New research by archeologists believe that ancient builders used 'ball bearings' to construct Stonehenge

When it comes to mystical places on Earth, few can rival Stonehenge -- the enigmatic stone monument sitting on the Salisbury Plain of southern England. And now comes a new theory that suggests the Neolithic builders who erected Stonehenge may have used ball bearings to move the giant stones into place.  Aligned in a circle and made up of 30 vertical standing stones -- called megaliths -- over 10 feet tall and weighing many tons, Stonehenge is believed to be somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 years old.  An archaeological study, the Stonehenge Riverside Project, suggested in 2008 that the original purpose of Stonehenge was as a burial ground.
