Stonehenge can be found in England. In the county of Wilshire.

Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric places in the world. This ancient circle of stones stands in South west England. It is made with massive blocks of stone up to 4 meters high. Why it was built is mystery. Also people are not sure by whom exactly it was built and how it was done.

The complex of Stonehenge was built about 4000 years ago. It is suggested that it could be built by Danes, Romans, Saxons, Greeks, Egyptians, Celts, Druids and even Aliens. But still there is now true answer. It is a secret of history. Archaeologists are trying to find the origin of this construction, but come to absolutely different conclusions.

Moreover, the stones Stonehenge was stones built of were taken from the place more than 200 kilometer far from the construction. Taking into consideration that each stone is about 6 tons in is impossible to suggest any proper technology of that time to satisfy such a need of transportation.

So, who could build it – druids, aliens? Or, maybe Merlin, the legendary wizard? There is a legend that Merlin helped the king to build Stonehenge in memory of killed Britons.

There is place magic and mystic about Stonehenge. Astrologists say the construction serves to explore the Sun and Moon cycling. Romantic people say it was built in memory of the great battle people with mystic views insist it was constructed for ritual needs.
