On the Salisbury Plain in England, Stonehenge stands as a testament to prehistoric ingenuity and mystery. This circle of massive stones, some weighing over 25 tons, was erected over 4,000 years ago. The purpose of Stonehenge has been the subject of speculation for centuries. Was it an astronomical observatory, a religious site, or a burial ground? Recent studies suggest it may have served multiple purposes, evolving over time. The precision with which the stones are aligned with celestial events hints at a sophisticated understanding of astronomy. As you stand among these ancient monoliths, you can feel the weight of history pressing down in ways that many find interesting to ponder over.
