Mysteries of Stonehenge - Bullet Point History

Stonehenge, a remarkable megalithic structure located on Salisbury Plain, is one of the most iconic Neolithic monuments in the world. Constructed in several phases between 2700 BC and 1600 BC, this unique site features a complex arrangement of bluestones and sarsen stones, with towering trilithons that reach heights of over 24 feet. The monument's astronomical alignments suggest it played a significant role in ancient rituals, possibly serving as a cemetery or a site for burial grounds. Its enduring mystery continues to inspire theories about its purpose, from a cultural icon to a healing site. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Stonehenge remains a testament to the ingenuity of its builders and their deep connection to the cosmos, embodying the rich tapestry of ancient rituals and cultural significance that define this extraordinary landmark.

the base of it was quarried from Scotland! its absolutely mind boggling considering the distance and the terrain, forest mountain ranges etc. it certainly makes us wonder if they used massive rafts or had some other unaccredited method of transporting these stones.
