TORONTO, Canada (Reuters) -- Stonehenge is a massive female fertility symbol, according to Canadian researchers who think they have finally solved the mystery of the ancient monument in southern England.

In the arrangement of the stones, the researchers say they have spotted the original design: female genitalia.

The theory is laid out in a paper entitled "Stonehenge: a view from medicine" in an issue of Britain's Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.

"To the builders of the henge, the most critical events in life were birth and death," Anthony Perks, a retired professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of British Columbia, wrote in the paper, published earlier this year.

He noted there was no evidence of tombs built by the original builders.

"Of birth, we could expect little evidence. However, evidence may be there but so large as to be overlooked."

Viewed from above, Perks suggests Stonehenge's inner bluestone circle represents the labia minora and the giant outer sarsen stone circle is the labia majora. The altar stone is the clitoris and the open center is the birth canal.

"Could the outer avenue of Stonehenge...represent the way by which new life entered?" the article wondered, adding that when comparing "the layout of the henge with the anatomy of the human vulva. There is a distinct similarity."

Perks, who is traveling in England, could not be reached for comment.

The mysterious ancient monument on Salisbury Plain is recognized around the world for its circle of standing stones.

Perks said the ancient sacrificed child found at nearby Woodhenge bolsters his theory and said an excavation at Stonehenge could produce a similar find.

"In ancient societies, ideas of a dominant creator, a Mother or Earth Goddess, were widespread," Perks wrote.

"If ideas of Earth Mother originated with, or were shared by, the people of the henge, Stonehenge could represent, symbolically, the opening by which Earth Mother gave birth to the plants and animals on which the ancient people so depended.

"The henge would honor her for giving them both life and livelihood."

Scholars say Stonehenge, a World Heritage site, was built between 3000 and 1600 BC. For a time, it was used for ceremonial burials of local chieftains. Theories for why it was built range from a temple, an astronomy site, and a variety of spiritual and temporal purposes.

David Batchelor, an archeologist with English Heritage, which manages the prehistoric site, was hardly convinced by the latest speculation.

"I would be skeptical of that...but the Stonehenge people are entitled to draw whatever conclusions they wish. Some are more probable than others," he said.

"The only thing we can know with certainty is that we will never know why they built it. All we are left with is what has survived 5,000 years of time."

Note the Stonehenge baby Altar Stone tongue in the center, and the outer sarsen circle, Stones 1 - 30, the baby's mouth emerging through the Stonehenge birth canal mouth, both representing the same. The German dentist, Dr. Garry W. Denke (1622-1699), first proposed the theory in 1656. Many believe it proves Dr. Anthony M. Perks and Dr. Darlene M. Bailey's theory correct, because Stonehenge sarsen Stones 51-60 are also as smooth as ten (10) baby upper, or lower, teeth.

As a final note I might add that neither horses nor horsehoes were present in Neolithic times, therefore British (and world) archaeologists who describe the above as a horseshoe are wrong.

Someone posted a few days back that some peole think that stonehenge is where the Noah's Ark was built..I don't have the link to the site anymore, but it had facts, like it was the same dimensions mentioned in the bible for how big the ark was as well as a lot of other stuff.

The Stonehenge Phase I study of the outer elder circle, before the Stonehenge Phase II study of the inner (younger) circle. We are now at the Stonehenge Phase III development, which occured long after both Stonehenge Phase I and Stonehenge Phase II, for those who have not kept up with the review.

Guess again, Ravenlost, please keep up. Review at Stonehenge Phase III, when the center sarsen circle was built, being a long time after Noah's ark Stonehenge Phase I ship building. Thank you.

It was aliens. They did it!

The stones came from Wales and were dragged somehow to this open field in Southern England. I don't get the teeth thing considering that most people in that time lost their teeth before they were very old.

I saw Stone Henge several years ago and I am more convinced that whoever moved those stones thought that they had some sort of powers (after all it would have taken decades to move them). So it would seem to me that using them for special rituals whether it was sacrefice or whatever sounds more appropriate. There is the whole theory on the sun and summer solstice as well assoicated with the Stones.

I doubt if we will ever know exactly what they were used for but those people wanted those stones there very badly. That would not have been easy to do that many eons ago.

Some of them came from Wales, but not all.

Chronology of Stonehenge Construction Materials
[the first (1st) discovered by Dr. Garry Denke in 1656]

The oldest limestone sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Early Carboniferous Period, Arundian Age, calcium carbonates. The Early Carboniferous Period limestone sedimentary rocks comprise the first (1st) foreign construction material used by the Stonehenge builder. This material is approximately 340 million years old. These rocks are locally called the Birnbeck Limestone Formation (Stonehenge Whitestones).



The outcrop sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Late Cretaceous Period, Santonian Age, calcium carbonates. The Late Cretaceous Period outcrop sedimentary rocks comprise the first (1st) local [in situ] construction material used by the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 85 million years old. These rocks are locally called the Seaford Chalk Formation (Stonehenge White Chalk).

The volcanic rocks (oldest geologically) at Stonehenge are the Ordovician Period intrusive igneous diabases (dolerites), and extrusive igneous felsites (rhyolites) and tuffs (basic). The Ordovician Period igneous rocks comprise the second (2nd) foreign construction material used by the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 470 million years old. These rocks are locally called the Ordovician Volcanics (Stonehenge Bluestones).

The oldest sandstone sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Silurian - Devonian Period micaceous sandstones. The Silurian - Devonian Period sedimentary sandstone rocks comprise the third (3rd) foreign construction material used by the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 417 million years old. These rocks are locally called the Old Red Sandstone Formation (Stonehenge Coshestons).

The youngest sandstone sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Oligocene - Miocene Period silicates. The Oligocene - Miocene Period sandstone sedimentary rocks comprise the fourth (4th) foreign construction material used by the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 24 million years old. These rocks are locally called the Reading Formation (Stonehenge Sarsens).

Just wanted to pop in and say..."Welcome, Garry!" It is nice to actually see someone (besides my Mom ) with intelligence on here.

BTW, not pointing fingers, just my opinion. Not everyone is lacking but, those of you who are lacking where this subject is concerned shouldn't even have been posting here. Like I said just my opinion.
