A theory?
Why was it built? Who did it? These questions surround Stonehenge -- one of the history's greatest unsolved mysteries. Explore cutting edge theories and watch as a leading scientist attempts to crack the mystery. Using innovative ideas about the people who built Stonehenge, an anthropologist at the University of East London believes he's got a key to unlock the enigma.
Extra:
There are probably hundreds of myths and legends about Stonehenge. Various people have attributed the building of this great megalith to the Danes, Romans, Saxons, Greeks, Atlanteans, Egyptians, Phoenicians Celts, King Aurelius Ambrosious, Merlin, and even Aliens. One of the most popular beliefs was that Stonehenge was built by the Druids. These high priests of the Celts, constructed it for sacrificial ceremonies. It was John Aubrey, who first linked Stonehenge to the Druids. Additionally, Dr. William Stukeley, another Stonehenge antiquary, also claimed the Druids were Stonehenges builders.

Stukeley studied Stonehenge a century later than Aubrey and became so involved in the study of the Druid religion that he himself became one. Through his work he was very instrumental in popularizing the theory that Stonehenge was built by Druids.

  • They wanted bread with there hamburgers! LOL

  • if these poeple had the ability to shift 20 ton stones then they had the capability to import grain and trade with other regions.

  • I think stone henge was an ancient grain store,and the stones supported a roof to cover an ant hill of grain that was filled from a hole at the top and emptied from gaps around the base,the ditch around the out side was to keep rodents out.

  • @Rikitocker Actually, you couldn't be more wrong. The only thing I would say is that this most likely didn't go on at Stonehenge 4,500 years ago. It would be have been considered desecration and disrespectful to the ancestors. Signs of clear mass gatherings & solstice feasting in BA Stonehenge have been found nearby at Durrington Walls henge, where the people of SH lived. Discarded pig bones, middens and space for about 1000 neolithic dwellings. Potentially up to 8000 people celebrating.

  • @mnmhgbns Sorry, but genetic research doesn't lie. A large majority of the native British people here today have ancestry back at least 5,000yrs to this land. What, you think the Stonehenge people mysteriously all died and left no trace? Who are these celts anyway? We're not talking celts anyway (btw, only called celts 300yrs ago) who were Iron Age peoples, 2000 years after Stonehenge.

  • @Ziggurathss wherreeee???? :(

    

  • the guy at 0:58 doesn't show any emotions...his eyes are very dead...I wonder if he is human

  • these people should realize that there likley not related to the ancient celtic british people who built it in anyway!
