4,000-year-old Dutch Sanctuary Unearthed, Resembling Stonehenge

Archaeologists have discovered a 4,000-year-old sanctuary made up of ditches and burial mounds in the central Netherlands that they believe may have served a similar purpose to Stonehenge. The sanctuary was built to align with the sun on the solstices and was as big as at least three soccer fields. The archaeologists also discovered offerings, including animal skeletons, human skulls, and valuable items such as a bronze spearhead, at the spots where the sun shone through the openings. The sanctuary must have been a highly significant place where people kept track of special days in the year, performed rituals, and buried their dead.
