Archaeologists don't yet know precisely why Stonehenge was created. Geologists believe that it was constructed in several phases over more than a thousand years. The structure is aligned with the sun on both the summer and winter solstices. It may have been used as a sacred burial ground for ancient people. What strikes me is how much we have learned with science, including the ages and origins of the many stones used in its construction. Science is powerful, and influences how we understand our history as much as it leads us to the future. |
