No place has generated so much speculation and wild theories as the standing stones of Stonehenge.
Stonehenge, which is located at Wiltshire, United Kingdom, is a pre historic monument. It is composed of earth works that surround large standing stones in circular setting. According to many theories, the date of the erection is still unknown where some consider it to be in 2200 B.C. and other saying it to be around 3000 B.C. But till date no such strong evidence shows the exact date of the monument being built.
One of the major mysteries of Stonehenge was how it was built.
The first stones, the bluestones were sourced from the only place in the UK where such stone exists. In Wales, nearly 200 hundred miles away.
The common theory is that these stones were transported largely by water to within a couple of miles of Stonehenge. However no body has even today successfully re-enacted this feat with the technologies available at the time. Nor found any evidence along the way to support this.
