Sketch of 3 sarsen stones.
On our visit outside of the city, Stonehenge popped up almost at random out of the rolling green hills as a ruin made of a pile of rocks. Before coming here it seemed so much a mystical site that tv and historians tell an impossible tale, however upon viewing It for myself, I realize that though the stones are huge, it seems possible with enough man power. The organization seems reasonable for a time when people wanted to congregate around something as powerful at the stars and the sun. Being able to understand formations like this as a man made form begins to dissolve the improbability of some of these structures we aren’t used to seeing outside of a history book. The complex is quite big, but at a small enough scale that it is plausible. Surely not as big as the pyramids, so I can more clearly confirm that aliens did not create Stonehenge.
I find it interesting we were on the same thought wave about the construction of Stonehenge and how it seems plausible that man could’ve built it. I have seen several history channel shows that speculate how it was built more than what it was used for, some of those speculations just being outlandish, but the construction isn’t what we are mind boggled about anymore it seems. When comparing things like the pyramids to Stonehenge, it is easier to question how it was built. But, here it seemed as though with enough people dedicated to building Stonehenge, it would in fact be extremely possible for them to accomplish. Walking around the museum and viewing the living quarters they believed the Stonehenge workers lived in was way more information than they knew 5 years ago when I was taught it. So, to see this new information still coming forward, but now in regards to its purpose, suggests that there is no longer the same curiosity as to how it was built but rather why it was built.
