Stonehenge is a monument stone relics of ancient human in the days of the Bronze and
Neolithikum located adjacent to Amesbury about 13 kilometers (8 stone ) northwest of
Salisbury Plain , Province of Wilshire , England.
Stonehenge it self consists of thirty stones upright ( sarsens ) with a very large size (each
stone was initially uniform in height, which is 10 meters with each stone has a weight of 26tons ) , all of stones upright these arranged to form upright a circular known as megalithikum
.
There is debate about the age of actual circle the stone , but most archaeologists estimate that
most of the building Stonehenge was built between 2500-2000 BC. Roundabout ponds
ground and ditches forming phase of the construction monument Stonehenge a more , beginning around 3100 BC . Although the same age ( henges ) age Neolithikum -providingresemble Stonehenge , Stonehenge may have linkages with circle stone other located in the
British Isle as Ring of Brodgar but size trilitonnya as an example makes it unique. This place
is included in the list Heritage UNESCO World in 1986 .
In in 30 circle stone a large earlier, also there are about 30 stone with a smaller size calledLintels , prepared with shape a circular juga.Tapi currently Mostly questioning stones upright
had been eroded and fallen .
Prehistoric According to the archaeologist British , Richard John Coplan Atkinson (1950) , Stonehenge
approximately was built about 5000 years ago , the building itself is divided into several phases (I, II , IIIA , IIIB , and IIIC ) . Of course, with the number of stages phase of in the
development Stonehenge , indicating that the building requires a very long time in the
process , ranging from lawyers transport stone their own to stage carving on each stone .
Emphasis meeting there are known carving in every stone Stonehenge , it is only known by
researchers recently . According to an archaeologist , Tom Goskar , with method scanning
laser , carvings on stone the new look . If deng the eye naked will not be visible . Of course,
with the discovery of other forms of engraving on rocks , could at least give a glimmer of
hope to uncover the usability of Stonehenge in the past .
complex Stonehenge was built in several phases of development over 2,000 years and duringthat period, the activity goes on. This is evidenced by the discovery of a corpse of a Saxon
who was beheaded and interred in memorial the , and possibly the bodies came from the 7thcentury AD
Stonehenge I
The monument first consists of a circle cliff round and trench measuring 115 meters (320feet) in diameter and with a single entrance in the northeast . This phase is about 3100 BC . In
the outer area of the circle there are 59 holes , known as the holes Aubrey to commemorate
John Aubrey , archaeologist the seventeenth-century who was the first to find out holes these
. Twenty- five of the holes Aubrey are known to have perkebumian ash in two centuries after
the founding of Stonehenge . Thirty ashes corpses placed in the trench area of the circle and
other parts in the area Stonehenge . pottery Neolithic late were found together provide
evidence of date . A single stone monolith large that is not smoothed known as ' Stone Heel '
( Heel Stone ) is located outside the entrance.
Stonehenge II Proof of phase the second is no longer visible. However evidence from several holes pillar of
time period this prove the presence of several buildings wooden constructed in the area of acircle around the beginning of millennium the third BC . Some impression of the board who
found dile not at the entrance. This phase is the same as the place Woodhenge which islocated adjacent .
Stonehenge IIIa excavations Archeological show that around 2600 BC , two arches crescent made of a hole
(known as hole Q and R ) were excavated in the middle -teng ah location. Hole contains 80
stone blue vertical brought from the hills Preseli , 250 stones in Wales . The stones are
formed into a beam with a thorough , mostly composed of rock types dolerite marked but
included examples of stone rhyolite , tuff volcanic , and myolite weighing 4 tons .
The entrance widened at the time of was making it in line with the direction of sun rises mid-
summer and sun sets mid- spring period. The monument was abandoned without a prepared ,while stone a blue apparently in the move and the holes of Q and R is closed . This is
probably done at the time of Phase Stonehenge IIIB . This monument seems to exceed the atAvebury terms of its importance at the end of period this and the Amesbury Archer , was
found in 2002 three stone to the south , imagine how Stonehenge looked at period this .Stonehenge IIIa said paid on built by those Beaker
Stonehenge IIIB
In activity phase of the next at the end of millennium the third 74 BC found stones Sarsen
large taken from the query 20 stone north of at the site Marlborough Downs . stones
dikemaskan and formed by the connection pins and segments before 30 was established toform rounded stone pillar measuring 30 meters in diameter with 29 roof stone ( lintel ) above.Each lump of stone weighing 25 tons and clearly established with the aim to impress .
Stone orthostat wide slightly at the top to give an idea she looked straight from the bottom up
while the stone coarse arched a little to connect the picture of round the monument earlier .
Inside the sphere is located five trili thon stones sarsen are processed and arranged in ahorseshoe . stone large This , ten straightened and five stone grass, weighing each up to 50
tons which is connected with connections complicated . Carving knives daggers and heads axfound in sarsen . In period this , the road along 500 meters away is built , heading northeast
from the entrance and contains two pairs of pond harmony that berparit in the middle. Lasttwo stones portal large paired at the entrance that is now only one , Stone slaughter (
Slaughter Stone) 4.9 meters (16 feet ) long . It is believed the work of culture Wessex Bronze
Age the early , around 2000 BC .
