The first "sighting" of Stonehenge was when it was built. Since that time it has remained in the same location, which has been common knowledge. It has never been lost or rediscovered.
The Acropolis is a fortified natural stronghold. The Parthenon is built on the Acropolis.
It is believed that the Winter Solstice was celebrated by the Celts, the same group believed to build the Stonehenge. The Stonehenge appears to have been built to celebrate this time of year.
Stonehenge has no official ceremonial use today, other than a tourist attraction.

Stonehenge has never been lost so it has never been discovered. It has always been in the same place and people have always known it was there, they just didn't know what it was for or who built it.It wasn't discovered. It was built about 4000/5000 and people have always known it was there. What they can't decide on is how the stones got to their present position.

Stonehenge is probably the most important prehistoric monument in the whole of Britain and has attracted visitors from earliest times. It stands as a timeless monument to the people who built it.
Recent archaeological investigations have shown that Stonehenge was built on the same site as a much earlier structure of earth and timber, dating to 5,000 years ago.The Temples at Abu Simbel date to early in the reign of Ramesses II, about 1280 BC or about 3,291 years ago.The site and use of Stonehenge is therefore much older, but its stone circles were not completed until about 3,800 years ago.
