Using special radar measuring equipment, they were able to locate rocks in the ground without having to excavate them. In the course of the explorations more and more rocks were discovered until it was clear that this was a very significant discovery.
Result Was Presented At A Meeting Of Researchers
In the English city of Bradford, the results were now presented at a meeting of researchers. It is assumed that the discovered stones have been there on the earth for about at least 4,500 years. The researchers found about 100 stones, some of which were more than four and a half meters tall. It is not yet clear why these stones were erected there. But it is believed that Stone Age people built a ring of rocks there.
