This
ancient monument of huge stones solitarily standing on the Salisbury Plain
in Wiltshire, England has captured imaginations for centuries. Theories
about who built it have included the Druids, Greeks, Phoenicians, and Atlanteans. Speculation on the reason it was built
range from human sacrifice to astronomy. Investigations over the last 100
years have revealed that Stonehenge was built in several stages from 2800 -
1800 BC. It seems to have been designed to allow for observation of
astronomical phenomena - summer and winter solstices, eclipses, and more.
On this
day, we woke up at 6am early in the morning because the bus will waiting
for us at 7am beside the Norfolk Park Granville Road. Although we are quite
rush on this morning but finally we still managed to make ourselves in
time. Altogether there are 6 buses hired for this trip. It took us about 5
hours from Sheffield Norfolk Park to Stonehenge.
