    Interesting article about the inspiration for the design of Henge


    "Music could have been an inspiration for the design of Stonehenge, according to an American researcher.

    Steven Waller's intriguing idea is that ancient Britons could have based the layout of the great monument, in part, on the way they perceived sound.

    He has been able to show how two flutes played in a field can produce an auditory illusion that mimics in space the position of the henge's pillars"
