... Great aerial view of one the most famous ancient monuments in history... a place shrouded in mystery... because no one knows exactly how or why the ring was built for... with a history spanning 4,500 years Stonehenge has many different meanings to people today... it is a wonder of the world, a spiritual place and a source of inspiration... this site became world famous since its rediscovery in the 18thC and now over 1 million people a year walk among the stones... Thanks a lot Andrene!✿◕ ‿ ◕✿ ❤️Stay safe and take care of yourself and your loved ones!❤️
Stonehenge is a prehistoric stone circle monument, cemetery, and archaeological site located in Wiltshire, England.
It consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 4.0 m high, 2.1 m wide, and weighing around 25 tons. It was built in six stages between 3000 and 1520 BCE, during the transition from the Neolithic Period (New Stone Age) to the Bronze Age, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).
The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986.
