Stonehenge theories of old may be untrue as new discovery unfolded how the oldest settlement became the 'LONDON of the Mesolithic'. According to Daily Mail, Stonehenge theories of old are possibly untrue and that indigenous people have lived around the monument before they even built it.

According to an archaeologist, former Stonehenge theories may not be true. The archaeologist claimed that ancient Britons who used to travel far and wide goes to see pink flint, have feasts and tours of the area surrounding Stonehenge.

Experts at the University of Buckingham may have proven old Stonehenge theories as untrue. The experts have reportedly carbon dated bones in order to prove that indigenous people lived around the monument before they built it.

Daily Mail reports that Amesbury is the oldest settlement in Britain and it has been continually occupied since 8,820BC. Around one mile from Stonehenge at Vespsian's Camp, Blick Mead is where over 31,000 flint tools were reportedly discovered. This supposedly proves that the area was a 'visitor's centre'.

Stonehenge attracts around one million visitors each year and now archaeologists have revealed that old Stonehenge theories may be untrue. According to new insights, Stonehenge was 'the London of the Mesolithic', and even had an ancient 'visitor's centre'.

According to one archaeologist, Ancient Britons were drawn to Stonehenge to see the area's pink flint. Now, it is considered that there was a recognized community in the area years before the monument was built and that former Stonehenge theories may be untrue. Because of carbon dating of bones from giant bulls and boars discarded at Vespsian's Camp, Blick Mead, experts have proven that Amesbury is actually the oldest settlement in Britain and has been continually occupied since 8,820BC.

Archaeologists now believe the possibility that the communities that built the Stonehenge lived and worked in the area for around 3,000 years. They also claim that Stonehenge was made as part of an established settlement and not a monument in an empty landscape, as former Stonehenge theories claimed.

The possibility of the monument being built by European immigrants have also been ruled out, reports the Huffington Post. Experts now think that the former Stonehenge theories may be wrong and that the giant stones were positioned there by indigenous hunters and homemakers.

According to David Jacques who led the dig and a research fellow in archaeology at the University of Buckingham, the site "provides evidence for people staying put, clearing land, building, and presumably worshipping, monuments. The area was clearly a hub point for people to come to from many miles away, and in many ways was a forerunner for what later went on at Stonehenge itself. The first monuments at Stonehenge were built by these people."

According to Jacques, Blick Mead is was the first ever Stonehenge Visitor Centre, up and running in the 8th millennium BC. Former Stonehenge theories may not be true as "The River Avon would have been the A-Road - people would have come down on their log boats. They would have had the equivalent of tour guides and there would have been feasting," Jacques said.

The team of archaeologists reportedly found remains of big game and a massive amount of burnt flint from their feasting fires. The team has also discovered tools that suppose people have travelled to the site from the east and west, says Daily News & Analysis.

Dr Jacques also said, "It's unique to have people of that time come from so many different faraway places. The site and the Stonehenge areas were very well known places to visit for a very long time - the London of the Mesolithic."

Stonehenge theories of old may or may not be real, but clearly Stonehenge is and will remain a sight to behold.
