Stonehenge

Stonehenge may be considered one of the most important monuments that you can still see and relate with the European history. Even though experts are not sure about the date of its creation, it tells you something about their past.





In this sense, I agree with Wainwright about the origin of this stones. Stonehenge could have been used as a holy monument where you could find a special place; a place that would change your life, being considered as a healing location or spiritual place.

Moreover, maybe this place was built with the purpose of unifying the different cultures that where appearing at that time.

Having the form of a circle is significant in terms of a metaphorical circle of life. Many cultures were part of this construction and they put some of their own into these stones, putting their names in the history of Great Britain and the world.

This monument shows the part humans play in history. There are some people who have the privileges to write it down, nevertheless, we as a whole, form part of every event, known or unknown, in the world history.
