The area of Stonehenge was long used by the ancients as a burial ground, and you can see the burial mounds today where the ancient people cremated and buried their dead. It is long believed that the Druids constructed Stonnehenge as a place of worship, and Stonhenge is considered to be a great architectural feat. You can walk in a circle around Stonehenge and see it from many perspectives, set in its natural setting with sheep and cattle grazing nearby. When Stonehenge was built is also up for debate. Some say it was built as early as 3000 BC, others speculate it was constructed about 2400 BC. No one knows exactly how this monument was created or why, and no one knows by whom it was erected. It baffles the mind how ancient people could have moved the huge Stonehenge stones. The legend of King Arthur even comes into play in the discussion of the construction of Stonehenge. One Twelfth Century writer, Geoffrey of Monmouth, in his History of the Kings of Britain, wrote that Merlin brought the stones to the Salisbury Plain from Ireland sometime in the fifth century, and Merllin suggested an expedition to Ireland for the purpose of transplanting the Giant s Ring Stone Circle to Britain (stones that had been previously brought to Ireland from Africa by giants). Others suggest this was the work of extra-terrestrials; but no one really knows how Stonehenge was erected or what its purpose was. It is all speculation. Award winning poet and author, Penelope Dyan and photographer John D. Weigand traveled to Stonehenge to bring this book to you and to remind us all that nothing is impossible, even if it seems that way. Stonehenge is proof positive of that!
