Stonehenge's massive stone slabs were slotted together just like 'ancient LEGO', according to conservationists. A rare picture of a giant stone at Stonehenge from above has revealed a series of slots and holes were used to join the monument - like an early version of the building brick toy.
The fascinating image shows an aerial view of one of the sarsen blocks, with markings similar to those of a mortise and tenon joint clearly visible.
Posted on social media by English Heritage, the accompanying caption states that the protruding lumps would have been used to connect with the holes - like Lego.
Stonehenge, located near Amesbury, Wiltshire, is estimated to have been built around 3,000 BC – thousands of years before the iconic toy blocks
