Places I want to see: Stonehenge version
I cannot begin to say why the monolith of Stonehenge fascinates me, but it does. It feels like someplace where I would "Belong" if that makes sense?
It also amazes me how facts like these gets lost in history. At one time people knew what purpose it served. Now it's a mystery.
Additionally from what I can tell, the countryside in the area is wonderful.
Nova video about Stonehenge:
New archeological finds shed light on this misunderstood monument of the ancient world.

I have never been to stonehenge
For the majority of my life I lived in gloucestershire which borders wiltshire where stonehenge is.
I now live in worcester which is in the county of worcestershire and only 80 miles from stonehenge.

That's funny. I wonder if any of them who built it thought that. "Oh in the future people will really wonder about this...."

I too am fascinated with it but I think the Romans and early Christians are responsible for the loss of it's history. It's the same as with the American Indians, so much of their culture and history was obliterated by arrogant Europeans.

Maybe some arrogant Europeans built it in the first place, but because they were too arrogant (wars, etc.) they destroyed it later on LOL!

Ah yes, keeping of old ways was rather frowned on for awhile... maybe that's part of why the info about it got lost

@FayeHazel I was jumping up and down with excitement! It seemed pretty much in the middle of nowhere - just in a big paddock.

I would love to explore the amazon forest . . and hope to see headhunters. I heard there are still headhunters roaming in the amazon forest! I wonder if there is one or 2 roaming in Amazon.com!

@FayeHazel Bit scary . . .because my head looks like an egg of an Ostrich (above drawing) . . they might chop it off and barbecue it.

I hope you get to see the Amazon someday and I hope that if you meet a headhunter, that they are friendly :-)

@antonbunot Ha ha. I doubt that picture looks much like you, but true, you'd have to worry about headhunters. They might think you look good for bbq

I am interested in this place but only because people said the place might have been created or built many years ago for some witchcraft purposes. And that if you come at a certain time of the day or night (perhaps a full moon night is better), you might see something interesting (which might result in some goosebumps!)... Fancy that! Can you run fast if you see something awful there?

I do wonder if it was a Druid structure....
Or what it's like during a full moon like you say, or maybe some event like a solstice

@FayeHazel They made many TV documentary films out of that Stonehenge. Fictions were written around it too!
