Evidence of Stone Age tomb found near megalithic monument known as ‘Sweden’s Stonehenge’
Archaeologists have discovered evidence of a Stone Age tomb near the site of a megalithic monument known as Sweden’s Stonehenge.
Remains of a burial site thought to be 5,500 years old were found near to Ale’s Stones, an arrangement of 59 boulders on a cliff on the Swedish Baltic coast.
According to local folklore the stones are the final resting place of a legendary leader known as King Ale, but other theories say it could be an astronomical calendar with the same underlying geometry as Stonehenge.
