions of human language - a complex system of multiple layers consisting thousands words.
2015, Steven Strong and his son Evan, specialized in studying antiques begun to searching remains of the structure they believe to be 'one of the most important locations in the world".
"The letters of Slater was lost and has been recovered. We are seeking to prove his statement that the first human language was recorded here. It's a combination of hand symbols, characters, body parts... Slater has found more than 28,000 words of this language", the Strongs said.
