Stonehenge stones show scoop marks and trilithon parallels with Libya. Stonehenge is the only stone circle in Britain with shaped/carved stones rather than rough-hewn ones Some stones came from the Preseli mountains in Wales; tradition says Merlin brought them from Ireland (Killarus) or originally from Africa Scoop marks on some stones, also found in Egypt, Peru, and Machu Picchu, suggest possible geopolymer stone-softening techniques

Stonehenge is the only stone circle in Britain with shaped stones. Some bear mysterious scoop marks also found in Egypt, Peru, and Machu Picchu — possibly evidence of geopolymer stone-softening techniques! Matching trilithon structures appear in Libya. Wooden post holes from 10,000 years ago show the site was significant 5,000 years before the stones were raised.

  • Trilithon structures exist in Libya (Tripoli), matching legends of stones' African origin
  • Mortise and tenon joints on Stonehenge stones also appear in Libya and Tunisia, with associated giant traditions
  • Stonehenge's sarsen stones are hard sandstone, making scoop marks difficult to explain through conventional means
