Abstract

Abstract:This paper proposes a re-evaluation of Stonehenge’s construction as a rapid-cast industrial facility rather than a multi-generational manual carving project. We argue that the monument served as a high-security communal warehouse for food reserves (meat, grain, and fats). The technical evidence suggests the use of geopolymer casting (cold stone synthesis) based on a modular unit of 82.9 cm. This method enabled a 30-day construction cycle involving 80% of the population, facilitating the immediate storage of livestock processed from across Britain in industrial 60-liter vessels.
