Description
Stonehenge is aged at approximatly 3100 BC
Location Wiltshire, UK - Worship Lunar, Solar.....
Stonehenge is probably one of the most recognisable monuments in the world. The 5,000 year old henge monument became a World Heritage Site in 1986 and is managed by English Heritage. Despite years of research and study the reason behind the construction of Stonehenge remains a mystery. Stonehenge continues to amaze and inspire the many thousands of visitors who come to see it for themselves. The stones, as we see them today, were erected some 4,000 years ago, Despite their size, the inner ring of Bluestones came from Preseli Mountains in Wales and there have been many theories put forward to answer just how they were moved.
A few years ago, a group from Wales re-enacted one theory and attempted to move a bluestone from Wales to Wiltshire - but they were scuppered when the stone was transported by sea and the group's attempt ended up at the bottom of the Bristol Channel. Stonehenge is also known as the 'Giant's Dance' and the stones thought to be erected by Devil, while in the C18th people believed scrapings from stones could heal wounds.
People continue to wonder just why Stonehenge was built with some suggesting it was used as a giant astronomical observatory. Many worshipers come to draw on stonehenges magic, including new age dwellers and once the ancient druids.
