• Read the text, understand the meaning of the text, do the tasks Stonehenge Stonehenge is Britain's most recognizable prehistoric symbol. Its original purpose is not clear to people, but it is often called an astronomical observatory for predicting lunar and solar eclipses. Others are sure that it used to be a burial ground for high-ranking citizens. Another theory, suggested by an archacologist John Aubrey, is that Stonehenge was built as a Druid temple. In fact, Stonehenge was constructed in three stages. In its first stage, it was a large earthwork erected about 4500 years ago. About 2 000 BC the first stone ring (which is the inner ring now) was made of bluestones, up to 4 tons each. And about 80 stones were used, in all. The huge sandstones which form the outer ring weigh 50 tons each. To move them from the Marlborough Downs, 32 kilometers to the north, is a greater problem than moving the bluestones. At least 600 workers were needed just to move each massive sandstone slab. The question "Who built Stonchenge?" has not been answered yet. The monument's erection has been associated with different ancient peoples throughout the years: the Saxons, the Egyptians, the Romans, the Greeks, the Druids (Celtic high priests). The best theory seems to be that Stonehenge was begun by the people of the late Neolithic period (around 3 000 BC). Nowadays the Stonehenge site is still really mighty and the closer you get to it the mightier it looks.
