Scientists have solved an enduring mystery (věčnou záhadu) about Stonehenge, determining (určit) the place of origin(místo původu) of many of the megaliths that make up the famed monument in Wiltshire, England, thanks to a core sample (stěžejní vzorek) that had been kept in the United States for decades.
Megaliths have puzzled (mást) the world for centuries but scientists have finally solved the mystery of the place of origin of many of the megaliths that make up Stonehenge and it is all because of a fragment of Stonehenge taken as a souvenir that had been sitting (trčet) in the United States for decades.
Stonehenge sits (nacházet se) in Wiltshire, England and new geochemical testing indicates ( ukazovat) that 50 of Stonehenge´s 52 pale gray sandstone (pískovec) megaliths known as assassins share a common origin about 15 miles away at a side called Westwoods on the edge of Wessex Marlborough Downs.

"The science behind it is fairly straightforward (jasný) in one sense because what we are doing is a simple case of fingerprinting. We are taking some stones at Stonehenge themselves and we are working out the geochemistry of them for that we measure all the little trace elements (stopové prvky) which are in the stone now sarsen (pískovcový valoun) is a really difficult stone to work with because it is 99 silica (křemen) and silica is a pretty ubiquitous (všudypřítomný) mineral. "
The American connection is over assassin core sample extracted during conservation work in the late 1950s when metal rods (kovový prut) were inserted (vložit) to stabilize a cracked (puklý) megalith which now has provided (poskytovat) crucial (rohodující) information. It was given as a souvenir back then to a man named Robert Phillips who worked for the company involved in the conservation work and was on site during drilling (vrtání). Phillips took it with permission (povolení) when he emigrated to the US in 1977. Phillips decided to return it to Britain for research in 2018. He died this year .Stonehenge is one of the UK´s most recognized (uznávaný) landmarks (památka) but their exact purpose still remains unknown to scientists.
