Stonehenge was built in stages between roughly 3000 and 1500 BCE during the Neolithic and Bronze Age. The earliest phase began as a circular earthwork with a ditch and wooden posts. Over centuries massive stones were added transforming the site into the monument seen today.

The larger sarsen stones were sourced locally while the smaller bluestones were transported from the Preseli Hills in Wales a remarkable feat of ancient engineering. Stonehenge is closely aligned with the solstices suggesting ceremonial or astronomical importance.

Although its exact purpose remains unknown Stonehenge is believed to have served as a ritual gathering place burial site or spiritual center. Today it stands as a symbol of prehistoric ingenuity and continues to inspire awe and curiosity around the world.
