Some
five thousand years after the "birth" of the monument
we know as "Stonehenge" people still ask who built it, and
why it was built. We now know that the earth works were
started around the late Neolithic period, 3000 BC, and was
finally completed in the mid bronze age, 1600 BC. It has
been suggested that it was built purely as a temple of worship
while other state it was designed as an astronomical site
used as an observatory to plot the phases of the moon.
Other questions arise, like how were stone weighing up to 50
tons transported over twenty miles and then erected into
position to such precise dimensions ? You may want to make
your own conclusions, the pages on this site may help you !
