An ancient road which led from the village to the River Avon was also found.Here,the experts think,people came after their parties to throw dead relatives in the water so the bodies would be washed downstream to Stonehenge.
Parker-Pearson believes Stonehenge was like a cemetery where ancient Britons buried the dead and remembered their ancestors.“The theory is that Stonehenge is a kind of spirit home to the ancestors.”
The recent discovery of the village within the Durrington Walls shows that Stonehenge didn’t stand alone but was part of a much bigger religious site,according to Parker-Pearson.
People still come to worship and celebrate at Stonehenge today.They meet there when the sun sets on the shortest day of winter and when it rises on the longest day of summer.But the days of barbecuing whole pigs there and throwing family members into the river are a thing of the past.
