Stonehenge and Megalithic Structures Construction

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in England, consisting of a ring of standing stones. It was built during the Neolithic period, around 3000 to 2000 BCE, when societies began transitioning from nomadic to settled farming lifestyles. Megalithic structures like Stonehenge, often made of large stones, served various purposes, including religious rituals, burial sites, and astronomical observatories. Their construction likely required organized labor, advanced planning, and knowledge of engineering, reflecting the complexity and social organization of Neolithic communities. Stonehenge remains a symbol of humanity's early monumental architecture and communal effort.
