Stonehenge Britain’s greatest national icon

Слайд 2

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in England, about 13 km north of Salisbury. This circular arrangement of large stones was probably built in three stages about 3000 BC. This site was added to the UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites in 1986. It is owned by the Crown. The function of the monument remains unknown. Once believed to be a temple for Druids, Stonehenge is now often thought to have been either a temple for sun or ancestor worshippers or a type of astronomical clock or calendar. It is also very likely to have been a domain of the dead from its beginning to its zenith in the third millennium, as there are many cremation burials around it. Some facts about Stonehenge

Слайд 3

Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones enclosed by a ditch. Originally, 30 sarsen stones formed a circle 33 m in diameter. These stones were over 4 m high, 2m wide and weighed about 25 tons. They may have been collected on the chalk downs, closer to hand. There were 30 lintel stones, finely worked, resting on top. In the inner circle stood 5 trilithons of bluestone arranged in a horseshoe shape with its open end facing N-E. These huge stones were around 6 – 7 m tall, and weighed up to 50 tons each.they were thought to have been transported by humans from the Preseli Hills, 250 km away in Wales. Another theory is that they were brought much nearer to the site as the glacial erratics by the Irish Sea Glacier.
