An article in The Guardian newspaper describes the discovery of an important archaeological site in England. This site, called 'Bluestonehenge', is located less than two miles from the famous site of Stonehenge. Its name is due to the important similarities that exist between these sites: for example, the circular pattern of stones, the great antiquity of the remains (about 2400BC approximately), its proximity to the River Avon, among other. However, a more particular feature of Bluestonehenge is the blue color of the stones of its buildings, unlike the gray color of the stones of Stonehenge.
According to the researchers, Stonehenge and Bluestonehenge have been part of the same complex ritual, being connected at the time of the performance of rituals and religious ceremonies. For archaeologists, the discovery of Bluestonehenge allow greater knowledge about the type of religious beliefs that were the inhabitants of the Neolithic in England. Moreover, the study of Bluestonehenge allow a better understanding of the use of Stonehenge and the reasons they would have been the prehistoric inhabitants to build these large stone structures. In other words, these studies will allow a better understanding of the lifestyle of some of Europe's oldest inhabitants, the ancestors of today's British.

Very interesting, Miguel.
ResponderEliminarWhy does your post say, "Jueves 15..." Today´s date is the 13th. And remember that your blog´s layout has to be in English.
Anyway, the sentence "Moreover, the study of Bluestonehenge allow a better understanding of the use of Stonehenge and the reasons they would have been the prehistoric inhabitants to build these large stone structures," is unclear. Can you try to reformulate it, pls.
You get 2 points.
