Stonehenge--The World Heritage Site

Stonehenge
Last Sunday,6 November 2016, I visited the world-famous ancient stone-circle and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe—Stonehenge. After three-hour bus distance from Brighton, I arrived at Stonehenge and got an entrance ticket from its brand new visitor centre.
The first stone I met in the walking trail
This mysterious Stonehenge and its surroundings is a world heritage site (1986) recognized by UNESCO. It is located in Wiltshire, England. According to archaeology, Stonehenge is completed around 1250 BC. So far, no one can exactly explain how ancient people move all these stones to this site and how it becomes a tool of everyday Neolithic life.
  

It could be assumed that ancient people used the stone-circle to calculate time? As you can see the sun-reflecting shadows from stone-circle in the ground; or perhaps it is a religious place that people used to worship their God (“spirit”).

However, one thing can be 100% sure is that Stonehenge is absolutely one of the cultural icons for the UK. And it is definitely a “must-see” landscape while you live in the southern UK. Just walk in and let the force from Stonehenge be with you.

巨石陣 - 世界遺產
巨石陣
上週日,2016年11月6日,我參觀了世界著名的古代石圈和歐洲最著名的史前紀念碑 - 巨石陣。從布萊頓乘車3個小時後,我到達了巨石陣並從其全新的遊客中心取得一張門票。

我在步道上遇到的第一塊石頭
這個神秘的巨石陣及其周圍環境是聯合國教科文組織認可的世界遺產(1986年)。它位於英格蘭威爾特郡。根據考古學,巨石陣於公元前1250年左右完工。到目前為止,沒有人能夠準確地解釋古代人如何將所有這些石頭移動到這個地方以及它如何成為日常新石器時代生活的工具。

也許可以假設古代人是用石頭圈來計算時間. 如同你看到地面上石圈的陽光反射的陰影,或者它是人們過去崇拜他們的神(“精神”)的宗教場所?

然而,有一點可以100%肯定,巨石陣絕對是英國的文化標誌之一。當你住在英國南部時,這絕對是一個“必看”的景觀。走進去,讓巨石陣的力量與你同在。
