Mystery
surrounds this 5,000 year old World Heritage Site. As old as the
pyramids in Egypt, was Stonehenge designed as a place of sun worship,
or as part of a huge astronomical calendar? Each monument was a
circular structure, aligned with the rising sun at the solstice.
Erected
between 3,000 BC and 1,600 BC, the stones were carried hundreds of
miles over land and sea, while antlers and bones were used to dig the
pits that hold the stones. An awe-inspiring family visit, Stonehenge
is a powerful reminder of the once-great Stone and Bronze Ages. |
