Question

Was stonehenge built by dark skinned people or white skinned?

Answer 1

white unless they topped up their tan

Answer 2

I think that should be a definite answer to this question because of all the preserved bodies that have found.

The iceman had lost his skin so no answer there.

This one doesn't say but maybe the skin is stained.

This one says, "Her skin is deeply bronzed with robust skin tone and all the body joints are preserved with overlying skin in a state as if she died a year ago, albeit slightly desiccated."

And this one is the right time period but doesn't say.

Answer 3

this CAN be answered with absolute certainty (this idea that it's all a big 'mystery' is not  correct--we actually know quite a LOT about Stonehenge!!)

  The first builders were neolithic farmers. They were a slender long headed caucasian people of a type we call 'mediterranean'. They would have had quite nice fine features and high cheekbones,and probably were dark haired. the average height for a man was between 5ft5-5f8 and a woman 5ft-5ft 3. If you want to imagine how they might have looked, perhaps a  traditional Spanish person might look similar (in fact the earliest inhabitants of Britain and ireland, whose dna is STILL the most prevalent in the UK even today,are closely related to the Basques of Spain.)

   Then at the beginning of the bronze age,there were a group of people (also caucasian)from around Germany and Austria known as the beaker people. they traded with the natives,disseminated ideas, and brought many cultural changes including additions to  existing ancient monuments such as Stonehenge.They were a much taller,stockier people with round sturdy skulls; it is not unheard of to find 6foot skeletons. They probably had as many variations to hair colour as we do today but may have been fairer than the earlier farmers.

   How do we know these  people built Stonehenge--well the farmers' cremated remains were found  in the Aubrey holes inside the henge, and the burial mounds of the beaker people (and later bronze age chieftains who were probably a blend of both peoples) are all over the nearby landscape (and there was a beaker man buried in the ditch terminal who might be a dedication burial.)
