Do you like mysterious places? If you do, plan a trip to one of the most mysterious wonders of the world, Stonehenge. Located in Wiltshire, England, Stonehenge was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986 and is one of the most famous landmarks in the UK.
Stonehenge is the most iconic archaeological site of ancient achievement and one of the greatest enigmas. It consists of a ring of massive stones standing upright. Two types of stones are used-the larger sarsen stones and the smaller bluestones. Plenty of speculations surround the stones about how would have been quarried and erected in precise position. It’s an aura of a mystery how and for what purpose was built. One theory is that Stonehenge is a holy site and spirit home to the ancestors. Some think that it was used for studying the Sun and Moon, others think that is was a place of healing, in modern days some argue that it was a spacecraft landing area for aliens!
Today, millions of people visit Stonehenge, especially on those rare occasions when they are allowed to enter this prehistoric stone circle, gathering to watch the sunrise on the summer solstice, a ritual that has endured for thousands of years.
