Many archeologists believe that Stonehenge was an experiment, general wood structures that were common at the time on the Salisbury Plain and have been demonstrated for example in Durrington Walls, transferred to durable stone. Mike Parker Pearson and the archaeologist Ramilisonina draw up enthnografische parallels by which stood the wood for the stone for the life and death. They argue that Stonehenge was part of a long, ritual funeral procession road to the east at sunrise when Woodhenge and Durrington Walls started, on to the River Avon and then along the Avenue reaching Stonehenge in the west at sunset. Have been the trip from wood to stone across the water posed a symbolic journey from life to death dar. It had a people with great commercial power. But there is no evidence for the theory that Stonehenge astronomical alignments were more than just symbolic. Current interpretations, however, prefer a ritual role for the monument because of the many tombs in the area and its location in a landscape of sacred buildings of Stonehenge.
