【英语时差8,16】巨石阵之谜（下）

There’s one of the surprises. The Beaker Culture had its Bronze-age heyday¹ in the Alps, not in England. Researchers did chemical analysis of the remains³ and found that the archer² most likely came from what is now Switzerland. Next surprise? Another grave was found nearby, this containing a younger man. This fellow grew up in England, but an unusual foot bone shows he’s related to the archer–the archer, it seems, came to England and raised a family. Who was this foreigner who was treated with such reverence⁴? We won’t ever know for sure. His fame has disappeared into history. But the stone circle he may have built has never been forgotten, even four thousand years later.
