Stonehenge Uncovered Premiere

Mysterious Monument

Stonehenge is an icon of prehistoric Britain, an enigma that has seduced archaeologists and tourists for centuries. Why is it here? what is its significance? And which forces inspired its creators? Answers remained to be seen.

Hosted and narrated by David Suzuki, the new season of CBC television The Nature of Things premieres Stonehenge Uncovered.

New Discoveries

For the Past for years, an international team has surveyed and mapped every monument, both visible and invisible, across 10 square kilometres of the sacred landscape to create a complete digital picture of stonehenge and the surrounding area through time. Known monuments have yielded more data than ever before, revealing hidden structures within; and new finds are revolutionizing the history of Stonehenge. Area map is also available in the program website.
