If we want to discover one of the most ancient pieces of history that still exists on our planet, we have to go back a few good centuries. The days when Stonehenge was part of human life still remain an unsolved mystery, and even to this day, there is no clear verdict as to what the Stone Age really was. So, what was Stonehenge, and what is it today?
The Stonehenge Mystery
The iconic British stone circle was built around 3000 BC. To most, it looks like a cluster of rocks scattered on a piece of earth with not too much meaning; however, in ancient days, it was a lot more. Perhaps it was a calendar? Maybe a gathering spot for local BC residents? There is no proof to support any of these, so all we can do is stick to assumptions.
The Stonehenge Founders
These stones are not only big in size but are also very heavy in weight. Each one of these giant rocks can reach up to 25 tons. No one knows what the creators were trying to tell the world through this piece or who the creators really were. Where are the artists? Where are the engineers? Maybe astronomers?
It Is More Legendary
Stonehenge is more legend than fact. There are hundreds of stories behind this extraordinary place; however, unlike most stories in history, researchers have not been able to find any explanations for the structure, position, or meaning of these stones.
Celebrating Stonehenge
Every year, hundreds gather at Stonehenge and celebrate the sinking of the sun in this magnificent place. The visitors are spectacular, the overall atmosphere is breathtaking, and it’s as if time stands still. Visitors are transformed thousands of years back to the days of stone. It is an unsolved orchestra of stories, unsolved riddles, and ever-told myths.
For Ever An Untold Piece of History
If you visit the United Kingdom and decide to dedicate a day to this wonder, remember that you are not just looking at rocks. You are taking a glimpse of pure history, all packed into an untold mystery archeologists are still trying to discover today. It’s a place of mystery, magic and glam with nothing around, yet s much to tell.
