Stonehenge was built between 3600 BC and 2000 BC in England by indigenous people. It consists of fifty-six large stones transported over 250 km and arranged in concentric circles, with an entrance and altar at its center. Though now in ruins, archaeologists believe Stonehenge was used as a religious site where rituals were conducted to honor gods. It remains an important spiritual site for some who practice the ancient druid religion.

6. How it was built:
- First, they moved the big stones using trunks.
- When they arrived, they put them in a big hole
made on the ground.
- Then, using ropes, they raised the stone and
held it with sand.
- They repeated the process to complete all the
circle.

archaeologists have made an outline where we can
see three circumferences.
If this outline was correct, there was an
entrance. From there, we could see an altar.

practised their religious rituals.
