Stonehenge

One of the best known sites of England is Stonehenge. It stands in isolation on the Salisbury plain. It is a unique site. The tallest stone is 6,7 m high, with another 2,4 m below ground. It consists of a circle of 30 upright stones, of which 17 still stand. Each stone weigh about 25 tons. The tops of these stones were joined by a ring of horizontal stones. The stones in the circle are carefully shaped.

The outer circles consisted originally of about 60 stones. Inside these two circles lies the horseshoe, which consisted originally of five stones.

Stonehenge was first mentioned in 1135. It was told that the giants brought it from Africa to Ireland, and from there it was taken by the wizard Merlin across the sea.

Another legend says that the stones were stolen from an Irish woman by the devil and reput on the Salisbury plain by Merlin for the king of Britons.

In the 12^th century people thought that it was a monument over King Arthur's grave. There are other legends, too. Some people thought it was an observatory to study the sun, the moon and the stars.

The most unusual theory is that Stonehenge was built by visitors from other worlds.

Stonehenge is the most visited monument in Britain, the place always full of tourists. The best view is early in the morning or in the evening.
