Stonehenge - Forever a Mystery

General Overview

The great and ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is one of the wonders of the
world. It's thought that the name Stonehenge originates from the Anglo-Saxon period - the old English word 'henge' meaning 'the hanging
stones". There is nothing quite like Stonehenge anywhere in the world and to
5.000 years it has drawn visitors to it. We shall never know what drew people here over the centuries or why hundreds
of people struggled over thousands of years to build this monument (the heaviest of
the stones weighs probably about 45 tons), but visitors from all over the world (over
850.000 people a year) come to marvel at this amazing feat of engineering.

Myths and Legends

Although great strides have been мейд in our understanding of the original purpose of Stonehenge we will probably never know its full significance, ..The aura of mystery has helped to generate many
myths and legends about the monument. As a speculation has gone on over the
centuries, a whole host of colourful stories has arisen - and the search for explanations
is still going strong today.
In the Roman period, it was believed that the British rebel Queen Boudicca had
been buried at Stonehenge, and that the mystical stone circle was built by the Druids to mark her tomb.
