Stonehenge are amazing stone statues, and the prehistoric monument is located in Salisbury, England. One of the most famous in the UK. An archaeologist has discovered that Stonehenge is not alone, they are part of many other stone buildings that may not exist. The side is under protection Anticipated ancient monument since 1882. Stonehenge was added to the 1986 World Heritage List.
Stonehenge is a combination of stones that structure each other structurally. The stones are about 13 feet high and 7 feet wide. Each stone weighs about 25,000 kg and has a life longer than 4,000 years. Radiocarbon dating method it is believed that the blue stones were erected between 2400 and 2200 BC.
There was no clarity about the purpose of the place. Ancient cemetery, a place for important ceremonies, for healing, for studying the star, etc. The scientist and archaeologist can’t even agree on how it comes here. Each stone weighs several tons, and the history of how they were transported from miles, how they are together with a perfect architect, is still unresolved. Is there any machinery long before that made it a much simpler feat.
THE EARLIEST MONUMENT
As North Barrow was the early parts of Stonehenge, yet the most accurately realized real opportunity was the development of a roundabout with an inner and outer bank, which operated around 3000 BC. This covered an area about 100 meters wide and had two gates. It was an early type of henge landmark.
Inside the shore and in the waste, some wooden structures could be found, and simply inside the bank there were 56 pits, known as Aubrey Holes. There was much debate about what was left in these openings: for a long time there had been an agreement to hold wooden pillars, but too late the thought reappeared that some of them might have held stones.
Inside and around Aubrey Holes, and in addition in rejection, individuals covered the incinerations. About 64 cremations have been found, and perhaps more than 150 people were initially covered in Stonehenge, making it the largest Late Neolithic cemetery in the British Isles.
Stone structure
Around 2500 BC the stones were placed in the central point of the landmark. Two types of stone are used in Stonehenge – larger sarsenes and smaller ‘bluestones’. The Sarsens are raised in two concentric game plans – an inner horseshoe and an outer circle – and blue stones are placed between them in a double circular segment.
Perhaps, as the stones were placed in the center point of the landmark, sarsens were erected near the passage, along with four stationary stones on the edge.
Approximately 200 or after 300 years the central blue stones were transformed into the shape of a circle and an inner oval part. Earthworks Avenue has been operating so far, connecting Stonehenge and the Avon River.
One of the last ancient exercises at Stonehenge was burying around the stone settings two rings of concentric pits, supposed openings Y and Z. They may have been suggested for adjusting stones that were never completed.
After Stonehenge was built
Stone settings in Stonehenge were worked in an era of incredible change in ancient times, much like new styles of earthenware ‘Measuring Vessels’ and learning metalworking, along with advances in internment of people with grave goods, touched the base from the continent. From about 2400 BC, well-equipped tombs of Beaker, for example, Amesbury Archer, are discovered nearby.
In the early Bronze Age, probably the best group of round pipes in Britain was worked in the area around Stonehenge. Numerous wheelchair gatherings appear to have been deliberately located on peaks that cannot be replaced by Stonehenge itself, for example, on King Barrow Ridge and the particularly rich internments at Normanton Down Cemetery.
The four sarsenas at Stonehenge were decorated with several carvings outlining ax heads and several knives. Apparently, there are bronze tomahawks of the Arreton Down species, dating from around 1750–1500. BC Perhaps these tomahawks were a picture of intensity or status in early Bronze Age society or were associated here and there with close circular internment.
Later history
From the center of the Bronze Age, rarer efforts went to the development of magnificent landmarks, for example, Stonehenge, and more to exercises, for example, the formation of fields.
In the Iron Age, most likely around 700 BC, a valuable hillfort later known as Vespasian’s Camp was built 1.5 miles east of Stonehenge, neglecting the Avon Creek. Stonehenge seems to have been visited most of the time in the Roman time frame (since 43 AD), as numerous Roman objects have been found there. Recent discoveries have increased the likelihood that this position is of particular importance to the Romano-British people.
The community of Amesbury is likely to have been built around the sixth century AD on transverse Avon. The executed man, perhaps a fraud, was covered in Stonehenge in the Saxon period. Since then, sheep breeding has ordered an open takeover around Stonehenge. The most accurate permanent compiled references to Stonehenge date from the medieval period, and since the fourteenth century references to Stonehenge and its drawings and artistic creations have been spread in the departments.
Stonehenge in the 20th to 21st centuries
Since 1897, when the Department of Defense purchased a huge tract of arrival on the Salisbury Plain for the armed forces preparing the works, military exercises have affected the region. Dormitories, an end polygon, field medical clinics, landing lanes and light railways have been established. Some of these, for example, the runway for World War I Stonehenge, have long since been destroyed, but others, for example, the Larkhill landing sheds, still stand and are significant in the historical background of the early Air Force.
Temporarily, the presentation of the interstate streets and railroad to Salisbury brought many more guests to Stonehenge. Since the 1880s various stones have been supported by wooden pillars, however, concern for the safety of guests developed when in 1900 the outer sarsen and its lintel fell. The then owner Sir Edmund Antrobus, with the help of the Antiquities Society, decided to rebuild the sloping tallest trilithon in 1901.
Stonehenge – the last stones were fortified in 1964.
The landmark remained privately owned until 1918 when Cecil Chubb, a neighbor man who had bought Stonehenge from the Atrobus family in exchange three years earlier, offered it to the country. Since then, the obligation to save the landmark has fallen to the state, today a job done in its favor by English Heritage.
From 1927, the National Fund began securing the land around Stonehenge to protect it and return it to the meadow. The vast territories of the Stonehenge scene are currently owned by them. Subsequent improvements to the scene – including the expulsion of old guest offices and the conclusion of a segment of the old A344 that passed near the rocks – began the road to returning Stonehenge to an open prairie setting, but there is more that should be possible. English Heritage is urging the government to intend to invest resources in a passage that would expel a significant portion of the occupied A303 and help connect the landmark to the old scene.
