] Some researchers have claimed the stone circles were ] used as a giant computer; others that Stonehenge was an ] observatory for studying stars and predicting the ] seasons; and a few have even argued that its rings acted ] as a docking pad for alien spaceships. ] ] Now a University of British Columbia researcher who has ] investigated the great prehistoric monument for several ] years has announced he has uncovered its true meaning: ] it is a giant fertility symbol, constructed in the shape ] of the female sexual organ. ] 'The archaeologist Jacquetta Hawkes once said that every ] age gets the Stonehenge it deserves,' added Miles. 'For ] example, in the 1960s, at the dawn of the computing era, ] researchers argued that you could use Stonehenge as a ] giant calculating machine.'
