Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries.

Every year more than 750, 000 v 1 go there. People like to go to this place especially in June b 2 they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.

Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar (日历). The large stones were put together i 5 a certain way.

On midsummer morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a m 6 purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your b 7 . ” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special p 8 . Others think it was built to c 9 a victory over an enemy.

Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5, 000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t, “we don’t r 10 know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working—and great planners!”
