The Stonehenge Avenue (HD) - LiDAR Investigation

Описание: Title: The Avenue at Stonehenge: Ancient Roadway or Waterway? LiDAR Reveals a Forgotten Purpose

In this episode of Langdon Investigates, we revisit Stonehenge, not through its famous stones, but via the mysterious Avenue, the ditches and embankments stretching from the site to the River Avon.

Robert John Langdon challenges the mainstream view that this was simply a ceremonial processional path. Instead, using LiDAR analysis, he shows evidence that the Avenue was once a Neolithic and Mesolithic portage route, used to transport heavy bluestones and Sarson blocks via boat and cart.

🔎 Key insights:

The "Aubrey Holes" as individual healing baths

Bluestones chipped for medical use long before Stonehenge's stone circle phase

Posthole alignments and artificial mounds suggesting Neolithic mooring platforms

The Avenue’s asymmetrical ditch depth matches changing groundwater levels

Misidentified periglacial stripes and Stukeley’s 18th-century drawings revisited

Why the Avebury-like barrow path theory doesn’t match the original maps

This week’s investigation takes a common-sense, evidence-first approach, dismantling outdated archaeological assumptions and building a much wetter picture of Britain's prehistoric landscape.
