Stonehenge is an Ancient site of huge rock structures located in Wiltshire, England. 

Scientists and others have theories about how & why it is there. However, they are theories and speculation. Scientists know Stonehenge was created in stages. Construction was started over 5000 years ago (approximately 3000BC), and then added to at later dates. Stonehenge was built on sacred ground. Hundreds of people were buried around Stonehenge. There is scientific evidence explaining the age, size, weight of Stonehenge. It does exist; millions of people have seen it. Over the centuries there have been lots of theories: Aliens? Giants? Magic? A prehistoric race of highly intelligent humans? It’s a mystery of history.  

 

I find Stonehenge an interesting topic, because it is something that is historic and is has been physically intact for thousands of years. The mystery is no one really knows how or why it is there. Is it possible Stone-age man was able to not only move these massive rocks great distances, but that they could also plan and line the stones up in an accurate sundial? I would be interested in visiting Stonehenge one day.

      I would like to learn who made Stonehenge, who designed it and why. There is a great deal of research and findings to read, watch and explore. I would like to find out more information about what has been discovered, and what questions have been answered and which have not.
