10个终于被解开但仍耐人寻味的历史之谜(下)

A lot of people assume weve excavated the entire site and everything were ever going to know about the monument is known,” said historian Susan Greaney of English Heritage. “But actually, theres quite a lot we still dont know and theres quite a lot that can be discovered just through non-excavation methods.”

“很多人以为我们发掘了整个现场，并且关于这座历史遗迹所有我们该知道的都知道了，”英格兰遗产组织的历史学家苏珊·格里尼说，“但是实际上，我们仍然还有很多不知道的东西，而且有很多东西我们可以利用非开挖的方式来发现。”

That still leaves the mystery of what happened to the missing stones. Were they used to build houses or roads in the area? No one knows, but English Heritage may purposely avoid watering some areas of Stonehenge during the next dry spell to see if the answers to other puzzles emerge.

那些不见了的石头发生了什么仍然是个谜团。它们是否被用来在当地建造房屋和路面，没有人知道，但是英格兰遗产组织可能会在下一段干旱期有意识的避免给巨石阵的一些区域浇水，以观察其它谜团的答案是否会浮现。

There have been many theories to explain the lines, but most historians agree that the Nazca probably used them as sacred pathways when practicing their rituals.
