Parker--Stonehenge

//**STONEHENGE**// == Do you know what Stonehenge was used for? Then, if you don’t know you will find out at the end of this paper. Stonehenge is very odd looking and mysterious. It is beautiful for tourist and a cool spot to visit. Stonehenge was used as a burial site. == == Stonehenge is important because it was built by Ancient Britain’s and was used for religion purposes (If Stones Could Speak). It is very mysterious because it is in a circle. It must have taken a long time to make over hundred years. I wonder why someone would do all this work. It was made for the afterlife to help them with it. == == Stonehenge came to be by early British farmers who built it for their religion (Stonehenge Takes Shape). Farmers rolled and pushed the bluestones to this area. They built Stonehenge around 3800 B.C. We believe that the stones were brought there from Ireland and that Constantine’s body was buried there. == == Not really a lot of things have happened to Stonehenge since then. It has been a hot tourist spot since they have discovered it. We have been unlocking the secrets about Stonehenge. We have also learned what it was used for and why. That is what has happened since then. == == It has been roped off and used as a memorial. It has been very important to England. Tourists have been going there for a long time ever since it was open. Now people just go to England to see it. Now I will tell an important thing about Stonehenge. == == Another important thing is that it is very famous and a pretty site. “ Stonehenge was constructed somewhere between 3100 – 1100 B.C. Stonehenge is the most well known among the nine hundred stone rings which exists in the British Isles.”(Stonehenge.co.uk). It has been estimated that the construction of Stonehenge required more than thirty million hours of labor . == == It is expected to have more tourists. People think that it going to get damaged and hurt from people touching it. People believe that a locus is to come to us from the stones. That is what I think will happen in the future of Stonehenge. ==
