I wonder if this impact in 2200-2300BC was the reason for this guy being in England at that time (it would have gotten real cold in the north).... and maybe also inspired those folks to build Stonehenge.
Disaster That Struck The Ancients
The tree rings worldwide indicate a catastrophic event occured in 2354BC.

Still doesn't say what the purpose of Stonehenge might have been. Were they trying to attract sunlight to GB?

"...perhaps the builders prepared an "ise road" to slide the stones overland. Just a thought." Interesting thought.

Fascinating!
Studying teeth enamel to determine where an ancient skeleton had lived throughout its life is baffling.
I imagine that after his accident, the King of Stonehenge lost his mobility and was pretty much stuck close to where it happened for the remainder of his life. No more globe-trotting for him after being crippled.

"Studying teeth enamel to determine where an ancient skeleton had lived throughout its life is baffling." Yup, They used the same technique to determine that Otzi was an Italian.

This reminds of some other famous archers, the Tells. Not many people know that they were also avid bowlers. Unfortunately a fire destroyed league records. No one knows for whom the Tells bowled.

Since stonehenge was rebuilt at least 3 times in recorded recent history, the big stones stood back up, restacked and relandscaped for the tourist trade, how do we know that the original stones were in any such order to begin with? What I am saying is that we know that this is not a miraculously preserved construction but rather a reconstruction for at least the third time and we have no guarantee that the current formation is not quite different than that originally assembled. Since the configuration is not original, how can we possibly know what the original configuration was supposed to accomplish?

Not really. For example, it's obvious that this man is from England:

And even the most junior dentist can tell immediately that this lady is from Arkansas:

Isn't this about the same time as the Otzi mummy? Same culture, no doubt.
