Theory+4

=A Place of Healing=

=Another theory is that Stonehenge was the Lourdes of its day, with people flocking from far and wide thinking that it could cure them of their sickness. Many human remains excavated from burial mounds nearby have shown signs of injury or illness, while chemical analysis of teeth have revealed that they came from as far afield as Ireland, Wales, and northern England.=

=Further evidence of Stonehenge as a place of healing is taken from the excavation of some of the burial sites found nearby. A number of the remains studied show evidence of the deceased person having some type of physical deformity or evidence of an injury, such as a fracture. These people may have come to Stonehenge to seek healing.= = = =Reference:[|http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14011-five-theories-about-stonehenge.html]= =[] =
