I chose the monument Stonehenge. Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire England. Stonehenge was completed slowly. It started 5,000 years ago, Stonehenge is a monument that is full of different size stones to form a circle. The monument added round stones in the center around the year 2500 BC. There are two types of stones used to create Stonehenge. The two consist of sarsen and bluestones. The larger stones are sarsen and the smaller are bluestones. There is a total of 83 stones in Stonehenge.
The monument has become part of the British culture because of its history and being in British literature and art. Though Stonehenge is proved to be part of the Neolithic people’s work. Stonehenge is important to its culture because it’s one of the only circular stone structures in the world, which makes it even more special. The monument is also very important because it is useful in coronations, druid temple and help astronomers figure out eclipses and solar events that happen. It’s a place of worship and healing. Stonehenge is important to me because I have always wanted to go see it. I am interested in old artifacts like old ruins or older monuments like Stonehenge. I chose this monument because of my interest and because of the uniqueness it has. I will be doing the North, South, West, East and the top.
