Calling all young historians and budding archaeologists – we\u2019re off to investigate the mysteries behind a perplexing prehistoric puzzle! Up for joining? Then check out our fascinating Stonehenge facts\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is Stonehenge?<\/h2>\n

\"Stonehenge<\/a><\/p>\n

Found on England\u2019s Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire<\/strong>, Stonehenge is a huge man-made circle<\/strong> of standing stones. Built by our ancestors over many hundreds of years, it\u2019s one of the world\u2019s most famous prehistoric monuments<\/strong>\u2026 And one of it’s biggest mysteries, too!<\/p>\n

When was Stonehenge built?<\/h2>\n

Work started on this super stone circle around 5,000 years ago<\/strong> in the late Neolithic Age<\/strong> \u2013 but it took over 1,000 years to build, in four long stages! Archaeologists believe the final changes were made around 1,500BC, in the early Bronze Age<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"If<\/a><\/p>\n

The structure of Stonehenge<\/h2>\n

If you visit Stonehenge today, you\u2019ll see many of the enormous stones<\/strong> still standing strong in a circular arrangement. Archaeological research shows that the structure of this amazing monument changed over time, as it was built and rebuilt by generations of ancient peoples.<\/p>\n

\"Stonehenge<\/a><\/p>\n

4,000 years ago, Stonehenge was made up of an outer circle of 30 standing stones called \u2018sarsens<\/strong>\u2019, which surrounded five huge stone arches<\/strong> in a horseshoe shape. There were also two circles made of smaller \u2018bluestones<\/strong>\u2019 \u2013 one inside the outer circle and one inside the horseshoe \u2013 as well as four \u2018station stones<\/strong>\u2019 positioned outside the central monument. The entire site was surrounded by a circular ditch and bank, which also remains this day!<\/p>\n

How was Stonehenge built?<\/h2>\n

\"Stonehenge<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a question that has baffled people for centuries – and even to this day, no theory has been proven! How could people thousands of years ago have transported and arranged such colossal stones?<\/p>\n

A legend from the 12th<\/sup>\u00a0century claimed giants<\/strong> placed the monument on a mountain in Ireland<\/a>, before a wizard named Merlin<\/strong> magically moved it to England. It\u2019s a shame they didn\u2019t really<\/em> have a wizard to help them \u2013 they could have done with the help…<\/p>\n

The lighter bluestones weigh about 3,600kg<\/strong> each (that’s the same as two cars!), while the bigger sarsen stones <\/strong>each weigh a whopping 22 tonnes<\/strong> \u2013 that\u2019s as heavy as four African elephants<\/strong>! Archaeologists believe that the sarsen stones were hauled to the site on big wooden sledges from 32km away, but the bluestones have been traced to rock outcrops 225km away in Wales! It\u2019s thought they could have been dragged on sledges to a waterway and then floated on rafts to the building site.<\/p>\n

Shaping the stones would have required hundreds of hours of hard graft with stone hammers and chisels. But how were the ginormous boulders lifted to their standing position? Well, it\u2019s thought that first, the builders dug deep ditches<\/strong> for the base of the boulders. They then used ropes and strong wooden poles and frames to raise them up, before packing the ditches with rocks and rubble to hold them in place. And voil\u00e0\u00a0– job done!<\/p>\n

What was Stonehenge used for?<\/h2>\n

\"Stonehenge<\/a><\/p>\n

Once again, no one really knows for sure. But the stones themselves give us a few clues, which have given rise to many different theories\u2026<\/p>\n

Each year, on 21 June (the longest day of the year), the sun always rises over the Heel Stone<\/strong> at Stonehenge – a single large sarsen stone which stands outside of the main monument. And the sun always sets over the Heel Stone on the shortest day of the year. Therefore, researchers believe that Stonehenge may have been a \u2018calendar<\/strong>\u2019, linked to the study of the stars.<\/p>\n

Other theories suggest that the site could have been a place of healing<\/strong> where sick people flocked in hope of being cured by the monument\u2019s miraculous powers. Others think the site may have been a kind of Stone Age \u2018computer\u2019 that credited solar or lunar eclipses – or a temple to the sun or moon gods<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But one thing is for sure – Stonehenge was used as a cemetery<\/strong>. Experts estimate that about 200 people are buried on the grounds. They also think that important funeral ceremonies would have been performed at the site – though why the dead were laid to rest there, no one knows\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

Did you know…?<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong><\/em>Each year, around 20,000 people gather at Stonehenge to celebrate the Summer Solstice<\/strong>, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky all year. It makes for a spectacular sunrise!<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
