This 4,000-year-old wooden monument in England may have been built to ‘extend summer’
A fascinating new study unveils that Seahenge, an ancient wooden monument on the Norfolk coast, may have been constructed to mitigate harsh cold weather conditions. Archaeologist David Nance posits that this timber circle, together with a related structure, was created as a ritualistic endeavor to prolong summer and restore warmth. This innovative theory interweaves climate evidence with mythology, reshaping our understanding of this prehistoric site beyond mere burial grounds.
