Stonehenge: Decoded

Personally, I think that it's really quite unbelievable that 3000+ years after Stonehenge was erected its purpose and its means of construction still remains something of a mystery.

To be sure - Stonehenge is an ancient monument that stands tall as one of the world's most awesome and curious treasures.

Built using precision measuring techniques, this structure continues to baffle modern-day archaeologists and historians, alike.

With some of the massive stones used to construct Stonehenge weighing up to 26 tons (and standing 18 feet tall and 7 feet wide), this huge megalithic structure will probably remain the mystery that it is now, and for time-eternal.

This is a great documentary in terms of how well it's made, but the fact of the matter is this plays out more like a movie storywise instead of real stuff. Some of the theories provided were too fantasy, and the evidence given still isn't convincing. There's no way I'm believing that they brought all those stones for miles in months or years. I can believe the religious aspects sorrounding stonehenge, but not the fantasy elements.

Whilst it is impossible to know for sure the purpose of Stonehenge and its neighbouring sites, this documentary does a great job of giving you the facts available and putting forward some very plausible suggestions as to how and why it was built.

Additionally this is not just about Stonehenge, but also about megalithic and Stone Age structures in Ireland too... Again nothing is confirmed for certain, but it does show that our ancestors were a lot more knowledgeable and even artistic than previously thought.
