StoneHenge

=Brief history about Stonehenge= Stongehenge is a pre historic monument located 130k from London which was built sometime in 2500BC. There are many theories about why and how stonehenge was built and what it was used for. No one is really sure why stonehenge was built but some of the many theories include Druid Temple, Temple to the Sun, Lunar Observatroy, Built by survivers of Atlantis, Built by Egyptians, Cemetary, Calender, A place of healing and An Alien landing pad . =The Astronomical Theory= No one is really sure who built Stonehenge but the theory that Stonehengewas built as an Astronomical Observatory is the most convincing theory. An American Astronomer Gerald Hawkins first suggested the theory in theearly 1960's. He believed that ancient people used Stonehenge to observe theskies. The Astronomical theory suggested by Gerald Hawkins has many factors to support his theory. According to Gerald Hawkins the direction of the sunrise on the longest day of the year is exactly the same direction from the middle of the Stonehengering and the two stones called the Heel stone and the Slaughter Stone. Even though the Astronomical theory is the most possible reason whyStonehenge was built, it is still impossible to predict exactly why Stonehengewas built as it was many thousands of years ago.
