Neolithic people moved Stonehenge's mysterious Altar Stone over hundreds of miles

When archaeologists explore ancient sites, they uncover fascinating traces of human history. Recent excavations in Pompeii have revealed the remains of a man and a woman who sought refuge in a small bedroom during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. The woman was found clutching a cache of earrings and coins. In Turkey, a team working on an archaeological site discovered a 3,500-year-old cuneiform tablet that could provide insights into Bronze Age society. Additionally, a study of Stonehenge suggests that one of its stones traveled a great distance from northeast Scotland. German astronomer Johannes Kepler’s solar drawings have helped solve a long-standing solar puzzle. The world’s largest iceberg remains trapped in the Southern Ocean, and researchers have found evidence of a water reservoir deep beneath the surface of Mars. Finally, scientists have uncovered new information about a supernova that appeared in 1181 and the existence of a “zombie star.”
