This ancient stone circle has attracted visitors and researchers for centuries, but many of its secrets still remain unsolved. The construction of Stonehenge is believed to have taken place in several stages, starting around 3000 BC. The stones used in the monument are of two types: the smaller bluestones and the larger sarsens. The bluestones, which weigh up to 4 tons each, were transported from the Preseli Hills in Wales, over 240 kilometers away. How ancient people moved these heavy stones without modern tools is a great puzzle for scientists. Over the years, various theories have been put forward about the purpose of Stonehenge. Some researchers think it was a religious temple where ancient people worshipped the sun and moon. Others believe it was an astronomical observatory, used to predict eclipses and solstices. There is also a theory that it served as a burial ground for important people, as human bones dating back to the Neolithic period have been found there. Despite years of research, many questions about Stonehenge remain unanswered. For example, who exactly built it? What was the exact method used to transport the stones? These mysteries continue to make Stonehenge a fascinating place for people all over the world. 1.What can we learn about the bluestones of Stonehenge? A. They are heavier than sarsens B.
