Stonehenge
near Amesbury
on Salisbury Plain, Wilshire

Awe-Inspiring & Mystical Monument
Built around 2600 B.C. and 2,400 B.C., Stonehenge is one of the most mystical and awe-inspiring sights in England...if not the world. The ancient stone monument is unique— nothing quite like it has been built before...or since.

Who Built Stonehenge?
Stonehenge is over 5,000 years old and theories still abound as to who actually built it. The first phase of Stonehenge pre-dates the Great Pyramids of Egypt. Some say it was built by the Danes, Romans, Saxons, Greeks, Phoenicians, Celts, Atlanteans, and Egyptians. Others claim that it was built by Aliens!

One of the most popular beliefs was that it was built by the Druids. Today, many scientists agree on the modern theory that three tribes built Stonehenge at three separate times — the Windmill Hill people in 3000 BC, the Beaker people in 2000 BC, and the Wessex people in 1500 BC.

There are two types of stones at Stonehenge — the larger 40-ton "Sarsen" stones which originated from Salisbury Plain and the smaller 4-ton "Bluestones" which are believed to have been hauled to the site (from the mountains of South Wales) before the larger stones.

Stonehenge is made up of more than 1,500 tons of rock. The largest stones are 23 feet tall and weigh more than 44 tons.

Durrington Walls —
The Largest Neolithic Village
Ever Found in Britain
In January 2007, an exciting archeological discovery took place at Durrington Walls, located north of Woodhenge, about two miles away from Stonehenge.

New excavations uncovered remains of what archeologists believe is an ancient village of the workers who erected Stonehenge.

The 4,600-year-old ruins appear to form the largest Neolithic village ever found in Britain. The houses at Durrington Walls date back to 2600 B.C. — making it approximately the same age as the earliest Stonehenge formation.

What is Stonehenge's Purpose?
Stonehenge still remains one of
the great mysteries of the world. Perhaps most amazing is the precision with which it has been built.

It is speculated that the site was an astronomical calendar. Others claim that it was a temple
or sacred site where sacrifices took place on specific days of the year. It has even been linked to the
Crop Circle phenomenon, UFOs
and extraterrestrials!

Whatever its purpose, a visit to Stonehenge is not to be missed!

Location
Stonehenge is located in the English countryside near Amesbury, on Salisbury Plain, in Wiltshire — approximately 90 miles west of London.

Calanais Stones
Outer Hebrides, Scotland

The 47 standing Stones of Calanais (or Callanish) are located on the island of Lewis, the northernmost
of the Outer Hebrides in Scotland.

The massive upright megaliths are more than 5,000 years old. The stones stand 15 feet high and predate Stonehenge. Scientists believe that the inner circle of 13 stones is aligned with the planets and stars.