Stonehenge IIIC Selepasnya the Bronze Age , stone blue appears to have upheld the original , in a circle
between two poles sarsen and also in a shape horseshoe in the middle , follow the procedure
layout sarsen . Although he seemed a phase work stunning , the construction of Stonehenge
IIIC was built less rigorous compared to Stonehenge IIIB , stone a blue which upheld seems
to have foundation no solid and begin to fall . One of stones the fallen have been given names
that are less precise as the Rock Worship ( Altar Stone ) . Two Rounded holes are also dug
out circle stone known as the hole Y and Z. The holes are never filled with stones and the
construction of site memorial this seems terbiarkan around 1500 BC .
Stonehenge IV
Around 1100 BC , highway Avenue spliced as far as more than two stone to the River Avon ,although it is unclear who is involved in work development additional this .
Theories about Stonehenge research was serious The first done around 1740 by William Stukeley . Stukeley incorrectly
stated that this location was built by the Druids , but contribution the most important is to
take drawing a measured of the location of Stonehenge which justify analysis a more precise
of the shape and importance . Which shows that the henge and stone arranged in a shape that
has an interest in astronomy .
Gerald Hawkins , a Professor of Astronomy . Also issued a statement that function the real of
Stonehenge in the past is as Observatory Astronomy sophisticated to predict the arrival of eclipse the Sun or Moon ( Stonehenge Decoded ) . Munurutnya , laying each stone at
Stonehenge contains a wealth of information to support that statement.
According to him , " If you can understand the position of each stone structure , then youdefinitely can conclude about the usefulness of Stonehenge in the past . " Astronomers Other
also found a cycle of 56-year Eclipse the Sun and Moon in a way decode every stone inStonehenge .
On each stone upright , reflecting a certain position from sunlight , making it very accurate to
show cycle astronomical calculations . Truly great men of that age.
How stones blue were transported from Wales has many dibincangkan and based on researchthat he may be a part of the stone memorial earlier in Pembrokeshire and was taken toSalisbury Plain ( Salisbury Plain ) . Many archeologists believe that Stonehenge is an attempt
to perpetuate in the form of stone , the building boards are scattered on Salisbury Plain asWall Durrington .
This monument is aligned northeast - southwest and the primacy placed by the builders on
the solstice and equinox for example , in mid- summer morning , the sun appeared right on
top of the rock heel ( Heel stone ) , and light of the first the sun to the center of Stonehenge
between two trees stone -shaped horseshoe . This can not happen by chance . The sun arisesin directions different on the surface of geography a different . For alignment the exact , it
have is estimated to proper to the latitude of Stonehenge at 51 ° 11 ' . Alignment of this , of course, the basis for them and shape and place for Stonehenge . AlexanderThom argues that
free sites are arranged according to the size of the yard megalithic .
So most of the opinion that Stonehenge represents a place observatory of ancient , although
how far the use of Stonehenge for that purpose contested . Some opinions also put forward
the theory that it represents farah a big ( Article from the Observer ) , computer or even
landing site an alien .
Many estimates of the achievement of machines needed to build Stonehenge . Assume thatthe stones blue were brought from Wales by human power and not by glaciers as allegations
Aubrey Burl , various ways to move it by using ropes and wood . , an attempt to divert a largerock along the way land and sea that may be from Wales to Stonehenge . Volunteers pulled
over sliding ( Sledge ) wood in the mainland but if transferred to a replica bots prehistoric ,stone sink diSelat Bristol .
Engraving weapon on sarsen is unique in art megalithic in Isles the British (British Isles )
where designs more abstract , as well as stone -shaped horseshoe horse is an exceptional for
culture a set of stone in the form of a round . motive The usual for the people of Brittany in
those days and the two phases of Stonehenge had been built under the influence influence.
This can be explained at one stage , about them and the form of monuments, but on the
whole, Stonehenge is still to be explained from any context of cultural European prehistory .
Estimates of the manpower required to build the various phases of Stonehenge put the total
amount involved for millions of hours of human work . Stonehenge I probably need about11,000 hours, Stonehenge II about 360,000 and various Baian for Stonehenge III may involve
so 1.75 million hours . To form these stones is estimated to require 20 million hours man
Stone Heel (The Heel Stone ) in a period known as the Friar 's Heel . Folklore, which isuncertain origin earlier than the seventeenth century , tells the origin of the name of stone this
.
Some opinions indict Heel Friar ( " Friar 's Heel ") is the change in name " Freya 's He- ol "or
" Freya Sul " , from the name of god German Freya and ( charged ) words of the Welsh for "
among the examined " and " solar day " according to the succession .
A argument surprising about the history of Stonehenge was in put forward by an expert
History and Topography of Ireland , Gerald of Wales . He mentioned that the Human Gianthas brought stones tremendous from Africa to England . From the structure geological of the
rocks making up Stonehenge itself did show that the stones gigantic that are not derived from
regions European , because its structure is very different, but similar to the rock from theAfrican region .
Stonehenge is also associated with the legend of King Arthur . Geoffrey of Monmouth said
that the magician Merlin has made the transfer of Stonehenge from Ireland , where he had
built at Mount Killaraus by giants who brought the stones from Africa .
If of man a giant was there , as we all know , the construction of The Great Pyramid of Giza
Egypt , he also has nothing to do with the Human Giant. How do they carry heavy stones
such ? Maybe this is possible if the Human Giant with high 7-10 meters carrying at the same
