Stonehenge is not only the most famous stone circle in Britain, but also the best-known ancient monument in the
World. ... Stonehenge was not built all in one single step, but rather in four separate stages, dating from
approximately 3100BC to 1500BC. The modern visitor to Stonehenge is viewing the ruins of the final phase of
construction site. The oldest part, called Stonehenge I, is the soil taken from the ditch piled up to make a bank about six
feet tall. ... These massive stones have been placed in unison with these
circles to create Stonehenge.
The location of Stonehenge was not simply a coincidental happening, for the latitude is very specific in its
function. In the Northern Hemisphere there is only one latitude for which the sun and moon azimuths are separated by
90º, and Stonehenge happens to be only a few miles from that latitude. At the latitude of Stonehenge, this axis crosses
the midwinter sunset/midsummer sunrise axis at right angles.
