Mini Model Of Stonehenge Reveals The Ancient Monument Once Sounded "Like A Cinema"


By all accounts, building Stonehenge was bloody hard work, with some of the monument’s enormous stones being transported over 200 kilometers (125 miles) from Wales to Wiltshire using Neolithic pulleys and raw muscle power. However, the ancient architects of this enigmatic landmark have reason to be proud of their efforts, as new research reveals that the henge boasted some pretty spectacular acoustics.

Led by acoustic engineer Trevor Cox, a team from Salford University have completed the equally impressive task of building a scale model of Stonehenge as it appeared more than 4,000 years ago. While this might not have demanded the same amount of brawn as the original structure did, it certainly required some brains, as the researchers had to recreate all 157 stones that once stood at the site, many of which are no longer there.
