Stonehenge is on the Salisbury Plain, 200km west of London, 13km north-west of Salisbury , suddenly appearing megalithic circle.
The origin of this site still remains inconclusive, some believe in “ancient observatory “, others commit ” sacred place where Druids have rituals”.
Ancient Astronomical Observatory theory by Gerald Hawkins, astronomer in June, 1961 around summer solstice, Hawkins had observed with computers to verify sunrise on summer solstice from heal stone to forward to the central altar Druids stone.
Sacred Site for Rituals worshiping sun or Healing Spot, Concluded by archaeologists of Bournemouth University from excavation that Stonehenge was a place of healing and religious ceremony.
Accounted for the high number of burials in the area and for the evidence of trauma deformity in some of the grave.
300 years ago, John Aubrey had suggested that Stonehenge was probably the religious temple for Druids since then Druids began their annual summer solstice celebrations at Stonehenge.
Stonehenge of “Druid Temple” theory is accused as miss interpretation, but it is obvious that Stonehenge is a spiritual spot, and some believe as “healing spot” where they could charge the energy of healing to enforce the power of Druid or such as second sight or magnetic power.
Construction of Stonehenge
1st Phase: Neolithic –The first monument consisted of a circular bank and ditch. The round enclosure with a large entrance to the north east aligned to sunrise on summer solstice and a smaller one to the south as 2nd entrance where some rituals must be held.
2nd Phase: BC2900～BC2600 –Some form of timber structure was built inner and outer of round enclosure.
3rd Phase: BC2500～BC1600 –Started the megalithic construction, built in dual crescent shape with blue stones at the center of the circle.
However, 200 – 300 years later, beginning of the circle of Sarsen stones, the blue stones were rearranged, so the crescent form is invisible today.
Additionally constructed, at the last phase, the Avenue linked large entrance with the Avon, Heel stone (must be a pair of stones but only one left), and at the large entrance, erected three stones only one of which is left lying called “Slaughter stone”.
