The Mysterious Stonehenge

Stonehenge has an elite status as the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. And though it was erected in various stages, the first monument was built about 5,000 years ago. According to history, the stone circle came into being in the late Neolithic period.

Still, legends claim that Stonehenge was a work of the wizard Merlin. Others believe that the massive stones were assembled by invading Danes. Still, it’s best not to assume that the stones in Salisbury Plain are the same monument built millennia ago because the structure is said to have undergone several restorations over the years to keep the stones from falling.
