The Haunting Mystery of Stonehenge

THE HAUNTING MYSTERY OF STONEHENGE It’s a prehistoric landmark, built five thousand years ago, who actually constructed it, we still don’t really know. Standing near Salisbury, England on the dusty northern plain, the reason for its existence, no-body can explain. The bigger stones called “sarsens” are thirty two feet tall, each weigh twenty two cubic tons stand on end to form each wall. The stone came from 20 miles away and it seems quite bizarre, these people of antiquity could move such stone so far. Forty tons of bluestone rest, surviving climate wear and tear but the biggest question still remains, how did it get up there? Is Stonehenge a haunting monument what a sculptor dreams about, or is it an ancient puzzle we’ve yet to figure out? Mystery Poetry Contest –July 2/2016
