Have you ever heard of Stonehenge? It is a rock circle, not only one of Britain's most famous places in history, but also one of its greatest mysteries. Most historians believe it must be almost 5. 000 years old. Perhaps we might never know how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy, but we do know people there must have been hard﹣working and great planners!
Every year it receives more than 750, 000 visitors. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. For example, some historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient readers tried to communicate with the gods. Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer's morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Others think the stones can stop people from getting illness.
