8. FIRST STAGE
• The first Stonehenge was a large
earthwork probably built around 3100 BC.
• They formed a circle. Archaeologists found
cremated human bones, but they were
probably from part of a religious
ceremony.
• After that, the monument didn’t change
until 1000 years later.

9. SECOND STAGE
• It started around 2150 BC. About 82
bluestones from the Preseli mountains in
south-west Wales were brought to the
site. This journey was nearly 240 miles.
• Once there, the stones were set up in the
centre to make an incomplete double
circle.

10. THIRD STAGE
• It started in 2000 BC. The Sarsen stones
that they used were probably brought
from the Marlborough Downs area near
Avebury, about 25 miles north of
Stonehenge.
• These were placed in an outer circle. Inside
the circle, there were also five trilithons,
that still remain today.

11. FINAL STAGE
• After 1500 BC the bluestones were moved
into the horseshoe and circle that we see
today.
• Most of the bluestones have been
removed or broken.

12. Possible theories about
Stonehenge
• Stonehenge was an astronomical observatory
They could predict eclipses, lunar phases and
seasons. Nevertheless, it was possible that it was
not the original function because it took more
than 1000 years to finish it.
• Stonehenge was a cemetery
Scientists found human bones buried there.

13. • Stonehenge was a religious temple
People went there because the Druids
could give them magic power and cure
their illnesses.

14. CONCLSUION
 There are so many theories about Stonehenge, for an example, some people theorize
that it was made to heal human beings.
 The next theory is that Stonehenge is an a religious temple. People think people go
their to worship their gods.
 The final theory is that Stonehenge was created by aliens and it is a U.F.O. landing site.
 There are so many theories about Stonehenge. I think is that it was built to help people
feel better about themselves. In other words I believe that we people long ago built
Stonehenge as a religious temple. The evidence I found had to do with the artifacts like
pottery bones, and carvings in the stones.
