Stonehenge, England

Stonehenge is a large prehistoric set of assembled stones built by ancient Britons. The structure is in Wiltshire, England and has been noted as one of the oldest man-made monuments on the planet. The individual stones weigh much more than any human could carry with the lightest one weighing up to 3.6 tons while the larger supporting stones are estimated at 25 tons. This leaves many speculating who could’ve built it and how it was built.

The archaeological monument is over 5000 years old, opening much room for interpretation on its purpose at such a period in earth’s existence. Scientists have been researching Stonehenge since the mid-1600s and while we have learned much more about it, we are still left with many unanswered questions.
