Asked by Wiki User

Scientists say the early pedestrians (Greeks) use the stone henge to calculate the the whole solar system (Wow). As you watch *Mysteries of the Universe*, They reveal the secrets of the stone henge. If your in a specific spot, as you can see, the moon stands above the heel rock and reveals another secret that tells us we need to see the next one in winter. But some henges sinks under ground. So scientist use advanced technology to tell what the whole site looks like when the henges where all there. As they looked closer, the sun squeezes between the henges. Which means when early pedestrians doesn't have any technology like ours, they're still smart enough to calculate the whole solar system

Asked by Wiki User

There are probably hundreds of myths and legends about Stonehenge. Various people have attributed the building of this great megalith to the Danes, Romans, Saxons, Greeks, Atlantes, Egyptians, Phoenicians Celts, King Aurelius Ambrosius's, Merlin, and even Aliens.

One of the most popular beliefs was that Stonehenge was built by the Druids. These high priests of the Celts, constructed it for sacrificial ceremonies. It was John Aubrey, who first linked Stonehenge to the Druids. Additionally, Dr. William Stukeley, another Stonehenge antiquary, also claimed the Druids were Stonehenge's builders. Stukeley studied Stonehenge a century later than Aubrey and became so involved in the study of the Druid religion that he himself became one. Through his work he was very instrumental in popularizing the theory that Stonehenge was built by Druids.
