Stonehenge
The reading passage and the lecturer discuss Stonehenge. More specifically, the passage presents 3 arguments evidencing that the site was constructed for funeral matters, meanwhile, the professor believes otherwise.
To begin, the author claims that Stonehenge was a burial site, due to the fact that researchers found fragments of bones during excavations. However, the professor disagrees completely, therefore people had known the existence of the fragments for hundreds of years ago. In fact, the discovery of the fragments does not indicate that the site was constructed to be used as a burial site.
Additionally, the reading passage states the presence of blue stones. It suggested that they are associated with burial rituals, which helps to defend the hypothesis of the burial site. Nevertheless, the lecturer points out that the real purpose of the bluestones is not clear. Some scholars believe that bluestones were used as a magic weapon for healing. Thus, the site could be constructed not as a burial site, but as a healing site, and the fragments found were from the people that could not be cured.
Finally, the passage suggests that the discovery of a mace represents a burial ritual of a high-ranking person, possibly for a political leader, thereby the excavators also found incense and other objects used on a funeral ritual. On the contrary, the professor believes that the mace is not a piece of accurate evidence to believe that Stonehenge was used as a funeral site. In fact, the excavators not only found a mace but also another sort of objects that does not indicate that this specific place was constructed with the purpose of a burial spot.
In conclusion, the author presented diverse evidence to support his or her hypothesis, but the professor challenges each of his or her arguments.
