Theories of Stonehenge

Since the beginning of the recorded history, the mystery of Stonehenge in the Salisbury Plain, England has plagued humanity. It is said that about 40 tons of stone has been transferred from Wales, which is about 137 tons away. By using radioactive carbon analysis at Stonehenge ruins it was confirmed that the monument was built between 3000 and 1500 BC. Stonehenge's original purpose was lost, so it was a major topic of discussion by archeologists.

There is not much evidence to support some of the theories about why Stonehenge was built. However, even evidence for Stonehenge has been proven wrong, but it is still prosperous (Chippindale, 1983; 263). The proposal that Stonehenge was built in a graveyard is clearly a doubt. There are many tombs around Stonehenge ruins, because Stonehenge was originally a burial place, but its aim has changed from the second stage (Merkur, 1990: 24). Likewise, there is no evidence to support the theory of using it for sacrifice purposes (Anon, 2001; np). This is quite clear as the altar stone on which this theory is based does not show traces of bleeding or sacrificial marks. The possibility of Stonehenge's theory being established as a calendar or observatory is minimal. The tremendous effort required to build this structure is more important than the calendar.

A permanent theory about Stonehengebuilder was that King Arthur and Merlin built Stonehenge. This theory is very attractive, but historically it is impossible as King Arthur lived around the year 500 AD. After 3, 500 construction (Adkins, 1994: 36), there is no evidence that Merlin exists. For some reason other cultures can not make Stonehenge, I believe the early British built Stonehenge. For centuries before Stonehenge 's architecture began, the early British were in the Salisbury Plain. This is different from all other cultural suggestions, as the construction of Stonehenge began, other cultures were not in the middle of England's Wiltshire. Secondly, the early British was a religious culture, as it was decided that there is no other reason for the large-scale work needed to be reasonable to construct Stonehenge.
