I have always been intrigued by Stonehenge and how people in that day & age were able to use such primitive tools and methods to build such tremendous monuments. It does make you wonder who really were the primitives. Them or us. Even using the modern machinery that we have at our disposal, we would still have real difficulties in building such structures as this. Love the tour videos. Thank you for putting in the time and effort of taking us along on all your wonderful travels. Love from across the pond, Chattanooga Tennessee, USA.
I remember years ago going where you could walk up to the stones. There was talk about moving the road because of pollution. Thank you for the information.
In the 1960s my grandparents took us to Stonehenge, we spent holidays in Hampshire. People were able to walk amongst the stones thank you for posting.🐨🦘🐨🦘😷
Yes it could be but you could look at the membership as it’s better value and gives you access to 400 different properties for a year. There is a link on our website to become members if you are interested.
I saw its picture on back cover of TIME Magazine. Today I came to know about its details and I didn't visit this place from London. Many thanks for taking us there.
Thank you, so much history that is intriguing. =-) You couldn't have a spiritual time there with all of the busloads of people but at least the National Trust is staying afloat. Take care =-)
Here lies the mystery of the Stonehenges: The scale of the construction would need reasonable engineering skills to move and assemble. But if they had those skills, why didn't they use the same practical engineering skills, made the job easier by cutting it in smaller blocks and assemble piece by piece? It doesnt make sense. The only logical conclusion is that the size and weight of the stones didn't matter to them, ie it was easy so they didnt bother. Now how could this be a situation for a supposedly primitive neolithic society? We today would have a very hard time assembling the site from scratch. An industrial crane can only lift up to 5 tons. The pillars of Saren stones weigh 25 tons each. You would need 5 cranes to lift one pillar!
