Tilley and Stonehenge
Tilley, an archaeologist, studies ancient monuments and their cultural significance. Stonehenge, a prehistoric stone circle in England, dates back around 4,500 years and is believed to have served religious or ceremonial purposes, possibly related to astronomy or seasonal events. Its massive stones were carefully arranged, suggesting advanced planning and social organization. While the exact purpose remains debated, Stonehenge exemplifies prehistoric ingenuity and reflects the importance of communal rituals, aligning with celestial events. Both Tilley’s work and Stonehenge deepen our understanding of early human societies and their complex relationship with the landscape and cosmos.
