STONEHENGE

 

Driving across Salisbury Plain in the South of England, you can see a group of stones in the middle of an enormous plain. When you get closer you see how extraordinary it is.

The main construction is a circle of huge stones with other stones on top of them. Around them there is another circle of stones. Who built it? How did they build it? When? Why?

People who have studied the position of the stones carefully think that Stonehenge may be a gigantic calendar, used to tell the time of the year by the sun. But nobody is completely sure.

Some authors think that visitors from another planet built it. The first author who wrote about it said that Merlin, the magician, brought the stones to England and used magic to place them like they are now.

Other authors think the stones came from Wales and the builders carried then on rafts up the river.

 Who knows the truth? Will the builders come again some day to tell the secret of Stonehenge?
