This prehistoric monument is now 5000 years old and is in the list of World Heritage. For what purpose they used the rocks? Composite was cemetery, temple of the sun that Observatory or the moon? Nobody can know for sure. Come and solve the puzzle of how transferred edon these giant rocks. Located in the beautiful English countryside, the Stoounchetz are ideal for people seeking entertainment and want to learn about the history of England. It is certainly the greatest national icon in Britain, which symbolizes the mystery, power and endurance. The original purpose of the construction is not clear to us, but some make assumptions that it was a temple constructed for the worship of ancient deities. It is also called as an astronomical observatory, and to indicate important events of the prehistoric calendar. Others argue that it was a sacred burial place for the senior citizens of a society. As long as we can not say with any degree of certainty why there has been, we can say that it was constructed for a random order. Only something very important for the ancient could be worth the effort and time given for the construction of Stonehenge. The Stonehenge was constructed in three phases: First stage: The indigenous people of England of the Neolithic era began building the first phase of Stonehenge around 2950 BC the excavation of a circular ditch, using horns as elafisia tools. The circle has a diameter of 100 meters and the trench itself has a width of 6 meters and 2 meters of depth. Then they used pieces of chalk, which were taken from the pit, to build a dike cragginess just inside the outer circle. Inside this circular embankment riches eskapsan 56 holes, known as «the holes Ompref» (the name taken from the name of the explorer who discovered Aubrey), which were wooden poles. Finally two parallel anegerthisan stones at the entrance to the circle whose Lithos slaughter (Slaughter Stone) still exists. Also diasosmenes are both Key Stone (Station Stones), which is located opposite. Second phase: The work of the second phase began around 2100 BC At this stage assembled inside a semicircle of the original embankment and the circular ditch, composed of granite rocks, called blue vitriol (the name given because of their original color). For this phase there are many conflicting views. Initially the blue vitriol came from the Preseli Mountains (Preseli Hills) south-west Wales. Copper sulphate was about 80, weighing 4 tonnes each. How was the transfer is not known, although experts believe that such a feat is not impossible, and many theories have been presented. Nevertheless it is interesting to wonder what so special area of Stonehenge in order to give so much effort and toil for kouvalima of those giant stone distance 400 km, instead of the monument built near the area from where the stones were taken. Secondly, the entry of copper sulphate in the chamber is aligned with sunrise at the summer equinox. The line has continued with the clarification of a new approach of the «Avenue» (Avenue), which has ditches and trenches on each side, as was the original outer circle. Two stones of the heel (Heel Stones) placed in the Avenue, one of which still exists, albeit bent. Third phase: The third phase is responsible for this circular stone formation that is currently visible. During this phase, which began around 2000 BC, built the built a vertical circle of stones, the Sarsen (psammolithoi) in pairs, and each pair was placed horizontally on top of a stone Lintels. Horizontal these stones are not rectangular, but curved so as to form a semicircle at the top. Initially there were 30 Sarsen stones. Of these 17 are still standing. Came from Marlmporo Ntaouns (Marlborough Downs), 30 km north of Stonehenge, a height of 4 meters and weighing 50 tonnes each. The outer surface of all these stones and forged omalopoiithike. Inside this stone ring up a laminar formation of the same construction with the use of 10 vertical stones. Here trilith (consisting of two vertical stones, plus the Lintels) held separately between the five pairs. Eight of the original stones still exist. The formation of this laminar is also aligned with the summer solstice. Almost a century later, around 20 copper sulphate from the second phase placed in a horseshoe shape in the formation of laminar Sarsen. Less than half «alive» nowadays. Legends and traditio |
