This 4,000-year-old wooden monument in England may have been built to ‘extend summer’

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.
