Stargate- Ez Pennybagz
Stargate by Ez Pennybagz
*It was built between 3100 – 1100 BCE.
*The circle was aligned with the midsummer sunrise, the midwinter sunset, and the most southerly rising and northerly setting of the moon.
*The ground plan and structural engineering of Stonehenge incorporate sophisticated mathematical and geometrical understandings on the part of its builders.
*There were two types of stones used in its construction: the ‘bluestones’ (weighing as much as four tons and brought from 240 miles away) and the Sarsen stones (averaging eighteen feet in height and twenty-five tons in weight).
*It has been estimated that the construction of Stonehenge required more than thirty million hours of labor.
*More than nine hundred stone rings exist in the British Isles. Of these, Stonehenge is the most well known.
*The megalithic monuments of Britain and Europe predate those of the eastern Mediterranean, Egyptian, Mycenaean and Greek cultures.
*The Druids had nothing to do with the construction of the stone rings. Druids are known to have conducted their ritual activities mostly in sacred forest groves.
