EDITORS COMMENTS
This image of Stonehenge, taken by photographer Ethel Davies in 2012, showcases the timeless beauty and historical significance of this preeminent prehistoric monument located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. Dating back to between 3000 and 2000 BC, Stonehenge is a testament to the ingenuity and cultural richness of our Neolithic and Early Bronze Age ancestors. As one of the most famous landmarks in England and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Stonehenge continues to intrigue and inspire visitors from around the world. The monument's colossal stones, each weighing up to 50 tons, were transported from various locations and meticulously arranged in a circular formation, with the tallest stones at the outer edge and the smaller ones at the center. The exact purpose of Stonehenge remains a mystery, with theories suggesting it may have served as a religious or astronomical site. Regardless, its enduring allure transcends time and culture, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or simply the wonders of our past. Ethel Davies' color photograph, taken in the 21st century, offers a glimpse into the majesty of Stonehenge as it stands today, a reminder of the incredible achievements of our ancestors and the enduring power of human curiosity and creativity.
