If you travel to the south of England,you'll see a circle of huge stones there.It is called Stonehenge.It was built about 5,000years ago.
There are about 80stones and each is about five meters tall.The stones were 380kilometers from where they were made.The ancient people had only wooden tools (工具).To move the stones they probably used tree trunks to roll them along (滾動前進(jìn)).So it was a wonder to build Stonehenge.Scientists say it took millions of man-hours to move and raise the heavy stones.How did people move these huge stones from so far?No one knows the answer.One record said the great stones were carried to England by huge magical aliens!But I don't know.
Some scientists believe that Stonehenge was a temple (寺廟).Some believe it was place to bury (埋葬) dead people or perhaps it was used to study the stars and the sky at night.Others think it was even used to tell the time.Whatever the stones were used,they have always been the pride of British people.
In modern times Stonehenge has become a huge hit with tourists.There are also daily tours of Stonehenge from London by coach.Visitors can tour the site by bicycle,by bus or just on foot.The Stones can be seen from the main car park,and can be viewed quite clearly from the roadside.But it is better and more exciting to get closer and carefully take a look at them.
