Discovering Mysterious Megaliths

Stonehenge is a megalithic structure on the plain in southern England. The gigantic stones overwhelm visitors. When and how the site was constructed is gradually unraveled. However, why it was constructed remains a mystery. There are various theories about what Stonehenge was made for: a Celtic chapel, an astronomical observatory, and a King’s tomb. Yet, the most popular one claims that Stonehenge was either a sun-worshiping or burial site. This is because the sun rises along the straight line connecting the 6-meter-high basalt rock and the stone in the center. Please enjoy the mysterious and mystical site that fascinates people from all over the world.
