Stonehenge, Prehistoric monument in Salisbury Plain, England
The circular structure consists of massive sarsen stones weighing 25 tons each, arranged in an outer ring with horizontal lintels connecting them.
Construction of Stonehenge occurred between 3000 and 1520 BCE, beginning with a circular earth bank and evolving through six distinct building phases.
The monument aligns with solar events, marking the summer solstice sunrise and winter solstice sunset through precise stone placement and positioning.
The site includes an exhibition center, guided tours, café facilities, and a shop selling educational materials and regional products.
Builders transported bluestone blocks from Preseli Hills in Wales, covering a distance of 240 kilometers using methods that remain unclear to researchers.
