The Altar Stone, sourced from northeastern Scotland, symbolises alliances formed over 700 kilometres away. Constructed during a period of cultural change, Stonehenge likely served both political and religious purposes. Its architecture reflects collaboration among ancient Britons, showcasing links between people, ancestors, and the cosmos. The findings reveal a dynamic history of cultural integration and underscore the monument's enduring significance.
