Stonehenge

Stonehenge Stonehenge-Structure and Mystique Stonehenge is a unique structure and the worlds most famous prehistoric monument. Over three or four centuries its mystique has framed and focused the investigation of the ancient past of Britian. Spectators respond to it, travelers and Druids worship it, people across the world know what it looks like, and often believe they know what it represents. Stonehenge’s structural mystique has fascinated civilizations for over two millenia, and is still doing so today. Stonehenge did not always looks like the stone monument that is standing today. Stonehenge was constructed in three distinct phases. The first phase called the earth monument stood somewhere between 2950 B.C. and 2900 B.C.. It was then replaced by the Timber Monument which lasted until 2400 B.C.. The final stage, the stone monument was constructed between 2550 B.C. and 1600 B.C.. During the first phase of the monument there were no stones at this newly developed henge. Around the encircling ditch with two strategically placed entrances in the Northeast and South directions.
