A professional puzzle inventor has solved what he considers the oldest riddle of them all - Stonehenge. Bruce Bedlam, 56, has built a scale model of the ancient stone circle as he believes it was originally constructed - as a round building.
He believes that the Wiltshire monument was created with a large, domed roof made from wood and covered in wooden tiles.
Bruce believes the sitting was significant and the sun would enter the interior at every solstice through one of the ten doors.
The enormous interior would have been illuminated at various times of the day and every part of the building was correlated around the number three.
The theory suggests that beams were used to create a roof that came to a point above the monument.
They were held together in place by gravity and the shape would have been acoustically perfect, according to Bruce.
He believes it was more of a government building than a religious one and would have been where important decisions were made.
