Description
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument constructed from around 3000 BC to 2000 BC and located in Wiltshire, England. Stonehenge is composed of a circle of giant standing stones each around 4 meters high and 2.1 meters wide and with a weight of more than 25 tons and topped by connected horizontal lintel stones. What makes Stonehenge distinctive from other monuments is that the purpose of this monument remains a mystery, although many theories suggest it was a religious site, a burial ground, or an astronomical observatory. Stonehenge is a unique and important part of Britain's cultural heritage and a symbol of ancient Britain, attracting over 800,000 visitors per year.
