2SciFi: Stonehenge

On the same vacation to England and Scotland, I also visited the strange and well known Bronze Age Megalithic monument known as Stonehenge. It is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones and is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world.

Why it was built no one but the people at the time is sure why it was built. A legend says that the Wizard Merlin had a giant build the structure for him or that he had magically transported it from Mount Killarious in Ireland. Another says the devil was responsible. And some people think the construction was guided by a higher force, or Aliens.
A man named Indigo Jones says that the monument is a roman temple dedicated to the sky God Caelus. A lot of other people think it was built by ancient druids. Many think it is a calendar or something else that has to do with astrology.
The structure does have some connection with astronomical things:
"Stonehenge is aligned north east Ã‚— south west, and it has been suggested that particular significance was placed by its builders on the solstice and equinox points, so for example on amid summers morning, the sun rose close to the Heelstone, and the sun's first rays went directly into the centre of the monument between the horseshoe arrangement. It is unlikely that such an alignment can have been merely accidental."

Yes, scientists have claimed to see a large number of astronomical alignments, both lunar and solar. Some say it could have been used to predict eclipses.

Well if that is true, then the Neolithic people probably weren't as primitive as we thought they were. After all, archeologists did discover that they had brain surgery back then!

Stonehenge is shrouded in mystery, and many strange things have been said to happen there.
Well, one thing is that there are magnetic fields all around the place, which screws up a compass. And some say there are strange forces and energies. There have been numerous alleged sightings and reports of UFOs there. People have experienced hallucinations, and witnessed strange occurrences. I don't know how to explain these things; may be there are strange chemicals in the air that cause people to see things. Or may be the people just had too much to drink! Or perhaps these could just be real things.
Well, one fact I know, is that if you observe some of the stones, you will see what looks like a face on some of them!

Well, this 5000 year old structure sure must have some important purpose or significance! It’s fun to just think and wonder about this strange thing in the middle of nowhere in England. The world needs a good mystery!
