3. Stonehenge had a 3-mile radius to its own where no one lived there. They buried their dead there so it's the world of ancestors, spiritual plane of existence if u will
(Prediction: This might be how AC lore could be connected to how The Isu made a "temple" there)

4. There are 3 phases to Stonehenge's construction.
- Phase 1: The Henge, Aubrey Stones and the Heel Stone
- Phase 2: The Avenue (A road in b/w water and Stonehenge where they possibly carried the henges to its present-day location) & the Blue Stones (crazy origin story!)

- Phase 3: The trilithons (1 stone on top of 2) were built here over a millennium later!! Yes, it took that long!
These phases had multiple cultural & astronomical theories involved
