DID STONEHENGE HAVE
EGYPTIAN ORIGINS?
The Excavators Plan To Find Out Soon
London,
The Ministry of Works plaas for raising one of the fallen megaliths of Stonehenge have revived the theory among some research centres that the famous monument on Salisbury Plane may have had Egyptian origins.
The plans aim at raising one of the glot stone slabs of more than 22 feet long which has laid there for centuries and re- erecting a trillthon. This will involve the raising of three other stones which fell on top of it. Experts expect this work will give some indication of the origin of Stonehenge which is belloved to date back to be tween 2,000 and 1,800 B.C.
The Trout That
Travelled
Recent research at Blonehenge ! • A trilthon consists of two revealed carvings on the giant upright stones or megalith stone slabs which experts said carrying a horizontal slab on belonged to a date not later top. than 1,475 B.C. and excavations showed that beneath the presen! monument were originally double dreje of bluestones with a date of about 1,700 B.C.
