Stone Hedge is a very complicated structure witch is located in England. It has
many myths, legends, and questions surrounding its uses and origin. In this
report it goes over the probabilities for the uses of Stone Hedge. Also it gives
reasons why or why not it could have been used for that reason. Plus it gives a
brief history about when and who built it. Stone Hedge is an elaborate circular
formation mainly large blue stone and tertiary sandstone. It is located about
eight miles north of Sabsbury, Witshire witch is in England. The outer ring of
fifty-six stone holes is known as the Aubrey holes. These rings have holes were
stones once where but have disappeared. "Each hole is about four feet deep
and about six feet in diameter. These stones and the Heel stone where
constructed around 1800b.c. in the Late Neolithic period."
"Excavations between 1940 and 1961 suggested that Stonehenge was not built
all at once but in three stages. These are Stonehenge I, II, and III. The third
is broken down into three parts these are IIIa, IIIb, and IIIc." The first
stones put into place where the Aubery stone and the Heel stone. Also built with
these was a large mound of dirt around the out side of the Aubery stones. This
circle has a diameter of three hundred twenty feet. It has one opening of
thirty-five feet wide in the northeast side facing the Heel stone. There are
many different ideas as to why Stone Hendge was constructed, such as a solar
temple, a lunar observatory, a place of healing and others witch is not based on
scientific evidence such as a landing place for alien space craft. There have
been many different excavations trying to solve the mystery about Stone Hendge.
Some of the biggest questions are why and how did these people move these huge
rocks, some of witch are sixteen feet high and weigh around thirty five tons,
miles to put them in a circle. Put the most likely reason, in my view, is for a
place of healing. "Testing done during the "Dragon project"
reveled that the stones have a strange magnetic field around them." This
points to Stone Hendge being used for a place of healing. For centuries people
that have had broken and or fractured bones have visited Stone Hendge and it
was increased there rate of healing. Also, modern medical science is using
Electro magnetics to treat many broken bones, and other injuries and illnesses.
Plus there have been flaws in the line up of the stones and stars. This suggests
that it is most likely not a lunar observatory as once thought, but Stone Hendge
also could be a place of worship seeing as though it was built before Christ's
birth. Also seeing that it was built by many different people at many different
times, most likely could have had many different uses. Because of this we may
never be sure exactly what Stonehenge was used for. We can only really guess but
from all of the evidence collected from years past we have a pretty good idea
what it most likely was used for. Of the about two hundred place for stones only
fifty-five stones remain standing today. There are also many other stones and
areas for the stones that have been named other than the Aubrey Holes. One
example of this is the Y and Z holes. Although neither of the rings is any
longer visible excavations revealed that stones were there. The Y holes are a
ring of holes about sixty feet inside the Aubrey holes. This ring consists of
thirty stone holes. Although none of the stones are still there the holes in the
ground suggest that there were stones there. The Z holes are about eighty feet
inside the Aubrey holes. This ring has twenty-nine stone holes. Like the Y holes
none of these are still standing but the holes in the ground suggest that stones
where there once. Some of the individual stones have been named. These are the
Heel stone, Slaughter stone, Altar stone, and two station stones. The station
stones are just inside the dirt wall that surrounds Stonehenge. One is on the
northwest side and the other is on the southeast side. The Altar stone is a
large stone placed near the middle of the large circle. It is surrounded by two
u formations of stones. One small than a larger one followed by two more circles
then the z holes. The open end of the u formations faces the entrance to the
east. These other two circles and two u formations are mostly what is left of
Stonehenge. There are many reasons for why Stonehenge was built and evidence
backing the reasons, as well as, the lay out of Stonehenge. All this evidence
proves that Stonehenge is a complicated structure in England, which has a lot of
myths, legends, and questions surrounding its uses and origins. If we ever
unlock the secret of Stonehenge we may be able to learn a lot about our past and
ancestors.
