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.
