Coordinates: 51°10'43”N 01°49'34”W
The most famous megalithic formation in the world, located ca. 10 km North of Salisbury, England.
The true meaning of these stones has been lost in the mists of the past. Was it a temple, a burial site or just a huge calendar? The answer to these questions is not an easy task. But perhaps we should't ask what was that, but why it was built? For what reason? What made our ancestors build Stonehenge in a first place? Whatever to say, some of the stones, blue stones, were transported from 240 miles distance. And some of them weight up to 4 tons. That's huge logistic problem, even now. So why have the builders decide to "import" blue stones? Why blue stones was so important to transport them from that distance?
We may ask another question. Who exactly built Stonehenge? And when? Stonehenge as we know it was not erected during one day. The construction took hundreds of years! And who was behind the plans? Someone must have a kind of a project. That kind of a structure did not come up spontaneously. Who was it? A god or an alien pretending to be a god?
