Ancient structure or hoax? Scientists still doubt the origins of Stonehenge

From school we know that Stonehenge is a megalithic ancient monument located in Great Britain. Also, everyone has heard that the secret of the installation of huge stones by ancient masters has not yet been solved. But all this is nonsense for children and tourists - the builders of the ancient temple are known and now you will see their faces and learn a lot of new things about the technologies of the “ancient architects”.

In fact, Stonehenge has many mysteries - the question of who, why and how brought these colossal blocks here continues to excite the minds of scientists and enthusiasts. But everyone who needs it already knows the secret of how multi-ton stones were placed on top of each other.

No one is sure what the grandiose structure, built in a field thousands of years ago, actually looked like. Descendants inherited stones scattered over a large area and haphazardly embedded in the ground. Attempts to assemble something unusual from individual elements began back in 1901, and since then the British landmark has been “reconstructed” several times.

A person brought up on the classical theory about ancient builders and their unknown technologies for moving goods will be quite upset when they see these photographs. A tourist who has spent money and time visiting this attraction will be even more upset. But you can’t erase the words from the song - you’ll have to somehow continue to live with it.

The photo shows that the stones were installed not by ancient craftsmen or the wizard Merlin, but by ordinary builders of the 20th century. The work used not only the usual spells for construction sites all over the world, but also the most real lifting equipment. In addition, many photographs show that the architects do not disdain modern measuring instruments.

Many British scientists are confident that Stonehenge in its modern form does not have the slightest resemblance to the ancient original. Disputes about what it really was and what it looked like have occupied historians, archaeologists and engineers for a century and a half.

Meanwhile, while some argue, others waste no time and, every 50 years, rearrange the stones at their discretion. What we see today is the result of the painstaking work of engineers and builders who made the next castling of blocks in 1963.
