Stonehenge was built over 2000 years starting in 3000 BC. It was constructed in phases, with the first phase involving digging wells and erecting 80 standing stones known as blue stones that were brought from Wales. Later phases involved rebuilding the monument with larger sarsen stones weighing up to 30 tons brought from nearby. Archaeologists believe Stonehenge may have functioned as an astronomical observatory or religious site, and was part of a ritual landscape connecting it to other monuments.

Stonehenge is an ancient stone circle located in Wiltshire, England. It was constructed in multiple phases beginning around 2950 BCE, when a timber circle and ring of 56 pits were built. Around 2550 BCE, construction began on the stone circle, using large sarsen stones weighing up to 60 tons brought from nearby and smaller bluestones transported from Wales. The site and stones were carefully constructed and oriented using geometric proportions and the golden ratio, with the number three incorporated throughout the design. Stonehenge was likely used for rituals connected to astronomy and as a burial ground.

Stonehenge served as a burial ground from its earliest beginnings, as new archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project indicates. Burials continued at Stonehenge for around 500 years, from when the first ditches were built around the monument until the giant stones were erected. The site functioned as a burial ground for at least 500 years according to evidence from the Stonehenge Riverside Project led by Professor Mike Parker Pearson.

Stonehenge
Stonehenge is a massive stone monument located on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. It was built between 5,000 and 4,000 years ago and has evolved over 10,000 years. The site contains two types of stones - larger sarsen stones that weigh up to 25 tons each and were brought from nearby, and smaller bluestones that were transported from Wales over 140 miles away. Stonehenge and its surroundings have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986 due to its archaeological and historical significance.
ELEMENTS IN STONE AGE
The document discusses various types of prehistoric megalithic structures found across the world, including menhirs, dolmens, cromlechs, and tumuli. Menhirs are large single standing stones that were erected for religious purposes. Dolmens are stone chamber tombs composed of two or three vertical stones supporting a large flat capstone. Cromlechs are stone circles that were sometimes used as solar observatories. Tumuli are burial mounds constructed over graves to protect and honor the dead. Examples of these structures still standing include menhirs in Brittany, dolmens in Ireland and Korea, Stonehenge in England, and the royal tumulus of Count Nemrut in Turkey.

Ceide Fields And Carrowmore Cemetery
Ceide Fields is a Neolithic site on the west coast of Ireland that was eventually covered by a bog over time. The site demonstrates how Neolithic people farmed and used simple tools like plows and grinding stones. Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery in County Sligo contains cairns and tombs that show how Stone Age people honored and respected their dead through burial monuments. Tomb 51 at the site contains a cairn inside that was likely used to mark a burial.
The Giants Causeway
The Giant's Causeway is an area of approximately 40,000 interlocking basalt columns located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, which was formed by an ancient volcanic eruption. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986 and is one of Northern Ireland's most popular tourist attractions. The basalt columns were formed approximately 60 million years ago during the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, resulting in volcanic activity that produced lava flows which solidified into hexagonal columns as they cooled.
Newgrange
Newgrange is a large Neolithic monument located in Ireland that was built around 3200 BC, making it older than both the pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge. It sits atop a ridge along the Boyne River and consists of a large mound covering an inner chamber and passageway. During the winter solstice, sunlight enters through a small opening and illuminates the interior of the chamber for approximately 17 minutes. The complex construction suggests it was built by a highly organized community and may have had astronomical or religious significance.
Henges

Evidence... notes
1) Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, suggesting that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart.
2) Evidence supporting continental drift includes matching rock formations and fossil records found across separated continents, as well as similar fossils of tropical plants found in arctic regions, indicating past warmer climates.
3) The theory of plate tectonics emerged as scientists discovered that the ocean floors are formed through sea floor spreading at mid-ocean ridges, with the youngest rocks found at the ridges and increasing in age further away. This supported Wegener's theory that continents have moved over time.
Supercontinent cycle
The document summarizes the theory of supercontinent cycles, where the Earth's continents periodically assemble into a single landmass called a supercontinent and then break apart over hundreds of millions of years. It describes how Pangaea formed approximately 300 million years ago before breaking apart, and how earlier supercontinents like Rodinia and Columbia also existed. It explains that the movement of tectonic plates will likely cause the continents to reconverge into a new supercontinent in about 200 million years. This cyclical assembly and breakup of supercontinents over billions of years has shaped the Earth's geography and geology.

Two burial chambers located within 25 meters of each other were found in the mound during excavations in 1847. Artifacts from the Early Christian period and animal bones were uncovered. The mound contains two tombs facing west surrounded by an estimated 115 surrounding stones. One tomb is smaller with a short passageway and circular chamber. The larger tomb's passageway divides into a cruciform chamber with three side recesses and annexes containing additional chambers.
Review#9 earth's history
Geologists have developed a geologic history of Earth by sequencing past geologic events and determining the relative and absolute ages of fossils and rocks. Relative age refers to the age of a fossil or rock in comparison to another, while absolute age is the real age. Index fossils and volcanic ash, which are widespread and lived or occurred over short time periods, are used to determine relative ages. Radioactive dating determines absolute ages by measuring the decay of radioactive elements like carbon-14 and uranium-238, which have half-lives of 5,700 and 4.5 billion years respectively.
Dynamic Earth Chapter 3 Plate Tectonics 1
This document discusses plate tectonics and the evidence that supports the theory. It describes how Alfred Wegener first proposed continental drift in 1912, but it was not widely accepted until the 1950s with the discovery of mid-ocean ridges and evidence of seafloor spreading. The theory of plate tectonics links continental drift and seafloor spreading and explains how the Earth's crust has evolved over time as the lithospheric plates have moved and collided.

