Stonehenge is a megalithic rock monument of 150 enormous
stones set in a purposeful circular pattern, located on the Salisbury Plain of
southern England, the main portion of it built about 2000 BC. The outside
circle of Stonehenge includes 17 enormous upright trimmed stones of hard
sandstone called sarsen; some paired with a lintel over the top. This circle is
about 30 meters (100 feet) in diameter, and, stands about 5 meters (16 feet)
tall.
Inside the circle are five more paired-and-linteled stones
of sarsen, called trilithons, each of these weighing 50-60 tons and the tallest
7 meters (23 feet) high. Inside that, a few smaller stones of bluestone,
quarried 200 kilometers away in the Preseli Mountains of western Wales, are set
in two horseshoe patterns. Finally, one large block of Welsh sandstone marks
the center of the monument.
OK, That's all that I want to tell you about stonehenge. I'm sorry if the description is too hard for you to understand. See you at the next post ^_^
