Ancient Dorset Site: Stonehenge's Mysterious Predecessor?

A newly discovered prehistoric burial site in Dorset, England, has been dated to 3200 BC, significantly predating Stonehenge.

Known as the Flagstones monument, this circular enclosure presents a fascinating challenge to the established timeline of Neolithic Britain.

The similarity between Flagstones and the earliest phase of Stonehenge suggests a potential influence or even a direct connection.

This discovery could radically alter our understanding of the development of monumental architecture and burial practices in this era.
