Archaeologists have discovered a circle of wooden pillars in Denmark Stonehenge from timber, considered by the late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age.
-
The site was probably used as a ritual land and a place to collect, and the tree pillars may have been brought to the sun, as were the Stonehenge stones.

More excavations and DNA testing will try to determine who built this circle and whether they are connected to object builders such as Stonehenge and Woodhenge.
Many archaeological discoveries are learned in the world with a simple incident, and construction workers in Denmark have added another major discovery to this list. During the construction of housing in the Danish city of Aars, workers have found a place reminiscent of the mysterious and emblematic Stonehenge.
The more excavations revealed the remains of wooden pillars, which were arranged in a circle that originally stumbled on the curator of the Veysthimmerlands Sidsel Wåhlin Museum. Together with excavation leader Andreas Bo Nilsen and his research team, the team concluded that the collection of wooden posts is the most probable ritual structure similar to the legendary Stonehenge and his neighbor, I woke upS
“It was an exceptional find,” Verlin said in a museum Press releaseS “The circle of timber gives us a valuable idea of the rituals and social structures of the late Stone Age [or] Early Bronze Age. It is a testament to the rich archeological heritage of Denmark and the close ties of Himerlane people with other areas and peoples in Europe. “
Made of at least 45 wooden pillars, placed two meters (6.5 feet) from each other, the whole structure has a diameter of 30 meters (about 98 feet) and is thought to be built somewhere between 2600 and 1600 BC it was built on what is already known to be sacred ancient land where rituals were performed. A similar wooden Henj, which was defined as a grave with funeral mounds, was previously found just over a mile north.
The recently excavated Danish site was probably built around the same time as Stonehenge, the purpose of which is still being discussed.
Many archaeologists agree that Sarsen The stones (which are also the largest stones) near the center of Stonehenge were aligned with the solar cycle. Thehe Heel In the northeast end, it is one of the most significant of Sarsessens – through the summer solstice the sun rises on the left, and the remains of another stone against it suggest that the couple may have been intended to capture the sunrise between them. The winter solstice was greeted by Altar stoneWho has fallen on it since.
Like Stonehenge, this newly opened wooden ritual site is also arranged in accordance with the sun. And potentially both may have served as places to collect locals and tired migrants. The new discovery suggests that Henges may have been widespread social and ritual sites across Europe. Nielsen and Wåhlin now plan to excavate the site further and search for artifacts used for construction or rituals such as peaks and arrows.
Archaeologists will also test for DNA to see if there is a genetic connection between the AARS and Henges builders in England – some of the YutiWho inhabited this region during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, migrates to the current UK and may have contributed to both collections of sites.
“Excavations are a thorough process and we are excited about the find,” Nielsen said in Press releaseS “The circle of timber is a window in the past, which gives us an idea of the ceremonial and ritual activities of our ancestors.”
