【英语时差8,16】巨石阵之谜（上）（在线收听）

Wizards and aliens aside, actual scientists don’t have much to say about Stonehenge-the ancient ring of rocks that hasn’t been said. That is, until now. Just recently, a four-thousand-year old gravesite was found within three miles of Stonehenge containing what some archaeologists think may be one of the original craftsmen. Even better than that, he isn’t British. The ancient bones are referred to as “the archer,” because, whoever he was, he was buried with several arrows. The fact that the grave is so close to the stones suggests that the archer was somehow connected to Stonehenge, as does the fact that he lived in 2300 BC, the same time when the monoliths were erected. Was he its founder, a designer, a priest? It isn’t clear. But the archer was an important person. Along with the arrows, he has copper knives, ornaments, and pottery. Several of these have been identified as coming from what archaeologists call “the Beaker Culture.”
