Mysteries Behind Stonehenge and its beauty (England)

Stonehenge is a medieval term meaning "hanging stones". Multi-ton stones were brought to the plains of Salisbury from great distances. Experts speculate that the stones could have been put on rafts, transported by the water and dragged on rollers. Researchers estimate that Stonehenge was used as a place of worship, even as the location for human sacrifices, others consider that the formation of stone used as an observatory to estimate the position of the sun and moon to the earth and determine the seasons. Unique artifact is estimated at more than thirty million hours of construction labor. As the mysterious ancient buildings, has long puzzled archaeologists, no one knows why this historic site was built, although believed to have started around 3100 BC and covers several centuries. Currently only half of the original monument which still survives, because for centuries, people take pieces of stone for building materials and souvenirs, but at this time of Stonehenge is a popular tourist destination. Mike Parker Pearson of Sheffield University, UK argues that Stonehenge was primarily a place for the dead, and should be treated as part of a larger complex of monuments from the surrounding area. Many human skeletons excavated from burial mounds nearby showed signs of injury or illness, and chemical analysis of the teeth revealed that they came from as far afield as Ireland, Wales and northern England, so the monument is a place of healing, perhaps people have the impression that This place can heal from their illness. Another theory assumes that it is an ancient observatory, used to mark the mid-summer, but others suggest that Stonehenge was used to predict eclipses of the sun and moon. Lionel Syms of the University of East London, argues that the building marks a fundamental change in society from hunting to agriculture, which is associated with a shift from month to worship the sun. In the case of Stonehenge can be used as a place of worship Moon. tonehenge is produced by a culture with no written language, but that aspect is still much debated, but there are many diverse theories that explain the origin of this beautiful monument. In other words, we do not know for sure, and possibly Stonehenge is a speculation.
