A prehistoric monument located in the County of Wiltshire in England. This circle of stone has baffled many and been the focal point of debate and conjecture about the capabilities of our ancient relatives. Commonly thought to have been started circa 3000 BC this monument has been aligned to correctly identify important dates in the annual calendar. Also the stones weighing many tons were not available to be quarried locally, begging the question of how they got there and what manpower was required to set them in place? Was it an old calendar that doubled as an alter for druid sacrifices? Throw in a few Arthurian rumors and you have the quintessential prehistoric enigma.
So why? How? What for? What say you? Discuss...
