Great Pyramid of giza
-Doctor Who fan :D
Around the same time as the first three stones of Stonehenge
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.
The most active phase of Pyramid construction in Egypt was during 2300BC. Stonehenge is believed to date from around 2500BC, making Stonehenge slightly older, although in reality the two monuments date from around about the same time.

To build the whole of Stonehenge will obviously depend on how many people there was for the task. What we suggested was that, given a great concentration of effort, is the sarsen structures, the biggest bits of Stonehenge, could have been built within a period of three years. We suspect that probably it took longer. There is the opinion that Stonehenge was constructed in sections over a period of time that span as many as 300 to 500 years.
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.
A very long time, it was used to design the Pyramids and Stonehenge
The Great Pyramid of Giza! Dr Who, I'm guessing?! ;)
There are 92 stones at Stonehenge at the present time
No-one knows for certain, but the most recent theory is that Stonehenge is a monument to the dead and that the people who built it actually wanted to build it and be part of the process in making a treasured monument. The most recent archaeological dig didn't find anything to indicate slaves built Stonehenge. However the 'most recent theory; is simply wrong, the Structure that everyone understands as Stonehenge wasn't even built at the time cremations were being casually inserted into the ditch and Aubrey holes of the earlier phase.
Stonehenge has no official ceremonial use today, other than a tourist attraction.
