Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a famous landmark which is located in Wiltshire, England. It is believed that it was built about 4000 years ago. Stonehenge began about 5,000 years ago as a simple earthwork enclosure where prehistoric people buried their cremated dead.Some of the stones were brought from nearly 200 miles away. Scientists think that the stones were a way to tell the time of year and that nobody knows for sure how the stones were moved to Stonehenge.

The small and large rocks form a circle and it is believed that at certain times of the year the stars and sun line up with parts of the circle.Another theory is that the Irish sea Glacier brought the stones close to Stonehenge. Stonehenge is perhaps the world’s most famous prehistoric monument that was built  built about 5,000 years ago, and the unique stone circle was erected in the late Neolithic period about 2500 BC.
