Stonehenge

Who built Stonehenge?  Why did they build it?  How did they build it?  Why are the rocks in a circle?  How are they still standing?  Stonehenge is one of those sites that has been puzzling people for years.    There are many legends behind the huge circle of rocks but none of them have been proven.  Some say it was built for religious reasons.  Others say that some giants were dancing in a field one day and were turned into stone which is why the stones are in a circle.  What you believe is up to you but let's talk about what we know for sure about Stonehenge.  Stonehenge is about five thousand years old and one of the top tourist destinations in the UK.  The original structure of Stonehenge was believed to have looked like this all the way around with another smaller circle like this in the middle.

Today some of the rocks have kind of fallen down and some stones are believed to be missing but it's still in pretty good shape for how old it is.

When I went there I was really surprised at how big the stones were!  It made me wonder how on earth five thousand years ago someone could have put those stones on top of one another and why they did it.  Maybe some day scientists will come up with the answers to all my questions, but until then we will just have to keep wondering and coming up with more and more crazy legends that may very well be true.
