Smithsonian Channel to Air Stonehenge Doc

WASHINGTON, D.C., August
28: A new documentary that explores the meaning of Stonehenge is set to
premiere next month on the Smithsonian Channel.

Stonehenge Deciphered will air in the U.S. on September 27 at 9 p.m.,
while the documentary will premiere in the U.K. on the same day as part of the
BBC Timewatch series.

The program features
evidence from a recent Smithsonian Channel and BBC Timewatch-sponsored dig
within the inner circle of the monument—the first allowed in almost 50
years. British archaeologists Prof. Timothy Darvill, the University of
Bournemoth, and Prof. Geoffrey Wainwright, the president of the Society of
Antiquaries, share their conclusions.

Additionally, an article
about the program will appear on the cover of Smithsonian Magazine’s October issue and on Smithsonian.com.
