(ORDO NEWS) — Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England. It is a circle of large standing stones that have been placed within earthworks. The stones are thought to have been erected between 3000 and 2000 BCE, although the exact date and purpose of the monument is still the subject of much debate among researchers and scientists.
The stones at Stonehenge are thought to have been brought to the site from as far as 150 miles away. They are believed to have been erected using a combination of manual labor and complex engineering techniques.
The most widely accepted theory is that Stonehenge was built in several phases, with the earliest phase consisting of a circular ditch and bank, and the later phases involving the erection of the standing stones.
The purpose of Stonehenge is not known for certain, but it is thought to have been used for religious or ceremonial purposes. Some researchers believe that it was used as a place of burial, while others think it may have been a place of healing or a site for astronomical observations.
Many theories have been put forth over the years, but the exact purpose of Stonehenge remains a mystery. It is considered to be one of the most important prehistoric monuments in Europe and continues to be a source of fascination for people all over the world.
It’s worth noting that Stonehenge is considered a sacred place for many people, including the contemporary druidic community, who hold ceremonies at the site, and it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage site.
