The Archaeological Site of Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in England, consisting of massive stone circles and lintels arranged in a precise pattern. Built around 3000–2000 BCE, it is believed to have served as an astronomical observatory, religious site, or ceremonial gathering place. The site demonstrates advanced construction techniques for its time, involving transportation and precise placement of huge stones. Its purpose remains partly speculative, but it holds great cultural and historical significance, reflecting the ingenuity and spiritual life of prehistoric peoples. Today, Stonehenge is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting researchers and visitors interested in ancient history and architecture.
