LONDON (AP) \u2013 Thousands of tourists, pagans, druids and people simply yearning for the promise of spring marked the dawn of the shortest day of the year Saturday at the ancient Stonehenge monument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revelers cheered and beat drums as the sun rose at 8:09 a.m. (0809 GMT) over the giant standing stones on the winter solstice \u2013 the shortest day and the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere. No one could see the sun through the low winter cloud, but that did not deter a flurry of drumming, chanting and singing as dawn broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be less than eight hours of daylight in England on Saturday \u2013 but after that, the days get longer until the summer solstice in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solstices are the only occasions when visitors can go right up to the stones at Stonehenge, and thousands are willing to rise before dawn to soak up the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is all about renewal, rebirth, we\u2019re entering into the new year, and it\u2019s also a good time to acknowledge what\u2019s taking place in the year that\u2019s been,\u201d said civil servant Chris Smith, 31. \u201cThere\u2019s such a vibe. I mean, if you look around, you\u2019ve got everybody here, there\u00b4s such an energy in the space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The stone circle, whose giant pillars each took 1,000 people to move, was erected starting about 5,000 years ago by a sun-worshiping Neolithic culture. Its full purpose is still debated: Was it a temple, a solar calculator, a cemetery, or some combination of all three?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a paper published in the journal Archaeology International, researchers from University College London and Aberystwyth University said the site on Salisbury Plain, about 128 kilometers (80 miles) southwest of London, may have had political as well as spiritual significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That follows from the recent discovery that one of Stonehenge\u2019s stones \u2013 the unique stone lying flat at the center of the monument, dubbed the \u201caltar stone\u201d \u2013 originated in Scotland, hundreds of miles north of the site. Some of the other stones were brought from the Preseli Hills in southwest Wales, nearly 240 kilometers (150 miles) to the west,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lead author Mike Parker Pearson from UCL\u2019s Institute of Archaeology said the geographical diversity suggests Stonehenge may have served as a \u201cmonument of unification for the peoples of Britain, celebrating their eternal links with their ancestors and the cosmos.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
