Stonehenge, the world-famous circle of stone columns, may have had a brother, a much bigger, older brother.
Researchers of University of Bradford announced they had discovered about 100
stones covering several acres. They thought these stones had been built around 4,500 years ago. The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project discovered the monument, which is near Durrington Walls and also known as “superhenge”. Stonehenge, which is believed to have been completed 3,500 years ago, is about 2 miles away. “What we are starting to see is the largest surviving stone monument that has ever been discovered in Britain and possibly in Europe，” said Vince Gaffney.
The evidence was found under 3 feet of earth. Some of the stones are thought to have stood 15 feet tall.“Our radar data has shown an amazing row of up to 90 standing stones, a number of which have survived after being pushed over, and a large bank placed over the stones，” said Professor Wolfgang Neubauer, director of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology.
“In the east, up to 30 stones…have survived below，” he said. “The extraordinary scale and details of the evidence produced by the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project are changing greatly our understanding of Stonehenge and the world around it，” Neubauer added.
“Everything written before about the Stonehenge landscape and the ancient monuments within it will need to be rewritten，” said Paul Garwood, a scientist and lead historian on the project at the University of Birmingham. The findings were announced on the first day of the British Science Festival being held at the University of Bradford.

Getting around in Canada is fairly easy. Most cities have urban transportation systems, including buses, streetcars and trains, and some of the larger cities also have subways.
You can board the transportation at regular stops along the routes. Some let you pay in cash, others require tickets. If you don't have a ticket for the bus, you must pay the right amount of money. This is because the driver does not carry any change. Once you get settled, you may want to buy a monthly pass or a package of tickets to save money. You can buy subway tickets at the subway station.
If you have to take several buses or change subways on a single trip, you do not need to pay money each time. Simply ask the driver for a transfer, or pick one up from the machine on the subway platform.
If you are not sure where to board the bus or the streetcar, just ask someone, or follow the crowd. It's usually at the front of the bus, where you show your pass to the driver. When using public transportation, Canadians line up. First come, first served, is a common approach to many activities in Canada.
