There is an AP article via Yahoo today discussing that a Stonehenge skeleton came from Mediterranean. Tests on the adolescent's 3500 year old remains recently unearthed near Stonehenge show that the boy came from the Mediterranean. It isn't suprising to me that Stonehenge was impressive enough to attract people even during ancient times, I just wonder what the custom was. The image with the article indicates to me some form of ritual burial, which makes me think that he was likely traveling with a group of people that cared about him, or at least was burried by people that cared enough about the ritual to leave him his gemstone. Wish we had more information about the religious beliefs of ancient times.
