Simpler, older version of Stonehenge found three miles from famous site

Archaeologists have discovered a simpler and older version of Stonehenge located just three miles from the iconic Wiltshire site in England. This newly found structure, believed to be 5,000 years old, predates the famous Stonehenge and provides new insights into ancient astronomical practices. It was comprised of two posts that precisely aligned with the solstices of that era, indicating a sophisticated understanding of celestial movements among early inhabitants. This discovery significantly contributes to our understanding of Neolithic people's architectural capabilities, astronomical knowledge, and the ceremonial landscape of the Stonehenge area, suggesting a broader network of significant sites.
