Researchers Discover Stonehenge’s Amazing Musical Properties [VIDEO]

Granted, a portable radio or ghetto blaster would have been far more convenient than transporting rock all the way from Wales to build the phenomenal Stonehenge, but that probably wasn't an option in 2400 B.C.. Researchers have discovered the stones used to build the prehistoric monument may have been selected for their incredible musical properties.

A team of researchers from the Royal Academy of Art have learned that when the stones are struck, they produce sounds similar to bells, drums, and gongs. It is for this reason, researchers suggest, the builders used rocks from such a distant location some 250 miles away, rather than using the ample supply of stones found in the immediate region.
