The Stonehenge in United Kingdom

July 8th, 2007 by Shenron

Stonehenge is a monument that is located in the Wiltshire in England north of Salisbury, and it is one of the most famous human construction sites in the world, being erected over five thousands years ago with massive stones, and a construction period lasting for three thousand years, with evidence suggesting activity even earlier and somewhat later than the dates conclusively known.

The Stonehenge was constructed in about seven phases, or three phases with the third having five sub-phases. Recently restoration work has been underway, and early in the 20th century construction work was undertaken to carefully re-align some of the stones into their original positions. Currently Stonehenge is threatened by the A303 road upgrades that the British government wishes to upgrade, with a few plans that could drastically alter the surrounding area of the site and disturb archaeological potential of more information regarding what Stonehenge was constructed for, as there is no conclusive solution to many of the questions regarding it.
