Discover the secrets of Stonehenge
Stonehenge has been considered many things; a calendar, a healing centre, and a place of sun worship. It wasn't until recent years that the true purpose of Stonehenge was discovered. The Neolithic sculptures are now thought to have been erected in the Bronze Age over 2500 years ago, to be used as a ritualistic burial ground (although this remains a point of uncertainty among many historians!). But whatever its original purpose, there's no denying that in 2013, Stonehenge is one of the UK's most important and influential historical sites, attracting millions of visitors from all over the world each year.
