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.
