Stonehenge, a mysterious ancient site in the UK, has puzzled historians and archaeologists for centuries. Built over 5,000 years ago, it consists of massive stone pillars arranged in a circle. The construction spanned 1,500 years, involving various groups. Theories on stone transportation include sledges, rollers, and even glaciers. Myths attribute its creation to figures like Merlin, but modern science suggests it was a community project. Stonehenge served multiple purposes, from astronomy to religious ceremonies. Alternative theories propose alien involvement or energy vortices, adding to its intrigue.
