Stonehenge

Article Summary by: FAUSTOFABIOARAUJO     

Original Author: Fausto Fabio de Araujo
This abstract was translated from Stonehenge
Stonehenge, Amesbury, United Kingdom Construction of Stonehenge took place between ca. 3000 and 1600 B.C. With
each stone weighing around 50 tons, it is regarded as a truly amazing feat of engineering. Although it is not clear who built the monument, nor for what purpose, it has been speculated that it was either a temple dedicated to the worship of ancient earth deities, an astronomical observatory or a sacred burial site.
