Stonehenge

Scott and I visited Stonehenge recently. This stone circle is believed to have been constructed between 3000 BC and 2000 BC. Explorations of the area indicate that this is not the first stone circle to stand here and have also revealed many burial mounds. Just the mechanics involved in moving these huge stones over some distance and erecting them so precisely is mind boggling. In fact, scientists have discovered that at least one of the rocks came from North Pembrokeshire, which is about 140 miles away! And, of course, the mystery of why they are here, and what purpose they served, continues!