Great wall
The document summarizes a photo essay about the beauty and history of the Great Wall of China. It discusses how the Great Wall stretches over 4,000 miles and was built by hand over 3,000 years ago to ward off invaders. It also tells a famous Chinese folktale about a woman named Meng Jiang Nu who walked thousands of miles to find her husband who had died while working on the Wall. The document highlights how the Great Wall symbolizes love, sacrifice, and heroism in Chinese culture and history.
People and the Planet
Cave people lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. They hunted mammoths and other animals for food and materials, using weapons made of stone, bone, and tusks. They decorated their cave homes with paintings of the animals they hunted. For light, they used lamps made of burning moss or animal fat. When cave people died, they were buried with their weapons and jewelry.
Neolithic Ireland powerpoint
This document discusses different types of burial sites used in Neolithic Ireland, including dolmens, court cairns, and passage graves. Dolmens consisted of three standing stones supporting a large capstone and were moved into place using logs. Court cairns had chambers for burials and courtyards for rituals, and objects were sometimes buried with the deceased. The most impressive sites were passage graves like Newgrange, with long entrance passages leading to burial chambers. Newgrange was constructed around 5,000 years ago and its special feature is that it is illuminated by the rising sun on the winter solstice. These elaborate burial monuments show that Neolithic people in Ireland had advanced building skills and believed in an afterlife

The Hunton Group limestone formed between 450-375 million years ago during the Paleozoic Era as sediments accumulated in shallow seas. These sediments were later lithified into limestone and uplifted during the Pennsylvanian period to form the Arbuckle Mountains. The Hunton Group is exposed in outcrops today and ranges from 100-1000 feet thick, consisting of grey limestone containing marine fossils. Younger Sylvan Shale and Viola Group limestones underlie the Hunton Group, also forming in shallow marine environments.

Alfred Wegner was both a meteorologist and geologist who proposed the theory of continental drift in his book The Origin of Continents and Oceans. He believed that over millions of years, the supercontinent Pangaea broke apart into the continents, which continue to drift today. As evidence, Wegner cited matching coastlines, identical fossil matches across continents, matching rock types and geological features between continents, and evidence of ancient climates. However, his idea was rejected due to unanswered questions and lack of evidence about the mechanism and weakness of the ocean floor allowing drift.

Stonehenge
The document discusses several mysteries and theories about the origins and purpose of Stonehenge. Archaeologists have uncovered clues but many secrets remain. Some theories suggest it was used for ancient funerary practices or had astronomical alignments. Recent discoveries found people were buried there as early as 3000 BC, showing it was used as a cemetery from the start.
Stone age
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in England composed of a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists believe it was constructed between 3000 BC to 2000 BC in multiple stages. The first stage involved building a large earthwork around 3100 BC. Later, in 2150 BC, 82 bluestones were transported nearly 240 miles from Wales and erected in the center. In 2000 BC, the sarsen stones were brought from 25 miles away and formed an outer circle and inner trilithons. After 1500 BC, the bluestones were moved into their current configuration. Theories suggest it was an astronomical observatory, cemetery, or religious temple.

History of architecture
This document provides a history of prehistoric architecture in Southwest Asia and Europe from 10,000 BCE to 100 BCE. It describes how early humans began building structures like menhirs (single standing stones), dolmens (structures made of two vertical stones supporting a horizontal stone), and stone circles as early as 3500 BCE, likely for religious and ceremonial purposes. These early structures were made from large megalithic stones and provided some of the first examples of architecture in the Western world before written history.

Stonehenge, the enigmatic prehistoric monument nestled on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, has captivated the imagination of people for centuries. This iconic arrangement of massive stones, standing silent and steadfast against the ravages of time, continues to inspire wonder and curiosity. As one of the most famous landmarks in the world, Stonehenge remains a testament to the ingenuity and spiritual beliefs of our ancient ancestors.
Monoliths
A monolith is a single massive stone, sometimes moved and incorporated into monuments. Megaliths are large stones used to construct monumental structures. Stonehenge is a famous megalithic structure composed of arranged monoliths. Various Neolithic stone circles and structures from the Bronze Age are described, including Long Meg and her Daughters, Stonehenge, the Ring of Brodgar, and the Adam and Eve longstones. While the original rituals are unknown, megalithic structures were likely created for religious purposes focused on solstices, though uses have changed over time.
Stonehenge presentation
Stonehenge is a prehistoric World Heritage Site in Wiltshire, England consisting of a stone circle built in three phases between 3100 BC and 1950 BC. The first phase included a timber circle around 3000 BC, later replaced with stones around 2600 BC. Around 2400 BC, 30 huge sarsen stones were erected forming an inner and outer stone circle, with the remaining bluestones placed innermost. Though its purpose remains unknown, it is believed Stonehenge functioned as a ritual site and calendar based on solar alignments during solstices.
Pre-History and Egyptian Architecture
The document provides an overview of the history of interior design from prehistoric times through ancient civilizations.

Stonehenge
Undoubtedly, Stonehenge is one of the most important megalithic monuments in the world. It consists of four concentric circles of massive stones constructed during the Neolithic and Bronze Age near Amesbury, Great Britain. While archaeologists have different theories about who built Stonehenge and why, the most widely accepted is that it served as an astronomical sanctuary, with its structure helping establish the path of the sun and moon to signal seasons and eclipses. Further discoveries may continue to reveal more about how it was constructed and its religious and cultural significance.
