Why Visit Stonehenge ? What we do know about Stonehenge.
Now take a breath... Stonehenge is estimated to have taken 1500 years to build ! Think about that just for a moment. Again it's estimated to be built a 1000 years before the great pyramids in Egypt, around 2500 BC !
Our ancestors at the time didn't have wheels or metal work. Maybe we are told a bow and arrow, flint knives, spears and fire.
So why take on a massive project of building Stonehenge over a 1000 years. It's like starting a building in Viking times, through William the conqueror in 1066 and only finishing now in 2024.
Plus, and I personally can confirm this, (After taking a professor of astronomy on a tour to Stonehenge) the site is perfectly aligned in the direction of the sunrise of the summer solstice and the sunset of the winter solstice. Also Stonehenge's latitude to the Great Pyramid and Equator is perfect.
Remember they only had flint as a tool ! The mind boggles and Stonehenge asks more questions than it answers.
On top of that within a couple of miles of the site is more than 400 burial mounds, called "barrows". It was very important it seems to be there, even after death.
So should you visit Stonehenge ? .... 100% !
